    hmm

    what can i say, i was doing a overseas grad prog and after 6 months of training i never get the offer. the company said that due to cutbacks the company are not going to go ahead with this, basically that they are not hiring now. its r&d work, so no profit just losses. cant believe it

    i have been told by accounts that the company are slashing costs and i know from reading the company flyers we get that things are not rosy

    but now i am left with no job, and 6 months design training. that particular work is pretty impossible to get and ireland is dead for work it seems...

    i got a pretty good cv went back to do a degree as a mature student but this is the only work i got since i graduated.

    so pissed off now i cant even eat properly, i was out at the weekend but i hardly opened my mouth to my mate.

    things went all pear shaped so fast and i am stumped.

    That sounds tough, but as you said you have a great cv so keep going. Would it be the sort of design work you could do from home with a company in a different country?Could you go freelance? I don't know anything about design and r+d so sorry if those suggestions are irrelevant .
    Good luck and do not panic
    oh and say it to your friend once you say it out loud it won't seem at catastrophic .He or She may have a few suggestions and even if they don't they will lend supposrt

    Low-level microelectronic design? I wouldn't think the jobs are exactly plentiful (outside of Malaysia, Taiwan and a few other electronic manufacturing oriented Asian economies) but I also wouldn't say that it's total doom and gloom. If you're experienced with a good CV then the UK has got to have some jobs. I'd suggest getting the finger out with an aggressive job search now rather than procrastinating. Absolute worst case you could look to go into academic research (presumably with a sizable pay cut).
