    May I suggest you get someone to take a look at your c.v. for you. Just in case you are missing something. Hopefully something will come along soon. x

    Crushing, I know - but at least they are bothering to let you know that you have been unsuccessful! My husband used to hear absolutely NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING! So rude. Keep on trying and something will turn up.
