Dont worry MrsDaddy, you're not alone. I'm in the same situation as you are now. I find JoeBloggs posts and messages very inspiring and motivating. I've read lots of his posts relating to his wife's experiences in job hunting. At first I thought I only need an NI number to make it easier for me to find a job here but the referees are also an issue to me because I'm just new here , aint got no one to ask for as character reference. My work overseas and in the Philippines seem not being noticed or credited as employers want job experience in the UK. But, what I've learned from it is rejection can be harsh but it thickens your skins and gives you strong backbones. Never stop dreaming, my friend. We'll soon find a good job.
