Early 2009!It seemed like the break was turning into one giant Job Application! With the GFC not exactly helping me get Vac work for the break, I was determined to get a Grad offer for 2010! The downturn hadn't turn me off working in the Mining Industry, but it had definately made it alot harder to get a job!
A lot of companies had closed applications as early as Jan and a few had suspended the intake of Graduates until further notice. I had a number of friends who's graduate positions for 2010 had been cancelled! Many companies were being forced to cut costs in an attempt to ensure they would make it through the downturn, and unfortunately some graduate positions were made redundant as a result.
For me - the "Thanks for your application, but unfortunately....."! email was not helping the nerves for the coming year! Not only did I have to land a job, but I also had to complete my final year of Uni! I could definately see fun times ahead!
