Hrmm, all suckie. There again, it CAN force you to think about what you are doing vrs what you want to do… hell, it worked for (sir) Bob Jones (he was in hospital for 3-6 months in his early 20’s – thats how he got started in commercial property). I know of a number of people who got made redundant in the past few years (most of them ASP developers). None of them are worse off now than they were before. Most are a lot better off 🙂

Hrmm, if you are around around lunch time during the week, and live where I think you live (blue building over Cash Converters in C. St, right?), give me a yell, and I’ll bring the Segway over. 🙂 Always fun for a laugh 🙂 I’m around the corner on Vic St.

Of course, that’s if you can handle hanging out for a bit with a (gasp) .NET g33k 🙂

-Nic.

I was made redundant from the job I had as a student earlier this year.

Oh well, it’s a push to do something that prevents you ending up in in rut. Now admittedly, 3 months probably isn’t long enough for most people to get in a rut, but, well…

Crap! I’ve never been in that situation and am impressed that you can even declare something positive from the day. Good luck with your job hunting.

As someone who’s lost his second job the same way (albeit in a months-long decaying process from “oh yeah and while we’re waiting for clients you can do that” to “we’ll close next month anyway, just play UT”), I can understand the frustration.
Especially since on your CV, when you’ve worked at a place where you couldn’t accomplish as much as you wanted to do, it’s hard to put the experience in a great light.

Good luck with your job hunt! The NZ scene seems good enough to recognize your worth, so I’m confident you’ll find a nice place to do cool stuff soon. 🙂
