A friend commented the other day that looking for jobs what a lot like online dating. After bravely selling yourself and putting yourself out there, no replies are pretty devastating.

Times are hard, people are going through jobs faster than hot meals. Divorce is on the increase, (if you can afford it), and its becoming increasingly difficult to meet people in a world where becoming socially acceptable (aka shitfaced) is becoming steadily more and more expensive.

So what happens in a world where you are getting no replies from job applications, but also the replies to your gaydar messages are equally scarce or solely comprised of the over-forties?

Here are my survival tips...

The similarities between the dating market and the job market are clear:
1. We are living in a recession, its time to lower your expectations.
2. If you are over 40, you are probably wasting your time.
3. Expect to send out considerably more than you get back.
4. Everyone wants a cleaner, a cook, a nanny.
5. Skillz kills, experience is everything.
6. A cock picture will get you nowhere.
