Prosperity - search for work

Have been searching for work now since November 2003. Too many people searching for too few jobs does not help. Went in for an agency today for IT front desk helpline. No processing until mid February and the consultant looked at me strangly as I am almost 50 and assumed I knew nothing. Age discrimmination! Wish we were judged as an individual on our own merits.

What to now I don't know. I keep clicking jobs adverts. Tried a fictitious CV then worried about getting any references.

Back to study on programming and languages and more clicking on jobsites.
