Hi, after being made redudant on lots of occasions more recently, I felt depressed down and useless as though I was unemployable. I have been going to many interviews to be told that I just missed out. At my age now 52 I though well perhaps I should stop trying to get a job and start up on my own. It was really dautning at first worried about paying bill etc but it was now or never. Its been over 6 months now and I have started my own consultancy and small training company and have never looked the back. It was hard work at the beginning and had to push myself going into companies but I am making enough to sustain myself and looking forward to a brigher future and not having to please other bosses but myself.
