Recessions and depressions (which thankfully they haven't rated this one as) affect jobs worse than anything else, including natural disasters. I'm only 40 and this is my 3rd! (The 90's, the dotcom crash and now this horror).

Glad to hear that the resume rule doesn't apply. Just over 15 years ago in this country they introduced legislation whereby all companies need to have a signed agreement for retaining "personal and sensitive information" which covers resumes. Unless they have this signed agreement a company can only hold the resume for 6 months. Most of them just don't bother; they bin the resumes after they've chosen the job candidate.

I don't know what the point of the legislation is, but it sucks!
