i'm with WoF. its a slippery slope. if there were jobs out there that i stood a chance of getting, i wouldn't be working where i am now, because i fucking hate my current job. i don't want to risk landing on my arse with no job because i just know i'd be out of work for a considerable amount of time, and i cannot afford that.
i live in a very small city, and recently a supermarket was built. there were 200 job vacancies, and within the first few weeks they had received something within the range of 7000 applications, possibly more. i didn't even know there were that many people out of work in Lichfield. sometimes its not even a question of being qualified or motivated, its more to do with the sheer numbers of people rushing for one position. i really doubt they went through all of those applications for a fairly easy-to-get job.
