I admire your resilience and wish you progress very soon! Gerard, Netherlands

Like Marie, I looked after two ill parents for about a decade, and now that I've been looking actively for work for the last three years....the few jobs that are out there, always seem to go to someone else. At present, I'm at or near the top of the list for 3 municipal jobs, but I keep getting told that there's no funding for the jobs. In the next two weeks, I plan to take 2 more tests, hoping for the best. I admit that I have to borrow from a relative, just to get by. Sadly, no one seems to know or care, that looking after sick family members, is no picnic in the park. I wish you the best of luck in your job search, Marie; hoping your dream job is yours VERY soon.
