Ive just been told that i am loosing my job
Discussion
Ive been working at Nokia for the past 15 years and today we were told that the majority of UK based activities will be cut.

Some people will be outsourced to a French company, but the majority will be made redundant. The job market is not looking good for engineering in the UK currently.
Just sharing as i am feeling low.

Thanks for the replies all of you (even the spelling Police).
I didnt sleep well last night and was worried about the prospect of looking for another job. I have become institutionalised by working at Nokia for 15 years. This was my first job since leaving unversity and understandably i am worried about interviews etc.
I am listing the sorts of jobs i would like to do after all this could be a good chance to do something new. I am based in Swindon and my wife and children are well established here. Telecomms companies are far and few between around this area now and Alcatel Lucent is looking at cuts and Motorola is now gone.
The worst case scenario would be that i am one of the chosen few to continue employment with Accenture, meaning that i would not be entitled to a redundancy pacakage.

My degree is within Telecommunications electronics, but my specilaist subject was RF design. However, i havent designed in anger for about 10 years.
Recently, i was a Customer Technical Acceptance manager. This involved liasing with operators like Vodafone, Orange and others all over the world, to make sure that a Nokia product passsed their own internal acceptance testing.
The job involved lots of error verfication and tracking as well as managing fixes etc.
