Well it seems that i am currently unemployed and looking for a job! The economy of Cyprus is going downhill and the recent influx of 40 000 + working immigrants from Greece has contributed in a shortage of jobs in the Cyprus market. No one can be blamed here but from the looks of it a lot of Cypriots will be migrating to other countries to seek employment in the months and years to come.
The government doesn’t seem to be doing much to help the situation either. They were not prepared for the new reality. Then again what can you say, the political scene in Cyprus is inherited and belongs to a few well known families, most of whom are backed with family money. I guess this is the reality in most democratic countries anyway. Makes me question the whole concept of our modern Capitalistic Democracy. The lesser of all evils i guess.
Well not much else to say here, if any of you readers hear of anything job wise i would appreciate any help i can get.
George,
What you say you are absolutely right. With 30,000+ unemployed in Cyprus, with the immigrants from Greece and other European and third countries, with many companies in Cyprus closing down or firing employees to survive there is only one thing i can say.
We should be glad that at least some companies are still hiring people.

Very true Thanos, I wonder if the situation would have been better for us had Cyprus, like Malta, imposed its own condition of only accepting up to a certain % of EU workers to be employed in its territory at any given time, when it entered the European Union (correct me if i am wrong here).
Glad to hear that people are still hiring though!
