Have to say I'm really quite depressed with the archaeology jobs front... and a bit down generally. Been on the dole for 3 and a half months now with nothing on the horizon. No jobs on BAJR, no jobs anywhere else... except things I'm not cut out for (and outside my experience). Trying to convince non-archaeological employers that I would like to move away from archaeology is nigh on impossible (as it's all I've ever known), so stuck in a rut. I'd move abroad, but there seems little there either. But the thing is... I keep hoping that something will turn up... that or take on a temporary McJob just to afford Christmas. Perhaps there should be a "jobless archaeologist club" somewhere... a place where disaffected and disillusioned unemployed arch's can whinge together.
