Just before anyone start the "picky job-seekers vs employers" debate, would like to point out that there are still many vacancies out there like in offshore operations, construction sectors etc. Many are quite well-paying and employers are even willing to sponsor the training if you're willing to commit. You can check with any recruiters out there.
