Now as you all know, thats all gone pear shaped.
The industry is getting rid of people, not taking them on.
Any ideas of what work he should be looking for, as all the posts he has applied for so far, he has not even recieved anything back from them.
We all are very concerned.

what do you mean "for what?", there are lots of UK people that would love to have had that same chance, but cant afford it.
he rather than you needs to expand his long term view....., for instance, he could do another degree in a related subject thats got prospects for the near future (4years+), or just expand your thinking, and do this and related searchs, and follow them up.

tenders are always happening even in this downturn, and the EU rules are far better these days for UK firms looking to expand into the full EU markets, he could hitch a wild ride in that massive market place.
just because the Uk might be seeing a lowering of Quantity Surveying and related spend in your area, doesnt mean all the EU countrys are doing the same, theres always more places to expand and rebuild....
you and he have to think far better and longer term, especially at a mear 22 years old.
