I am only partly aware of the story behind jester giving you so much ribbing, but it would appear to me that (if i have the story right) "waiting for the phone to ring" is one of the reasons some can stay out of work for so long.
Sending out resume's is only about 10% of the effort required to find work my friend.
Have you rung these 15 places to see if they have read your CV?
This is useful as it shows that you are keen, but also puts a voice to the generic CV's they read every day.
I also see that you wrote "sent out"....................Hand delivered with an introduction and maybe even a flirt with the receptionist is helpful.
The first thing i do when going through CV's is in order
1:Do they speak english and write well
2:Age, depending on the position to be filled. If it is a job in the lab we want youngsters because they have not learned bad habits from previous jobs , and they will only know our operating procedures.
3:Qualifications.
There are heaps of jobs out there EVERYWHERE the only reason people do not have jobs is because they are impaired in some way or they want to start at the TOP instead of working their way up there.

Latest figures I could find from the ABS:

Total number of job vacancies in May 2015 was 155,700
Number of people classified as unemployed in July 2015 was 772,300

Not sure of the number of people who are under-employed. Estimates are around 2 million I think.

My cousin is one those wanting to start at the top. His been looking for his dream job for over a year now. He could have got a job in the meantime.

I'm 100% sure the fed will raise rates at some point in the future but I'm 100% sure they will never get above 0% official rate again, I'll let you read into that what you want :)
 
One man's "panic and turmoil" is another's profitable volatility:

'Panic and turmoil' with Fed rate hike, World Bank economist warns

A decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week would cause "panic and turmoil" in emerging markets, according to the chief economist for the World Bank.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Kaushik Basu said that the Fed raising rates wouldn't cause a major crisis, but nevertheless called on the U.S. central bank to delay such a move to protect smaller economies.

"The world economy is looking so troubled that if the U.S. goes in for a very quick move in the middle of this, I feel it is going to affect countries quite badly," he said.

Basu's statement was the latest entreaty by an official at an international organization for the Fed to delay tightening monetary policy.

If the US raises rates it indicates there is growth. So why do markets seem to be reacting negatively?

I know this is why I cannot wait to see what they do.

They've forced themselves into a corner and it will be VERY interesting to see their next move?
