Wednesday

What more can I say.

Today I responded to three adverts.

One was for a job advertised by another agency a few days ago (who never got back to me even though they said they would). I eventually got through to this agency but my career gap was a show-stopper. (During my career gap I gained four qualifications and language skills, so I did a bit more than just job hunt and stare at a hospital ceiling. Nevertheless.)

I spoke to the agency who had been handling my application for a job with a company based in Prague. They'd been advertising similar jobs again. Now, they tell that the jobs for which I applied had been filled. But they had some more and sent me the details of one.

In better times I would have told them to forget it. In better times I would have told them to forget it months ago. But the important thing is to get a job and getting a job in Prague would be very good indeed.

I spoke with a couple of other agencies as well. One had forgotten that I don't just do project management so it was good to remind them of my core skills.
