More slogging

After lunch my Digimemo thing arrived.

But I didn't look at it straight away as it was just after 2pm.

And that's when I phone people I've emailed in the morning.

I got through to one person who was advertising for a "co-ordinator", rather than a project manager, for a contract role with a major bank. I wasn't sure if the job was too junior for me so I asked him what rate they would pay. He told me and that indicated it was senior enough (it was significantly more than I was earning in the last role). I asked him to put my name forward and he agreed. So that's a bite.

Another advertiser had an 0870 number. I couldn't find a normal number for his particular office. But I did find a normal number for the agency's London office. So I phoned that. They didn't have a non-0870 number for him. So, I told him I didn't want his 0870 number and I wasn't going to leave contact details for him to call me. I find it so low to use this number. Quite a few, if not most, people using it will be out of work.

I also phoned a few recruitment agents I've spoken to in the last weeks - just to keep contact. A couple didn't have any news for me regarding jobs for which I've applied. Way it goes.

Then I looked at my Digimemo. It's quite good and I'm sure will be useful when I get another job.
