A bite

Bloody hell. My mobile phone rang today.

Just before lunch - my lowest point of the day.

It was an agency to whom I had applied this morning. Although I was going to phone them, after lunch (one of the three most important meals of the day), it would have been half-heartedly.

I'd seen similar adverts from this agency before. I'd even applied to them. But they had no named contact. This advert was different; not so much in the details but in that they gave a name and a contact number.

Anyway, the agent called before I was going to call her. Good chat, she sent me a job spec, I ever so slightly modified my c.v. and gave a three-line summary of my appropriate skills. She's sent these details onto her client (a rather massive financial company).

Good end to a rather dismal week. After all, I could only apply for four jobs, one below my psychologically important target.
