Selling

Like this morning I couldn't find any jobs to which to apply.

Bother.

So, I went through my database, looking at agencies who have "bitten" me in the last few months.

I called as many agents as possible. Often the job had gone on indefinite hold. But I wanted to see if they had anything else suitable.

A couple said they might well have.

This luke-warm-calling exercise may just pay off. It keeps me in the minds of agents. It also reminds them that I actually can do two things:

• Thing no. 1: support and infrastructure team management
• Thing no. 2: project management.

Most times I apply for roles requiring only one of the above skills, sending a c.v. focussing on those skills. This could mean that agents aren't considering me against all suitable roles.
