Respectable

Today I managed to apply for three jobs.

It would have been four. But as I was writing the fourth email my mobile bleeped. It was the third agency I'd emailed.

We had a chat about the role and she then sent me her client's job spec.

Although the spec streched to two pages it was actually very brief and totally uncontroversial (which is unusual as most job specs have something over which I'm at least a little bit doubtful).

Oh, except the identity of the client.

It was a company, a large financial one, to whom I had applied, for a similar sounding role, just over a week ago via another agency.

Damn.

Don't panic. I phoned this agency who told me my application was still very much "live" (more comatosed if you ask me). So, I then explained that I was being considered for a similar role with the same company. No worries, he determined it was a different part of the client company and there would be no conflict.

Phew.

Great, great. It's only Tuesday and I've already made seven applications and received the first bite of the week.

But I've had weeks like this before and I'm still writing the ultimate job hunting blog so you'll understand my lack of excitement.
