I have my first client interview today. This will be where my supposed expertise in the Energy sector will be tested. I have a feeling that my Politics degree will be most at the fore; the ability to sound like I know what I am talking about when really I'm crapping on like a dunce. I am being a little harsh to myself though - I do have some idea ( Read more... )

The French have rejected the European Constitution. I have to say that I am quite surprised by this. Well it had actually looked likely for the past few weeks, but if you had told me a year ago that they would reject it, I would not have believed it. I mean the French can be awkward bastards, but they normally leave it to Britain or one of the ( Read more... )

I got the job! Yes people, I am now an employed person (well once I sign the contract I am). Am very happy about it. Means that I have a steady income, I can find a place in London and get back to somewhere that has action. I mean Marlow is lovely and all that, but it is too quiet for me.

Have to admit that I am quite tense tonight. I applied for a job about a month ago and I have now had 1 telephone interview, 3 face-to-face interviews and done a maths test, a case study and a set of logic problems. Anyway, I find out whether or not I have got the job tomorrow. These people haven't actually let things drag that much, it has just ( Read more... )

As usual, I am running behind updating this thing. I really must follow Harley's example and carry a notepad everywhere. Every interesting thought I have always seems to hit me at 2 in the morning or when I am trawling across London with no access to a computer ( Read more... )

I nearly forgot, it is election day over here.Am going to stay up all night to watch the results.British elections are a much bigger affair as there are 659 constituencies up for grabs. I'm predicting a Labour win and Blair returned with a majority of 95. I hope he wins as I just can't stand the Conservative Leader Michael Howard and the Liberal ( Read more... )

It's been an eventful week. Last Friday I got a call to invite me for an interview in Oxford yesterday. Oxford is about an hour on the train from London, but it is a very attractive place and somewhere I could move to. The first interview went well and fingers crossed for getting to the second round. I have to say that everything went right and I ( Read more... )

My quest for a new job goes on. Am applying for an average of 15 a week, so hopefully I can get an interview at some point soon. Am also looking for a temp job to tide me over, so have a trial for a wine bar job on Friday night. It's been a few years since I was pulling pints - roughly 8 - but I guess that it's a skill that never leaves you. The ( Read more... )
