So for those that fit into the somewhat unique domain of people that read my random rants and don’t see me at least once a week…I’m looking for work. I’m still not ready to go into details, but the startup I was working on throughout 2008? Well, it didn’t start up, despite some fairly drastic measures from all concerned. It was a costly exercise for all of us…and out of respect for my former colleagues, I’m pretty sure I’m not about to start discussing it any time soon.
Yep. Global economic downturn and all that jazz, and I’m looking for work.
Still it could be worse – there doesn’t seem to be any shortage of IT positions out there and I’m fortunate that I have a reasonably healthy résumé. The biggest disappointment in some respects has been that the two positions I’ve seen that I reckon I’d be perfect for [without considering whether they’d be perfect for me] have both been interstate – one in Melbourne, and one in Brisbane. I’ve considered relocation in times past, but moving away from family and friends just seems a bridge too far after the last few “eventful” years. Ho hum.
I’ll hopefully post further updates as the hunting progresses over the next few weeks. Wish me luck…oh, and if you hear of anything I may be interested in, drop me a line
