A Funnelweb World

I’m now officially between jobs and while in one sense I’m a little anxious about entering unfamiliar territory, its also exciting as I have no idea what the future will bring. I’m just going to go with the flow.

And “flowing” it is, as there seem to be lots of good online programme management roles around at the moment and I’m getting a fair bit of interest from agencies in my cv. All really encouraging.

In the past week, I’ve also had several requests for interviews and had the confidence to turn down quite a few, either because they were with organisations I couldn’t see myself working for, or because the location or role wasn’t right.

And I had my first employer interview on Friday. I can only assume it went well because the agency phoned me about my availability for a second one before I’d even got home from it. It’s great location and mind boggling money but not sure if the role is big enough. Need to understand more about it at second interview later this week. Again, encouraging though.

I also found out that I had been shortlisted for a really interesting role in digital media. Fingers crossed for an interview as I reviewed the job spec and have done / can do everything listed on it. But does that make the role not big enough - maybe. It would be something I’d go for, though, as it sounds like loads and loads of work and responsibility to stop me from getting bored, and there are new technologies to get my head around.

Then yesterday I saw “the big role” advertised. A couple of things I might not have done before but feel confident I could do, and for an organisation I’d love to work for, great location too. Tomorrow I’ll be sending off my cv for it and will wait and see.

Things seem to be happening day by day, and its only been a week since I seriously started looking. I just hope it continues.

And while I’m job hunting, I’m also going to develop my skills and use the time to catch up with friends.

This week I’m going to start building the mobile version of London For Free, having sketched out some wireframes for it in Starbucks yesterday. (Yes Gill, I know, I know but I can’t change too much at once).

And I’m also going to continue reading about RIAs and mash ups and working my way through “Here comes everybody”.

But most important of all, I’m going to hold my nerve and try and wait for the right role to come along. I know it will - yep, just got to be patient.
