Project Job Search - October 2009

I got a call!

October 29th 2009 10:28
I've been really actively job searching lately. I've applied for absolutely everything I think I can do to get back into IT, and after many rejection emails, I've finally got a call.

This was from a recruitment company hiring on behalf of the actual organisation. Asked all the standard questions, and enquired about the move from IT to Travel and whether I am confident to be able to do the job again.

One concern he had for me, is that his client will be looking at my resume, and notice that I have been out of the field for 1.5 years and possibly out of touch making me less appealing as a candidate as the others who are still currently in the same industry.


However, he is going to try and put me forward for an interview with the hiring manager, then it's up to me to make an impression.

To be honest I am extremely nervous. It has indeed been a year and a half since I have been in a corporate environment, and while travel agency is still a "Professional" job - I use completely different manners and language to my colleagues and clients than in corporate.

Will get another call tomorrow to arrange the interview.
Update you soon.

Job Search in Full Swing

October 12th 2009 10:45
Although the news have been saying that the job market really isn't going too great at the moment, there really has been a lot more vacancies on the online search engins than say... 3 months ago.

My own job search in now in full swing, as I have made the final decision to end my travel agent career as soon as possible. In the past hour I have applied for 5 jobs that were posted only today, so the prospect is looking good.

The problem I think, is still in the trade sectors. Corporate jobs are on the increase but it didn't look like there were a lot of trade and labour work on offer.


Or maybe I just haven't 'searched' it properly.

Well, wish my luck
