Quite a bit has been going on in the last few weeks, so I think it's time for an update.
I was made redundant from Cardiff University in June, which was a real shame as I loved that job. However, it was the kick in the arse I really needed to get myself out of that city as there was nothing keeping me there apart from that job. So, I've been spending the last couple of weeks living down in West Wales and jobhunting in London: 15 or so applications and 2-3 interviews per week is NOT fun, believe me!
Anyway, I was down in the capital yesterday for a few interviews, the first of which was for a more senior IT role in Camden Council, the job that I really, really wanted after first applying for it a couple of months ago. Anyway, on the train to my third interview the IT manager from the council rang me to let me know that they had chosen me - victory!!!
So, as soon as the paperwork is sorted I'll be heading down to London after having found somewhere suitable to live. I'm really looking forward to this now; not only is it a really nice job in a good area but unlike Cardiff, I already have a number of good friends down there and there isn't going to be any shortage of things to do in an evening. Talk about silver linings...!
