On Friday morning I got a call from a recruitment company, on behalf of a competitor based in Nottingham, asking me if I wanted to work for them. The recruiter already had my CV from a year ago, when a similar position came up. I guess that counts as being head hunted, I guess?
It is actually the same job title from before, though it seems they've finally sorted out their job description, which is naturally good. It was a very interesting surprise to get that call, at the minute I thought I was fairly okay with where I am and hadn't really considered moving. But I was wrong, I am definitely not happy where I am and it's not where I want to be at all. I have I admit been kidding myself due to the poor economic situation we're currently in, I could be doing so much better and I seem to have put my aspirations to one side and riding it out with this job - which in some ways is smart, but it's definitely starting to wear me down.
Now, this job... it'd require moving to Nottingham, which I'd be absolutely fine with, there's nothing keeping me here. Heck then I'd be closer to London, but not too close. The job would mean travelling, not sure where exactly but it states 70% travel. They are a vendor of THE software that is industry standard, and they also I believe sell scanner systems? not quite sure on that one.
It would mean leaving the airborne world behind, as these guys are more into the mobile mapping and mining scanning world. They do have airborne on their list of what they do but it's at the bottom and doesn't seem to be prime area of business for them, though it is a massive growth area right now so I imagine with my experience in the ALS sector I could actually come in and help them build their ALS business... but I can see some massive hurdles with that, lets not get carried away.
Either way, I'll be doing a 'map' of my current role and see how I really feel about all that I do, and I certainly do a lot, it's weather or not there's a future where I am or not which will be the decider.
My mind feels skittish and knotted up right now; not really due to this, mostly something else. I need to shower and walk for a bit, I think, hopefully clear the mind... and then think about this and other things more clearly.
