The week has ended on a high note. Mark re-took his driving test today and passed with 7 minors, but for now he will be staying on 2 wheels as he can afford to run his Suzuki Burgman 400cc scooter but doubts that he’ll be able to finance a car.
With just 4 days under my belt searching out possible jobs, I have to say that on balance it’s been a good week. The old perennials are still kicking around, by that I mean Egg, Eon & Capital One -- all 3 companies seem to be constantly advertising for Business Analysts but never get in contact, supply feedback or invite to interview and one gets the impression that they probably aren’t worth pursuing for long term employment prospects. However, my week has ended with recruitment agencies again sticking my CV into these organisations. On top of that it’s also gone out to a further 3 companies who aren’t known for frequently advertising positions and who use single or shortlisted "preferred supplier" agencies -- something that is encouraging for applicants in my position.
So I end the week knowing that my CV has gone out to 6 potential employees and that I’ve spoken to nearly double that number of recruitment agencies, some I’ve been in contact with before while others are for the first time. The weather forecast is promising better conditions than the cloud and rain we’ve endured since returning from Lanzarote so it might just be possible to get the bike out and go for a ride on Sunday. If not, there’s always the MotoGP from the Saxonring to look forward to. Before that, on Saturday Dad is off to the Helen Ley rest home which specialises in MS sufferers for a week of respite, both for him and Mother who is staying home for a long overdue break (as his carer).
