On the move – I’m back on the market

Yes, alas its very true. Owing to the current economic situation I am on the hunt for a new position after a long time spent with my current employer. November the 4th shall be my last day and end my tenure as IT manager for a great company. For the past month I’ve been submitting forms, CV’s and running through all sorts of hoops the recruitment agencies have in place while doing my final handover. Alas that magic position has thus far eluded me. I could write numerous posts on just the experiences I’ve had with agencies, some good, some just jaw dropping, but I won’t. Everyone has to do it, everyone knows how good or bad it can get.

So I am looking for a new home. When I say new home, I really do mean a new home! Work is like a glove. You either fit or you don’t. I like to fit into a place where I can contribute and help achieve, but also to learn. No matter who you are or what position you hold, there is always something or someone you can learn from (Especially true in IT). Work after all, is a two way street. You only get back what you put in. I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with some of the best people in many sectors over the years. I managed a few of them, they have managed me, but we’ve always been working together to achieve something we are passionate about & something great. Sure there have been highs and lows at times, but thats part of the process and I would never change any moment over the past few years.

Anyhow, if you have a position and you think I would be the glove that would fit your hand, do let me know, I’m very approachable and will be very happy to talk about any opportunity that may arise, if I am not the one well then I can tell you rather quickly. But I may know someone else who is ideal for you. Feel free to check me out on Linked  In & I can of course provide first rate references. I posses too many skills to go into in a blog post, but my CV is only a few clicks and a send button away, so do reach out and contact me.

Finally, at a time like this, I have to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped me in my search. When my heads been wreaked by another bad recruiter experience, they have been a source of unmeasurable help and support. With a bit of time I’ll find my new hand and I will be treating those to something more than a pint or a few Yorkie bars. You know who you are and how you have helped. THANK YOU!!!!
