It's Been A Long Long Time.....

Outstanding job applications - 11; Total job rejections - 7; Interviews conducted - 1; Morale drop - 27%

I did not realise that I had gone so long without a post so I will tear myself away from my Valentines' present (not that interesting unless you like computer games) and will give you a jobs update....

I have applied for four more since my last post; I was swiftly rejected from one of them within hours as expected, because it was slightly outside my previous experience (although a lot of the attributes were comfortably within my skill set). I also had an email from one that I applied for on 20th January, which suggests that I had at least made some sort of shortlist, or at least was worthy of more than a glance....

So, currently out and about are the following;

1. Local Government - Information Specialist - 20/01
2. Central Government - Committee Specialist - 26/01
3. International Charity - Information/Research - 26/01
4. Law Firm - Librarian/Information Specialist - 26/01
5. Business Consultancy - Business Research - 28/01
6. Oil & Gas Co. - Information Consultant - 05/02
7. Multinational - IM Consultant - 05/02
8. Consultancy - Content/Info Manager - 05/02
9. Government Dept - Records Manager - 11/02
10. Business Link - Information Consultant - 13/02
11. NHS - Information Manager - 16/02

I would expect 1 to drop off the radar at the end of next week as I think the closing date was imminent. Had some feedback from the agency re 4 a couple of weeks ago but nothing since. I am up to the letter 'D' on my law firm trawl, so I will continue that today. Nothing new on the boards today so far...

At least the house is fairly clean I suppose....
