Almost six months since my last
post. All I can say in my defence is that the twelve-hour days
(including the three and a half spent driving to and from work) and the
tough IT security network at work (which bans all blogs) has certainly
had an effect....
Since my last post in November I have received praise for my information management initiatives; as well as the shared drive clean-up and restructure (almost complete), I have set up and implemented a centralised archiving folder structure, the aim being to capture all business-critical information for the department in a single area (traditionally this has been done within each department, so trying to track down documents used to result in having to ask six different people and then search through five different folders on the shared drive). Our project analyst has moved on to a different part of the business so we have had to train a new starter from scratch who, like me, had no knowledge of the business....
The job is good, the people are great, the commute is a nightmare. £320 of my monthly salary goes on petrol. A similar job in the City would be £5,000 more a year at least. So I am on the hunt for something either local or London-based once again. The problem I am finding, once again, is that although I have a lot of good cross-sector experience I don't have enough specialism in a particular area....
However, I do have three applications out in the fold, all in different sectors. I should hear from them all in the next two weeks, fingers crossed....
