It’s been a long and frustrating year, and I’ve reported previously that I was resisting the temptation to turn this into a “jobhunters frustrations” blog (although it’s been a temptation at times), but today after nearly a year out of work I started my a new job in the City of London.Over the past year I have applied for roles as far afield as Edinburgh, Manchester, Andover, Leicester, Dubai and Doha, and for industries as diverse as the Metropolitan Police and the 2012 Olympic Authority.
That I have landed a role in an industry that’s not too far out of my comfort zone, and within daily commuting distance is a great relief.
The new role is located between the Tower of London and the Monument, about three hundred yards from where I worked when we first moved ‘down south’ in the mid nineteen eighties.
The area has changed though, back in the eighties the banks were king; now the former bank buildings are host to bars, department stores and supermarkets.
I’ve had to resurrect Mallorn as a limited company, so the website at mallorn.net has become a more corporate site, while the ‘scribblings from the hard shoulder of the information superhighway’ that formerly occupied the mallorn.net website have been moved here to Tolfalas.
Glad to hear your back in the City, I loved working in that part of the world.
