So I've been sitting on my arse now for 9 days and the glory of paid procrastination is wearing thin.
What's funny is that I'm nearing my first anniversary of moving down to London and I'm again about to start a new job. Changing job when arriving in London was a necessity, this change is more an opportunity, the first real chance of forwarding my CV rather than using past job titles to maintain employment.
When I say an opportunity I mean it, having worked my rear end of since moving down I was awarded an educational to South Africa with a large well known travel company. While I was there I got talking to one of the Sales Executives and conversation turned towards the fact that being an expert at loud, confident bullshitting I'd be perfect for the role. It was a light conversation with no intent, I certainly wasn't sounding out any potential vacancies, I was just, y'know, shooting the breeze. Anyway when I got back said Sales exec gave me a call and asked me if I was interested in the job, I wold have been stupid not to say yes, especially as I promised my first job in London was always going to be a stepping stone.
So here I am, on the cusp of starting my second job in one year, albeit a job with much more responsibility and potential, one that should open up previously closed doors.
Vive La London eh?
