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 host bars, department stores and supermarkets.
Glad to hear your back in the City, I loved working in that part of the world.
