Today's efforts...
Oct. 10th, 2002 07:10 pmOK, I never got the phone call from BG that I was promised. I suppose I should have called them to see if they were gonna call em at all like they said but due to general a negative attitude from others towards the company, I never bothered. I may still call them again about it as there seems to be a number of positions going.
kashyfox got the job there and starts on Monday but they are still advertising in the newspaper for the position.
Went into town with Kashy for the "Job Scene Roadshow" where I gave my CV to a few agencies and got info from others. Most didn't seem to offer IT positions as many said that "The bottom's fallen out of the IT job market". So much for hearing stories about people who just switch jobs in IT every few months cos they fancy a change... Guess that's a time of the past.
Afterwards, went about town with Kashy, played Counterstrike and Soldier of Fortune 2 at a computer shop that also has 30terminals for multiplayer gaming. I had never even heard of the place before yet Kashy's who's been back in the area for 6 days had come across it... :P Had a pizza sub from Subway and then got the train home. That's about it.
Feel like I could have possibly done more with my day but I guess I was just glad to have a random day off :). There's at least one job in today's job paper worth going for and a few leads from the job fair so I'm off to follow those up.
PS. Must remember to buy myself some AAA batteries for my mouse...
