Tick Tock Tick Tock

A watched pot never boils; so would it seem that a watched inbox never fills (with anything other than spam anyway).

Five weeks ago I was given the news that my job was in jeopardy and a mere seven days later I was given the proverbial boot.  

I hit the ground running, or so it felt, and got two interviews under my belt in quick succession.  However, as an old hand at being jobless, I knew to keep on plugging away at the applications.  The joys of LinkedIn and recruitment companies online have made the whole process so much easier.  It doesn't stop it being a long process though.  And more often than not the first thing to arrive, after a confirmation of your application, is a "thanks but no thanks".

Computer Says "No"

I was discussing this with someone the other day and I do take these with a pinch of salt nowadays and am actually mildly surprised when I receive said email - as I have gotten used to not receiving anything past the "we have received your application, if you do not hear from us within blah blah blah"

Anyhow, we are about to complete my fourth week of redundancy and I have sent off another twenty or so applications.  I have an interview this week for some temp work; fingers crossed....
