Cautiously optimistic… waiting for the anvil to drop :)

Posted on February 11, 2013 By admin

The news is … good? That can’t be right. I’ve had a couple of face-to-face interviews and I have some more lined up. I’ve had my first official driving lesson and that went surprisingly well. We’re getting the upstairs floor fixed and re-carpeted soon. Things are going well. Why am I waiting for something bad to happen???

Testing the waters, swiftly followed by drowning.

Posted on January 31, 2013 By admin

I already mentioned that my 9 years at the EBI are coming to a close this year. I’ve been updating my CV and thinking about what I want to do when i grow up. To test the waters last night, I posted my CV on Monster and pinged a few job offers. I did not expect what happened next.

My phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Between 7:15 and 12:30, I received calls from 16 recruiters.

O.o

Damn!

Polishing off the old CV

Posted on January 25, 2006 By admin

I'm applying to a part-time job as a technical copy writer for a biotech firm here in Cambridge. It's 5-10 hours a week, and it might give us some more leeway in trying to get the capital we need for a down payment on a mortgage. In that vein, I have updated my resume. You can see it here if you're curious: http://www.flubu.com/resume/rc-cv-2006-en.pdf

It ain't looking too shabby, if I do say so myself :)

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
