Contracting... the begining of a new era for Nenya Web Solutions

My apologies for not blogging lately.

Times have been hectic with submitting my site for final exams etc. I'm pleased to say that both the Home Learning College and the ACITP (Association of Certified IT Professionals) liked my website and gave it a Distinction for Level 3 web design.

Now, I'm ploughing my way through CIW foundations and starting a contract at the same time.

I spotted this lovely opportunity on one of the IT recruitment web sites, read the job spec and thought I pretty much ticked the boxes. A quick phone call and on-line submission of CV and covering letter and I have an interview which took place yesterday morning.

I haven't had much experience of interviews over the past 15 years as I've worked for the same employer for all those years.

I managed to keep my nerves under control and was well prepared when I went in and came out feeling I'd given a good account of myself and whatever happens next would be out of my control. I didn't expect to hear anything for the rest of the day as there were other candidates being interviewed in the afternoon.

When the phone rang and it was the recruitment agent on the line, I had my diary ready in the hope of a second interview date, but it was not to be... because I was being offered the job. Talk about a jaw dropping moment. It takes a lot to render me speechless but I was lost for words.
I haven't signed anything yet and am waiting for the paperwork to arrive for my final approval but I think I'm back in the game again at last.

IT training, manual production and e-learning content development and deployment- just my cup of tea.

The only little cloud on my horizon is that this is the very last term my youngest is at primary school and I'd hoped to start work again in the autumn. I wanted to be there for his last sports day and prize day. I may have to negotiate time out to attend these little milestones.

I will try to keep this blog a little more up to date than it has been of late but that will require some monumental time management on my part :-)

In the meantime, I'd better crack on with learning how CGI scripting works!
Oh joy!
