Heather's Career Search Update

I haven't mentioned much about my career search lately but I continue to work diligently to find a job in this great country.

A few weeks ago the media was abuzz with the news that Google was going to digitise some of the world's largest libraries, including material from the New York Library, Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford.

It would appear that Google and Oxford have signed an agreement and are moving forward with their plans. I have been energized by a job posting I found yesterday in the London version of Craig's List. They are looking for a Manager of Business Operations, Production and Logistics to lead the conversion of the Oxford library. This position is tailor made for me and I am moving forward with an application.

The commute to Oxford will be a bit brutal but I have already researched my options. I can catch an express bus called The Oxford Tube for a reasonable rate each month. The long bus ride each day will give me plenty of time to catch up on work and stay current on my podcasts ;).

Wish me luck!

The commute is at least 90 minutes each way :(

I will do a test run on the bus trip if I get an interview.

Good luck! The Megabus to Oxford is cheaper at around 2 GBP one way (I think) but you need to advance book online (megabus.com?). Planethalder.
