Living in London

Get a job, she said! That is your primary task. Since last September, I have spent 20 - 30 hours a week networking and looking for a job.

Today I am proud to announce that I can mark the task complete. On Tuesday April 19 I will begin an interim position as the Head of Corporate Infrastructure Management with a large Civil Service employer. It promises to be a very challenging job as the organisation is undergoing a significant transformation over the next few years and I will get to help drive that change.

I also will have the opportunity to see a vast amount of England as I work in various cities throughout the country. I will spend a good amount of my time in the northwest of England but will travel to many other cities as well.

The position also feeds into my long term goal of becoming a turnaround specialist and someone who can quickly get up to speed in a challenging situation, helping organisations to move ahead.

Stay tuned for further reports from the road.
