Congrats, retail looks like really hard work!

[BrowneIssue]

... I'm so happy!!

Big deal I hear you all shout, well it's been 5 years since I worked in IT per se, I've been running my own shop in that time; although we did have a full e-commerce presence. Couple this with the fact I'm an old biffer at 42 and you can see why I'm pleased.

Wish me luck I could be starting a week on monday

Congratulations and good luck!

Umm, let me guess. Does it begin with an C or an F... and end in ontracting or reelance?

might do

although having been a contractor for 10 years I'm no stranger to it, but at this stage first things first, I plan to see over the next year or so what type of role I'd like to pursue.

Oh and at 42 you're still a kid!

I think I know where I want to go with my career, we'll have to see if this a step in the right direction.

Congrats mate.

So. what type of shop was it and what do you do in IT?

Your id does sound familiar, so welcome back.

Cheers Clippy,

We had a mountain bike shop; also did casual clothing such as Animal, Duffs, Alpinestars and snowboard\ski technical stuff.

If you'd asked me what I did in IT before I left; I would have said infrastructure design (Microsoft) and enterprise systems management, my title was Technical Architect (contract), in fact this is my second only permie job, my first being when I left college.

This role however is titled Systems Support and I'll be supporting\developing internet\intranet based applications. In the interview a project implementing a new CRM system with middleware (BizTalk) was spoken about which sounded quite interesting.

I think I know where I want to go with my career, we'll have to see if this a step in the right direction.

I know it difficult to tell the girls from the guys on here, but really I thought the girl on mine might have been a hint.

But then again a femail avatar is not always true! Wendy change that avatar.

Congrats by the way.

You are MarillionFan, and I claim my 5 badly painted Thai figurines.
