    Plan B gets some serious attention.

    And selected skills learned from Plan B get added to the CV.

    Mine is a Friday, I last signed on the 10th Dec, was told to come back a few days later but got snowed in so could not make it they said my next sign on date was 15th Jan as they were closed during the holiday period!

    Be careful out there if you're driving to work. It's going to be very very cold tonight.

    I soooooooo miss not having one. I was having one of my 'when I move back abroad' daydreams/planning session the other day and arranging 'maid service' was well up in the important things to arrange ASAP.

    I'll be up at 6 a.m. making the tea then hitting the job sites getting my CV in first.

    That is the number one, first-on-every-list, absolutely guaranteed way to become long term unemployed: daytime TV. There is nothing - nothing - worse you could possibly be doing with your time.
    Why would anyone watch daytime tv anyway?

    I think my plan of action will be to update status on linkedin on the 5th (pimps will be too busy catching up on e-mails on the 4th, as most of them have been off since the 18th Dec)

    Re-e-mail all my regular pimps and give them a call.

    and chase the pimp who's supposed to be rearranging this interview for me.

    and chase the irons in fire possibilities that I was contacted direct about.

    I'm not going to start panicking for another 6 months. My industry isn't so bad and I have had calls about stuff prior to xmas that is being lined up for the new year with various companies.

    I just have to give a few market contacts a nudge.

    Not everyone - I understand.

    Starting my Exec MBA 'properly' next week (first in University session) - meet the 'Cohort'.

    It's good to have things under my control rather than the trainee pimps who ring me up.
