Posts from — October 2008

I’m approaching my last week at the firm and up to my neck completing and polishing documentation on the various systems and technologies at play here, it serves as a pretty good reminder as to how much things have changed since I arrived four years ago.

Back then, the ideas of unified messaging and comms were just ‘nice to haves’, possible enhancements to what we had (and were at the time satisfied by) but by no means vital.

Today, the prospect of moving on to an org without these tools is like some kind of scheduled amputation - it’s safe to say I’m going to miss it.

As I’m currently working my notice period in one role in anticipation of beginning another I’ve been in quite a lot of contact with job agencies of late. It’s the first time since I’ve spoken with any for about four years and the recruitment approach for some seems to have changed considerably.

At my current firm I’ve resisted the use of Social Networks, the idea of them makes me cringe on many levels (excluding Twitter, that’s a bit different) so it was interesting to hear from some firms about the use of sites such as LinkedIn to find and research candidates.

So, I’ve taken the leap and signed up, if you get spam from me apologies in advance!

Another attempt to squeeze posting into my working day. I’ll be giving Blogo a try this week, expect posts of some sort.
