So.. a week of job hunting has finished, man time flies. Marie’s had a pretty good run, turning down one recruitment offer today because it’s really not what she wants to do, and getting a third interview with the job that she does want - much awesome.

My week had been really quiet till yesterday, when I got a call from a recruiter wanting to put my CV forward for a job with what could be described as a “new media” company here. I interviewed with them today, and it was really cool, definitely seemed like a good place to work and good things to work on, which would provide the challenge and cool environment that I want. The interview went pretty well I thought, and I managed to answer all his questions (including what one essential difference between HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 was - who knows that?!), and I came out feeling great.

Lunch consisted of a pint of amstel and fish and chips I waited till Marie finished her last interview this afternoon and we headed back to L’s together. I’m still loving the public transport here, being able to get places is fabulous.

Then… I got a phonecall at about 5:40pm from the recruiter - they liked me apparently So now I have a second interview next Thursday at 3pm.. no idea what I’m going to do till then, probably rinse out my unlimited travel train pass, and go see things, whilst still applying for other jobs that I see come up.

Best thing ever however… rss feeds from job sites.. you can set up a search for jobs that you like, and instead of having them emailled to you (pain), or checking the site daily (pain), you just hurl the rss feed url into your favourite reader (even http://www.google.com/reader is great), and check it daily for new listings. Much better than checking websites. I also have the gumtree accomodation listings fed via rss, it’s great.

Right.. rants over, bbq at the flat tonight with friends, Hayden Smart and Michael Reynolds are coming over, and it’ll be great to catch up with these people. It’s been awesome staying here, and catching up with Leighton and Cam Mouat.. missed these guys heaps, more than I realised. (cue cutting )
