Progress
- is having a job offer. So I've made progress!
I was phoned on Friday night, right at the end of the day, and offered a position with the company I interviewed with the other day. It's a research and development position with a recruitment company, possibly turning into a position as a recruitment agent later on. So far they've offered me a trial period of two or three weeks where I can go along and observe and do some basic work and figure out if I like it or not (and they can see if they like me, which seems fair). The good thing is it's not a full-on committment, so I can keep on looking around and seeing what's out there.
I've also applied for a position as a Junior Technical Author, which I'm pretty excited about. It means training to write documentation for computer programs and stuff, like users' manuals etc., but it's pretty well paid, and after a little while (couple of years experience) I could be commanding salaries of £35-50k. Also, a lot of well-know authors started out as technical writers or journalists. So I hope to hear back about that this coming week.
Either way, I have something to go on with.
Take care everyone!
