Finally - new job
« on: 12 January 2008, 19:10:16 »
Before Christmas I went for an interview with a company nearby for a Senior IT Analyst role. Last week, I was asked back for a second interview and a techincal examination.

Following this, I had a call on Wednesday, offering me the job :)

It's reasonably local, lovely location, and really nice people. 3 month probationary period as with almost any job, but I get a performance related pay review at the end of that period.

In terms of salary, it's a very significant increase indeed, so I'm happy on that front.

And the icing on the cake - it's a 9 - 5 job, so all my weekends will now be free.

I've had the verbal offer, which I have provisionally accepted. Hopefully review and sign a bit of paperwork on monday, and looks like I'll be giving notice to my current employer on Monday afternoon  :y

I can't wait to get back into a normal routine again, my bodyclock is completely ruined doing such strange shift work...

The job is local to MY home, not Maria's...
