Made it safely back to NZ last week, and it took a good 4 days to get over the jetlag, longer than normal.
Now the holiday is over it’s back to hard reality and the need to earn some money to pay for pink wine and dog biscuits.
I had an interview with a previous employer while in the UK for a role I really fancied, however I’ve not heard back from them since so I suspect they’ve offered that to someone else.
Yesterday I also had a second Teams interview with a classy MSP (managed service provider) for an engineering role; it seemed to go fairly well, though my lack of recent MSP experience may count against me – the market is tough at the moment with 100s of candidates applying for each role so employers can hand-pick those ideally suited to their requirements.
The next couple of weeks will be about getting back to self-study and adding some certification to the CV to make myself more saleable.
The heating also broke down, which was an expensive bill we could do without, though thankfully the worst of the Winter chill is over and the engineer we rang was able to come and fix it within a couple of days.
Am now waiting for the Visa bill for all the expenses on the trip – there will be a drum roll when I open that one … still, worth it to catch up with The Oldies again.
