The one Brit across the table smiled,...Read this update September 13, 2005A case study in what NOT to do on a job searchI got up and rushed out to Alexandria, to the Mascot station to seek out my prospective meeting with da Chef. My confidence levels sank, having not cooked as much as I used to in recent months. Selling yourself is...Read this update September 12, 2005Starting againI can sympathize with people having to find jobs when there is a big lack of them. It's not easy. So I left home to try different things, and perhaps practice following jobs that give me satisfaction, a little joy....Read this update September 06, 2005My way outI saw Heather off on Sunday night.
