This was meant to be posted last Wednesday, but didn't work.

Well I was offered the recruitment agency job, and I turned it down. I would have been doing the same as I am currently doing, but with some extra sales type duties, which i do NOT enjoy. And no improvement on my current salary.

I have also been for an interview at an it/telecomsfirm, which I think went okay. Not as well as the recruitment agency, but pretty well. They are offering more money, just, and it would be a lot more variety and a bit more like a PA role. I would also only need to take 1 train to get there, which helps cut my costs. They are a bigger firm, but still privately owned, with office on 3 continents and a few hundred staff. I just need to wait until next week to hear if they want to see me again.

So far I have had calls from around 8 firms / agencies asking if I am still looking for work. I have not applied for any of these roles and I am only registered with with 1 of the agencies, all I have done is reactivate my CV on the Monster website. Most of the roles are too far away, or do not appeal to me so I have not taken them any further. Of the 3 I have been interested in I have interviewed for 2 and been rejected for 1 as I was not prepared to buy a car. And have been offered 1 of the 2 I have interviewed for.

I may kick myself a few months down the line if I don't get any more interest or offers, but I have to think about what is best for the future and not just jump into the 1st available job just because it seems like it is more secure. Last timeI moved for no real reason I ended up selling advertising in a commercial fishing magazine! Not the best move I have ever made.
