Do we need a new bum thread?
I have ended up with too many work options, question is which to take on.
Applying for jobs is not the way, everything happens for me through reaching out (sorry) to acquaintances, old colleagues etc. Guess it's easier if you've moved around a bit, but making sure you always stay in touch with people and never leave on bad terms.

Ouch.
Yet another contract agency calling about including the CV into my old place of work.. not sure this will go anywhere but should know.
It’ll be far enough away from the previous characters but still full of the old politics.
Not keeping my hopes high so cracking with other roles.

They've still not hired for that role.
They are now saying they don't want 'strategic' people but want someone that has experience of actually administrating.. well the role they're asking is strategic ... but they also want the person to have experience doing both the administration and have legacy administration, architecture etc too.. and to sort out the mess that exits in the legacy environments without any documentation. You can see why they've not filled that role lol.
Still looking, slowly applying.

Over 50 or 40? This is worth a watch to reset how you approach things.
Applied for a position I'm qualified for, however it's via Workday. After putting in the CV the workflow then wants work history added, skills and courses that you can't add because of WD. Painful. Then this morning before 8am.. I get a rejection email. Yep - I got Workday'd.
