Gimmee A Job!

It has been about 3 years since I last had to apply for a job.

Back then, I had another job at the time and was only looking half-heartedly. Kim and I had decided we would move to Japan, and I was casually trawling the web late one night at work when I read some thread on the STA Travel forum about a company called Interac. From the moment I emailed them, to them calling me, Kim and I attending an interview and hearing confirmation that we had got the job, all took less than a week. It was painless.

Unlike this time around.

Of course there are advantages to being unemployed - you can spend time making your resume look pretty (hint: forward that link to anyone you think might want to give me a job!), look for apartments, move into apartments (signed the lease and got the keys today, yay!) and begin looking to buy a car. I can't imagine doing all that stuff with full time commitments. But that stuff is nearly over.

So somebody, help me out here! Yes, I could branch out on my own and do some freelance projects. But that would mean learning about tax and BAS statements and while it is an option maybe further down the track, right now I am looking for a bit of stability. We are looking to buy a house and a guaranteed regular income sure makes getting a loan a helluva lot easier.

So as I was saying, if you know of anyone who has work in the Melbourne area for an aspiring web designer/developer, point them to my resume and if anything comes of it I'll buy you a beer.

No really, I will. And none of that crap Victoria Bitter stuff, I'll even make it of the posh tasty Belgian variety. Whatever you like.
