Lucky breaks and perfect timing

It’s not always about ability but having the right connections and walking onto the stage on time.
I think that my current position owes a lot to timing. A year ago, I shared that long road trip with the former head of the area. That meant a lead position to getting my old job. Now, there were some departures that opened up a path to a more senior position. I was in the department, able to express my preferences. So, I’m here. It’s a good role and one that sets me up for better things later on.
As with most things, timing enhances ability and inter-personal know-how.

Finding the Right Fit

 

I’ve learnt that work is a lot about ticking the right boxes. Okay, some boxes can only be half checked, but you know which ones are non-negotiable and which are more flexible.

During my search for a new place of employ, I’ve realized that the very soul of the company I work for is tainted. Corrupt. Rotten.

 

I had some thoughts on what I’d like in a company. I found a site that tries to match my own set with those willing to share their profile. Check it out here. Most useful in shaping the job search.
