Sorry for the lack of updates the last few days but I have been busy job hunting, so far so good. Tomorrow morning I will be sending my CV off to a few company’s along with some extra’s they have asked for, like list’s of websites I have worked on and what my role was etc etc…

I am hoping this time I will a job, if not at least some good feedback. Former company’s I have applied for and gotten interviews I haven’t been that impressed with either 1. The interviewer, or 2. The bloody weather.

The last interview I went to had to be on a day it snowed, so I went to get the train to get to the interview and ended up with delay after delay. I got there in the end and I don’t think they were to pleased even with the weather. Then I was told to create a design for one of there clients, I was given certain instructions and completed the task and sent it off. I even got the receipt back saying it had been received. Then 2 - 3 weeks later get the job agency on the phone asking why I hadn’t sent the design to them. Wasn’t very impressed, sent it again and didn’t even get a peep out of them.

All I am asking for this time is either a job or some feedback, letting me know why I didn’t get the job, what I need to improve on etc. Is that so much to ask?

OK rant over, hopefully in the next day or two you will be seeing some screenshot’s of some upcoming e107 themes I will be releasing. If all goes well, if I don’t make a post I might be busy with interviews. *Fingers Crossed*

Feel free to share you job interview stories in comment section of this post.

if you visited this blog before you might just notice the new design that has just been uploaded and activated. This new design was designed by James of Eat Fruit Please, if you need a designer for anything I can safely say James is your man. I have brought several designs of him and each time it has been a pleasure doing business with him.

Once I saw this design in a thread at TalkFreelance I immediately wanted it, the reason I wanted it as I wanted it to be the base of a new beginning for me as a blogger. Not only that, I wanted to give the link to this blog to potential employers as my job hunt continues. Over the next few days I will be adding pages to this blog, these pages will be mainly for the purpose of helping me get a job. A services page will also be written outlining what I can currently offer and at what price.

Also as it gets closer and closer to December I will have an announcement or two about a project I have been working on for about 3-4 months. All the work involved in the project isn’t quite finished but I have my fingers crossed it will all be done ready for the start of December. A few things I can say is that is for e107  and it will hopefully be a nice little present to everyone who uses and contributes to e107.

Tomorrow is also Children in Need here in the UK. This means I will be offering my services tomorrow for as many people as I can and ALL money raised will be sent into Children in need once all work has been complete and money received via Paypal. Work will be done as fast as I can but if demand is high it may take a few more days to complete. I want to complete all requests, so as much money can be raised as possible. This is also a good way for me to get more work in my portfolio for this fresh start. More information will be posted tomorrow here and on TalkFreelance.

I think that just about wraps this extra long blog post up. Feel free to let me know what you think of the new design via the contact form or comment form.

I am pleased to tell you that a new version of this blog will be coming soon. Quite a few new features will appear too, like a aggregator menu for any blogs I think readers of this blog will like.

Another feature that will also be finally making an appearance is comments. I left it out last time I updated this site as I didn’t think anyone would use it. But as it has been requested quite a few times I though i’d get it up and running.

This new update will also make this site alot more about the services I offer, it will include posts about promotions, previews of projects I am working on, and a updated portfolio.

I look forward to getting this site updated and alot more professional.
