Hey all,
so like a lot of people currently I’m looking for a new job myself due to progression rather than redundancy however the amount of work my current place is doing it might as well be. So I had some more interviews and well heres what they said:

Further to your interview for the role at company, the intial feedback is that they felt the interview went very well but that your experience may be too much for the role. I think they would be worried your experience would be too vast and that you would potentially get bored in the role.

Now that begs the question, why dont companys want people who are experienced and passionate about what they do. I have had this problem with a few companies now and its getting rediculous really. I also had an interview at a datacentre of an hosting ISP which went well and he said I was top of his list however he had to offer it to a guy that was up for redundancy before he could offer it me. So thats all right and fair enough, but upon looking on monster I found the job had been relisted yesterday. A further email to him and I’m waiting on that.

So recently there has been a lot of advertising for business startups on the radio, from the enterprise shows, a link in with business link from what I can see. It got me wondering, would starting up on my own be a feasable option? I put myself in for a contract supporting a school in Leeds however they have still to get back to me regarding that. As such I’m unsure what will happen there, if i had that contract it would take one day a week giving me a decent income and I could pursue other work to fulfill the rest of the week and use it as a starting block for building a business up. I think it’s an interesting concept. However, the dilema I’m having is how much it will cost in startup capital as what I have currently is quite small and my credit score is taking a nose dive as its getting more expensive and a lot harder to cope with bills and things as they are going.

I did a bit of research into this and from what I can see, i can set up as a contractor with pretty minimal expense. I found a company I can run my purchasing through giving me a 28 day buffer for payments meaning I can purchase install and invoice the company meaning I am able to install larger items to customers.

So what should I do, give me a sign. Continue working for companies and getting frustrated at the lack of investment in IT and seeing things done in what I consider to be a pretty illogical fashion. So stay tuned and lets see what I can do.
