There are still a few more sessions next week but the vast majority will be completed by Friday. Today was the first dayContinue reading “Wednesday 26th August”

Tuesday 25th August
I struggled to wake up this morning. We had talked about getting up early and taking Bonnie up to Mote Park but no one got up. I had two sessions of training today. One was on Bullhorn and the other was on our different products. Inbetween training I sent off some LinkedIn messages and hadContinue reading “Tuesday 25th August”
Monday 24th August
This is the first time in almost a week that I have written my blog from a laptop as while I was at Lana’s I didn’t have Dulcie’s laptop with me. I was able to keep up my run of consecutive days of blogging by using my mobile but it didn’t feel the same andContinue reading “Monday 24th August”
Sunday 23rd August
My back was better today but still not great; the walk yesterday definitely helped. I had a little lie in this morning and then met up with Anna. Lana came with me too. Originally we were supposed to meet Chris and John too but they had to cancel. We sat outside a pub on NorthcoteContinue reading “Sunday 23rd August”
Saturday 22nd August
My back was a bit better this morning but still not great. Last night Nick booked a physio for me. He came round just after 11am. He was a friendly guy, he gave me a couple of exercises and alleviated some of the pain. He instructed me to keep moving but to stay away fromContinue reading “Saturday 22nd August”
Friday 21st August
I’ve finished my first week in the new job. It’s been great. Everyone is very welcoming and I’m looking forward to building out my Infrastructure space. I’m particularly impressed by the level of the junior members on the team. They are all hosting meetups/roundtables and seem “on it”. Its also nice to have bosses thatContinue reading “Friday 21st August”
Thursday 20th August
I went into the office for the first time today and met Callum – really nice guy who I’m looking forward to working with. Today was also my first day back at tag. We lost heavily but it was good to have a run around even though my back hurt. Currently in the pub, enjoyingContinue reading “Thursday 20th August”
Wednesday 19th August
I’m currently laying on Lana’s bed in Battersea. I had more training this morning on client calls and references. For the majority of the afternoon I have been completing the to-do list that was set yesterday (sorting logins etc). I haven’t yet got access to the CRM unfortunately – I’m looking forward to having aContinue reading “Wednesday 19th August”
Tuesday 18th August
I’ve just finished my second day in the new role; we covered how to use the CRM, best practice for candidate calls and admin for other software/functions. I don’t feel as tired as I did yesterday thankfully. Tonight my mum and I are going to go up and stay the night at Lana’s. I willContinue reading “Tuesday 18th August”
Monday 17th August (part 2)
I’ve just finished my first day in the new job – it’s amazing how tired I feel. I guess not working for over four months and then suddenly doing 9am-5:30pm is a shock to the system! The day started with the founder giving us an overview of the business. It was good to hear aboutContinue reading “Monday 17th August (part 2)”
