So my search for a new full time job goes on. I've called lots of the head hunter types in the City of London but it seems clear that that the City is not recruiting for ANYTHING. Time to widen the net.

One ray of sunshine are the sterling efforts of Barrie Evans. He's helping me to rewrite my CV - and its looking a lot better.

The tricky thing is deciding what to do. I am now forty going on forty-one. I run a risk (allbeit small) of being unemployable because of my age. The City is a young mans world. Not a forty-something decent-enough sales guy. I'll carry this on later.
