The past three days have been absolutely fantastic... weatherwise... its incredible how the weather can lift your spirits but I'm fairly sure thats only because we've also experienced less than lovely weather... Having wandered out today I came across quite a few people who clearly thought they were in Hawaii or Rio or on some beach in Spain... it was nice weather but it was certainly not "Let's get naked" weather...
I was due to meet a fellow jobseeking mate to talk a little about Lon-Doers and about our situations etc... but he had to re-schedule ... luckily for me I'd already left the house before I got his SMS and only received it once I was at Baker Street... Lucky you may ask yourself? Why of course... it got me out of the flat and out in the glorious weather... knowing that I didn't have any firm times to meet I decided to walk back to Old Street from Baker Street via Angel... was a very easy walk of approximately 30-45 minutes... good time to think to yourself while getting exercise and air.. (was going to say Fresh air but thats not necessarily the case)...
Once I got home I got a phone call from a recruiter who was looking for someone for a sports betting company... it sounded like an interesting role and as it was to do with sports its obviously interesting too... we decided to talk more tomorrow ... definitely not the first one who has called and probably won't be the last... I've received quite a few phone calls but having my CV out on at least literally 30 different recruitment sites etc you'd hope to get a few every now and then... some are basic "Swedish Telemarketer jobs" but most of them are Sales jobs of some kind...I think that the ability to sell or understanding the role of Sales in any company is absolutely CRITICAL and thus it is a role I wouldn't say no to if the product was right, the company was in an interesting industry and there was potential for the company to grow... anyway... there's always a few leads to run with.. always.. which is nice... keeps you busy during your 8-5 working day...
Wanted to share this article with you... about a store in New York, a FREE STORE:..click here to read about it... basically everything in the store is free.. you walk in and you have to go to the cashier and formally purchase it but its FREE... all you have to do is explain why you need it... quite an interesting concept... as it is a piece of art I'm sure they will compile all the answers and make something interesting out of it.. but it really is "the right time" for such a stunt...
Also came across this... As London is one of the most touristed cities in the world and as a city that people generally come back to time and time again for shopping, shows, musicians, sport etc... it means that people who have been here 3-4 times will have seen the usual stuff... Big Ben, Nelsons Collum, London Eye, etc etc... but here's a fun little video for those of you who have the time to watch bout where to go to find some quirky london sites...!!! :-) Inspired by the Evening Standards (a newspaper sold at Tube Stations when people get back from work) daily offerings of a booklet for 200 things to do for FREE in London...
It's nice to be free... it's nice when things are free... its nice its nice its nice..!! Best make the most of all the things that are Free while you can!!! :-)
