I’ve not really mentioned it on here, but for the past 10 years since leaving college(almost exactly to the day!) I’ve been self employed. I can’t say it was a particularly successful endeavour, the last few years have really been a grind, and being totally honest a miserable experience. I finished up the lease on the unit I was renting at the end of last year, which pretty much drew the line under it.
Since then I’ve been applying for all sorts, not really wanting to carry on in the same sector. I’ve tried all sorts, all across the UK as well as further afield, without much luck.
As with many things, it’s turned out to be a who you know situation. After an incredibly informal chat, I’m starting on Monday as the workshop mana ger for an industrial company that’s just down the road. Dealing with stores, CE documentation, ordering the materials, that kind of thing. Finally a regular pay cheque and time off!

That’s fantastic news mate. Congratulations.
Paid time off without having to worry about where to recoup that money from.

Congratulations on the new job.
Just a tip though, make sure in the future you catch the manager / manger word swap: “I’m starting on Monday as the workshop manger manager ”. If you’re ever applying for a different job in the future a lot of companies will automatically sort for and discard any resumes they get where someone lists “manger” as a job title. It’s a quick and easy way to weed out people who don’t pay attention to the details.

Oh bugger. Rest assured my professional work gets a better check over than my oppo posts.
