Busy
Just so that you don't think I've disappeared completely a quick sign of life on this blog. The job search is still taking a lot of my time, as this is my number one priority at the moment by quite a distance.
After all this is not only about finding a job, but about finding the right job with the right company. I've got a few leads I'm working on at the moment, some in the very early stages, some a bit further. But until I'm quite a bit further with them I'm not going into any more details here. I'm obviously hoping for some positive news, but also need to be prepared for potential setbacks. Either way, keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck with my efforts.
Now, as this is blog I can spare a few minutes for the odd link you might find interesting:
- The new marketing for beginners. I'm not a marketer, but this makes a lot of sense to me. Quite a few things I've bought or use(d) I did because somebody enthusiastically wrote about it. At the same time I can't think of many things I bought/use because of some old fashioned advertising. But then again not having a television might have some influence on that, as I simply don't see any TV advertising unless the ad is so good/special that a lot of bloggers write about it.
- Stumbled over this when I was looking for some of the Bundesliga results. Der Spiegel from Germany writes about Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions (any Celtic supporter will know about them...): Big Jock und seine Löwen. Now a few more Germans should know that a Scottish club was the first British club to win the trophy, not Man U, Liverpool or any other English club. Might come in handy during the next pub quiz.
- Very interesting reading: The New Science of Change. Seems our brain is more complex than most people think and using different ways to convince people to make changes are required.
(That's enough links. Take a break from the computer. Ed.)
