    Ive just left the biggest recruitment company in the world, to join a business with 6 people. As long as the work is interesting, I will do it.

    Ive worked for General Electric before and a tiny company where I was one of 4!

    We have little debt, two nice cars and we both work hard for our luxuries in life. I've been to the dark side and back and those who know me, know of my personal goal with my Mazda.

    My plan is to be working for myself by the end of 2010 and be fully self sufficient in the Recruitment world. I have my company and home office set up - Im just not quite ready to take the plunge yet!

    All the best with the new job. With a bit of luck you can look forward to more luxuries!
    As for taking the plunge, I did a few months back as we know. I can report I'm rushed off my feet with work, maybe its just because I'm in the property maintenance industry, but even so I've been busier than I ever imagined.

    I now find myself in the position of increasing prices for my work, in the hope that 1 or 2 will clear off elsewhere!

    You jumped before you were pushed then? When we last spoke you said that management were becoming suspiciously difficult, or something along those lines!! Hope all falls into place for you. Are you still in recruitment? I'm still on the dole, so if there's absolutely anything going please let me know.

    I've acquired the services of a relative for now, but I can bear you in mind if you're good at DIY and don't mind bumping your car up every kerb in Didsbury for a few days.

    Work for a big public organisation and have done for 13 years now.

    The 'job' is a life changing role and did enjoy it in the good old days.

    Now, its just politics and institutional issues and the cow stuff which have let it down and now its a case of its a job that pays the bills.

    Its a shame when your own within the company setup try to shaft you at every opportunity they get (back stabbers).

    So its important as it covers the bills but thats it. As soon as i find another one i'll be sticking my resignation letter up their backsides and wouldnt recomment them to anyone EVER.

    DIY, no problemo. Except for papering!! I'm rather fond of the alloys, I must say, but kerb-bumping can be done with care & finesse!
    I helped a mate to move into his new flat in Chorlton the other weekend, he lived in Didsbury, nice area.
