Mick's World

Well we’re well into spring now and the weather is great. Had a bit of a fizzer of an apparent severe storm yesterday, but it hasn’t rained properly in Brisbane in over a year.

With spring comes spring cleaning, some may have noticed a while ago something on the micksworld.com page and it’s been updated again. There are going to be a few changes around here in the attempt to get this site to where I’d like it to be. I’ve already updated the design once since starting the blog in March and there have been a few minor changes since that update.

Besides working on some new stuff I’ve been getting my portfolio together and writing my resume. I’ve made many attempts in the past to write a successful resume but just didn’t have the patience. Now I’ve made myself sit down and write it out so that it’s done.

I’ve applied for a couple of jobs so far. One looked very promising, i got a call and was asked to have an interview. The job was basically exactly what i was looking for, however after a weeks wait (which seemed like a month) i was unsuccessful. Although i think that i was pretty close being on a short list of about 5 out of 30 people for interviews.

I was thinking of writing a post about my experience for that particular occasion as there were a few things i noticed a few positives and negatives during the process. I might try to put something together over the next week or so. I the mean time it’s back to looking for jobs, self employment is slow at the moment. Once my portfolio is up and running I’ll post a link so you can take a look.
