Away from all the doom and gloom, it's been a lovely day here near london with a forecast of a few more to come.

The downside was that my mother has decided that a lot of work needs to be done in the garden while the sun shines and I got volunteered to do it.

today hedge trimming.

fortunately I've got a good excuse to be away for the next three days - job hunting.

Yes, there's a two day job fiar for the non-profit sector. There seem to be a lot of people there I might be interested in, so I'm gonna take my time, go to a couple of good seminars (how to do a cv !! - me need lots) and work my way around. (should I say network ??).

I'm very much out of practice at this so there's a certain element of interview practice and ensuring I know how best to present myself in 1 - 1 conversations. Also, my cv is crud so I'm looking for help (which is available there).

It sounds useful. Is there a fee for it?  I hope you get something practical out of it.

It's free, or at least I've got free tickets. I'm giving one to Mig and we're going together tho' I imagine we'll be going in different directions once inside.

I've not run out of cash yet, but I will unless I do something soon.

You know, I'm wondering whether there'll be any jobs for me there. Everytime I look at nonprofit job websites I come away disappointed.
