Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Looking for your next career move

To all Planners!!

What I’m wondering is, what makes a job vacancy an interesting one? Is it the project that youll be planning for? Or is it where youll be in 12-18 months time?

One of the more interesting jobs that I saw advertised a few years ago, was to work on a Whisky Distillery project....just outside Bankok! ;-)

Now I work for the best boss in the world...myself!

Cheers,
Stuart

Dear Dan

Your Question:
What I’m wondering is, what makes a job vacancy an interesting one? Is it the project that youll be planning for? Or is it where youll be in 12-18 months time?

My Answer:
The job vacancy should be an interesting one to me if the project is challenging in nature, reputed company, competitive salary, reasonable working hours, family status etc.,

Regards

Daya

Dan,
Did you find me that job I was looking for?

Suppose you didn’t,

My expectations after all were quite "high",
Atmosphere didnt matter, it didnt apply,
For building regulations, one wouldn’t try,
Fire certification one could swing by.

You never replied to my specific requests,
but given my application, am sure you know best,
Was it something I said, gave you case to erase,
My sincere application, to go working in space.

Well???
Darrell

I know from past experience that one of the things I do look for is who are the company that is advertising.
Im sure we all have a preffered list and shall we say one we wouldnt touch with a barge pole, no matter how appealing the "position" is
