For what may seem obvious reasons to some, I decided to bite the bullet in recent times and go for a new position with a different organisation; (I know I am still a bit of a tease with this) - anyways; it would appear I am getting an initial interview which for this kind of change is a major hurdle surmounted, I expect I will still have to survive a few rounds of interviews before I can set things truly in motion…

Of course here’s the catch - sell your house, your car, get rid of most of the none essentials within your personal belongings and life; and catch the next flight to….

New Zealand!

…and start a new one

See?  Told you I don’t do small change!  I’m really looking forward to a chance to work in an environment that isn’t profit driven; which will hopefully recognise my potential and encourage me to grow (professionally and personally).

On a more sombre note, this does have it’s consequences, I’ll be leaving my immediate family and the brass band I have been a member of for years, they will struggle with a weakened front row - but I see these as necessary sacrifices in my personal development.

Of course I “still” need to be selected from the short list yet, so fingers crossed everyone!
