Careers

The last couple of days have been rather frantic, in terms of possible career options (ie. jobs). Indeed it has been a case of good news/bad news all the way

Good news: I got through stage 1 screening (phone interview) for SKM graduate programme
Bad news: I think I bombed out on stage 2 (online aptitude test) especially the numbers bit. 21 questions involving ratios and percentages in 20 minutes is a pretty hard slog.

Good news: PATREC/Transperth project got the go-ahead today
Bad news: PATREC will want me to provide professional indemnity insurance (for a 6 months x 1 day per week project)

Good news: DPI has advertised a position for Assistant Transport Modeller (no experience necessary, but interest, aptitude and some knowledge essential - i.e. me!)
Bad news: This is full time and would almost certainly mean giving up PATREC project if I got it

Good news: just this past hour got news that I was shortlisted for sustainability position at City of Stirling and now booked for an interview later this week.
Bad news: ... ???
