Headhunted...

Nothing artsy or reflective today readers, this is a post dedicated to hard, bill paying reality...

It was late on a wed afternoon on a particularly slow day at work. And in my boredom i sent a generic CV to an ad that simply read. "Project managers wanted, Attractive Defense Projects, Australia Wide Roles.

A few weeks later i get a call asking me me to attend a phone interview.

So i jump to this company's website and start researching.

Medium sized defense contractor. Has some fairly interesting projects going on. Some systems i've even trained on myself back in the day (*yes i was an army man* (to the tune of "do you know the muffin man")).

Interview 1

C: Blah, blah, blah my experience, blah blah blah, suitable for this role, blah blah blah I would prefer Sydney roles

Company: Blah, blah ,blah company, blah blah, blah, new project, blah, blah, blah Probably Adelaide, probably not sydney

Seems that they did take a liking to me and after my point that i did not relish the thought of Adelaide, they set me up for the 2nd interview... with the Adelaide project team.

And that went pretty smoothly too, i have all the right skills they need, and they like my ex-army back ground and experience with the defense work thing.

I'm pretty sure that they will give me at least 25% more pay then what im' getting now,

The only catch is... I still don't like the idea of Adelaide. And truth be told I am rather settled here.

I'd relish the idea of moving up to Sydney for the better weather and more active life. Not to mention Bo Grosso being up there does help make it attractive for the short term.

But Adelaide? The city of churches?

I don't know...
