An agency just called to tell me that they're putting my CV forward for a C/C++ development position in Glasgow. Details are currently a little sketchy but he's going to call back in a day or two to tell me more. Now - knowing agencies as well as I do - I shouldn't get excited about this, but it's the first unsolicited phone call I've had regarding a job in about 2 months.

Assuming that I so much as get a chance of getting the position (so, interview stage or further), the only problem I forsee is that it is a 12month initial position - developing a new product. Ongoing employment depends on the success of the product.

I've also got details for a position I found at the job centre, "IT Trainee". Whooo. What excitement :) Support of NT & UNIX, helpdesk, web applications (whatever that means). It says "This position is an opportunity for someone to gain experience" - which I like! *smiles* Not what I was going for intially, but as I've said before - who's in a position to be picky?

So - we shall see... we shall see.

Housing Benefit forms... interesting. Seem far too simple :) And for my next trick, I shall see if I can get rented accommodation locally that will accept DSS (lots won't, for various reasons...). Of course, this might all be a mute point if I end up getting any of these jobs :)
