Where we're going no one really knows

 I've had to do a massive rethink of my Day Job career and future job searches. As much as I think I'd be a good fit in AP/AR, considering I've been working for A Very Well Known Bank for nigh on fifteen years, somehow the algorithms and hiring teams only see that I don't have experience with the software they use and don't think I'm worth the time. It's quite frustrating, really. Maybe they think this is a step down? Maybe they can't be bothered to train me? I don't know. Yes, I know job hunting has changed a LOT since the days I answered ads in the newspaper. I don't expect the job to be handed to me. I'm just saying it's frustrating as hell to get through that particular wall sometimes.

Anyway, A suggested that perhaps I should start broadening my search -- you know, maybe instead of banking, perhaps something like Office Management? (Me: You know me, I am SO not management material. A: It's not what you think, It's office upkeep. Ordering stuff, helping managers, and so on. Me: ...THAT I have experience with! :D )  So starting today I've created a new job search that will kick those particular positions my way. We'll see where it goes.

Meanwhile, I just got another meeting planner from Current Day Job Head Boss updating us about the potential office move. To be honest, I'd rather be given the news NOW instead of this "I have an update...but you'll have to wait until tomorrow" bullshit. (I know, I know...you want to do this so you can tell everyone in one go instead of multiple times. But this particular Upper Management Brilliant Idea has made a LOT of us lower employees rather pissed off, so...yeah.)

SO. How's your Monday been?
