Ain't life funny?

Just spent two years trying to find a contract. A good enough application-to-interview rate but haven't nailed that job - until now.

Have been cultivating a relationship with a consultancy for just under a year and, working through them as an associate, have secured just the role I was looking for - change management lead on a transformation programme.

In the Caribbean . . .

What's that line in 'Apocalypse Now'? - "everyone gets what he wants".

Now don't treat the above as a boast - it isn't - but it does show that good things can happen if you stick in there and remain positive.
