Waiting…
Still no real news on the job-front. Yes I have been on several interviews at recruiters and at companies directly, but no final job offer so far.
I do get really good in being patient this way.
Waiting for phone calls, emails, meetings, basically waiting for people being interested to meet me and see if I would their profile.
Yes I know social media madam, yes I have experience with flash sir, yes indeed I have been learning a lot during my two years at Philips.
Telling my story time and time again. I do try to make it different each and every time. Which does cause me to loose my words sometimes, but also does it give me an opportunity to look back at what I have done and what I should be doing in the future.
In the mean time I read Twitter, Facebook, find new job openings and wait patiently until the next meeting is announced.

In-between job evaluation
Positive:
- No manager with strange ideas of which I doubt if the company would benefit from it in any way
- No clients that expect me to run because there is 1 word misspelled somewhere on their massive website
- Can enter Photoshop contests
- Can develop my skills
- Time to take a step back and find myself a new challenging project
Negative:
- Lost very good collegues
- Lost nice clients
- My daily rhythm is gone
- Loss of income
- Need to apply for jobs (selling myself is not my strongest point)
Conclusion: Need to find myself a new project with people who are willing to work hard for the good of the company. Motivation, creativity and professionalism is key.
