Looking for work is no fun, but luckily for me, I don’t have to do it anymore. I’m about to start work at Datamart doing B2B sales. Its part time and a small starting wage but there is commission on top of that. They’re giving me a three month trial to see if I’m well suited to the role which means I’ll have that long to build some contacts and generate some new business. They really are an old school company in how they do their sales, so it’ll be good to incorporate that into my plans. I’ll combine that with opportunities for email marketing and SEO and using social media which will be good for my skill base. Plus, they provide mostly office IT equipment, which I know a little about.
The manager seemed really excited about getting some new people in and trying to capitalize on that energy. Its a refreshing attitude, so I want to do well for them. Plus, I get to stay in Edinburgh. I start Wednesday.
Wright After Reading 
congrats on getting a new job, nick. Are you coming back to Vancouver after your year or are you thinking of staying on longer? Maybe you don’t know yet. Anyway, e-mail me sometime to let me know how you are. I am back in Vancouver, trying to get back to my life after my trip home. Unfortunately, I am a news junkie who loses too much time reading about things irrelevant to me in the Middle East. But I am good otherwise.
