My absence from blogging recently has been with good reason.

The reason is simple actually. I started blogging seriously a few months ago, when I found myself devoid of a full time job and self employment afforded me the free time to happily blog away. This has changed! I am no longer privileged with the sleep ins and the freedom that I once had.
I am now employed full-time.

November last year, a very good friend of mine, Chris M, posted an article about a position available on his VERY reputable, award-winning blog. He then encouraged me to contact the agent, even though I was at first doubtful, I took his advice. I should also mention here that, Chris has also just been selected to have his articles posted on TechLeader, the Mail & Guardian powered blog and shot to fame today with the most reads of a blog post for his first post which went up this morning. Well done mate!

After a 6 month long recruitment process, a few interviews and a research paper later, I was called on Thursday last week to set up a contract signing meeting. Friday morning I signed and I started on Monday at 8am!

My new title is New Product Strategist and I am employed by the leading ISP in SA (40% market share is leading!), MWEB, to research new technologies, new product concepts and product strategies!

Its a flipping amazing job spec and the work is exactly what I would like to be doing at this point in my career. I am really excited about it and I am certain that it will prove to be just the challenge that I have been looking for.

My entrepreneurial projects will continue to function at full capacity and will only result in me being a VERY busy man!

I think its fitting to mention, that my girlfriend has been pushing and supporting me non stop and it has culminated with me getting this position. I don’t think that I would have achieved half of what I have, without her support and encouragement! Thank you love!
