So, thought I would provide an update as to what has been happening. The good news is that the unemployed IT Worker is no longer unemployed. A UNIX contracting role was found ( via word and mouth ) but also had the opportunity within the same organisation to move out of a hands on technical role and into a more Service Management role. Let's face it, hands on techo roles in this country are becoming less and less with the ability to support systems offshore, and cheaper labour. I've been in Service Management now approx 6 months. It's a great role, and a pleasant change from sitting on data center floors trying to bring up a server, working out why the serial cable isnt working, why I can't get console access, labels falling off servers etc.etc..etc...How many times have we all been in this position. Data Centers, bloody fans, air con units.
Thanks for everyones support. Will keep everyone posted on the Service Management journey.
