Overdue for an update

It's been a while since the last update...

I was all excited ready to go to Harborne Hall, and I had a depressing call from VSO.
Apparently they have changed their requirements and IT volunteers without IT degrees are no longer needed!
Given this change had happened after I went through assessment it was a bit unfair I felt.

After a long call it became clear my chances of getting a placement were slim to none, there was just one placement that they could consider me for, and it was a YfD (Youth for Development) placement. YfD is for under 25s, but on this placement they wanted a under 25 yr old with 3 yrs + professional experience and an IT degree!
Oddly enough with this they couldn't fill the placement, so I have a chance, maybe a small one, but its a chance of this placement.

So with this update I went to Harborne Hall, I'm glad I did it was a great weekend, lots of things to think about, learnt a little about new things, and learnt some more about things I knew a little about already.
