New Job
 

After eight months of job hunting, decision making, despair and disappointment, finally the moment is upon me when I am made redundant from my existing role at ntl and move into my new one with them.

After wrestling with whether to stay or go for the best part of eight months, I have decided to stay. Overall there are still many good reasons to stay, and I feel with redundancies, everyone has their 'time'...and mine is not yet.

From Monday I join the 'Mind The Gap' team in Manchester. I am delighted to be joining the team and working under the manager there, who I know to be first class. I also want to place on record my appreciation for the help and support my previous management team have given me, especially since the redundancies were announced in April.

I look forward greatly to my new challenge, I do hope they know what they are letting themselves in for by employing ME! :D

Re: New Job
 

Good luck Mark, hope you find a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment in your new role.

Re: New Job
 

Congratulations and good luck :)

I hope it all goes well...

Re: New Job
 

Good luck. Don't know where you were based before, but Manchester is not a bad place, providing you avoid the 'nogo' areas!

Re: New Job
 

Thanks everyone.

I decided, after much deliberation, that at the moment I still don't want to work for anyone else.

Perhaps after so long you become a part of ntl :erm:

Re: New Job
 

Thanks John. I was in Manchester previously. In fact, I'm only moving two desks away, for now, though I will be in the newly-renamed and refurbished 'City House' sometime in the near future.

Re: New Job
 

Forgive my ignorance, but what do 'mind the gap' team do?

Re: New Job
 

Good luck mate, hope it all works out for you.

Re: New Job
 

Cue for a 'What is Mind the Gap' thread?

Re: New Job
 

They deal with any issues during the 'gap' beween the order being placed and the install taking place.

Lots of things can go awry, their job is to make sure they don't!

Re: New Job
 

Thanks.....and good luck:)

Re: New Job
 

Thank you so much to everyone for their kind remarks.

I'm quite looking forward to it...and the relief for me that this very difficult time is over is palpable.

Re: New Job
 

Glad you decided to stay Mark the new customers will have a good person there to help if things are not going as planned.

Good luck

Re: New Job
 

good news mark, congratulations and best of luck with the new job description :D

Re: New Job
 

Hi Mark,
best wishes to you in your new position.You have always been around helping people and it's a good decision on your part to stay.The part you will play makes a lot of sense. You only have to look through the postings on the site to see that someone is badly needed in that role. I wonder how many customers have been lost due to mistakes at that point.Either as new customers or people moving.
All Good Wishes for the Future, George. ;)

Well done Mark you are certainly an asset to NTL :)
