Step up to The InterChange Desk…
I guess we all have fetishes, obsessions, or vices. Everyone has three as the old saying goes.
While changing careers is not exactly something I do for kicks, I sometimes wonder if they’ll put me in rehab for being a serial career changer though.
In a way my latest blog, The InterChange Desk, which I launched last month is yet another career turn for me.
Now I’m a full time blogger. Don’t ask me to list everything else I’ve done, that alone would surely exceed my 500 word limit here!
Except to say my past work has bought me into contact with Mick Jagger’s brother Chris, two serving Prime Ministers, and a couple of DJs from one of London’s biggest radio stations. And even the current captain of the Australian Rugby team.
Ok, that wasn’t quite work, he owns a chain of coffee shops in Sydney, and I happened to be in one of them when he made an appearance. Nice chap, has a very hands on approach, he even served us our coffee personally!
Anyway, I think I’m at the point where the only option work wise left to me was to start my own business. After all, every recruiter in town crosses the street very suddenly when they see me walk around the corner.
“Oh My God - there’s that serial career changer again - I don’t think there’s a single recruiter left in town that can help him!”
That’s if there’s still a single recruiter left in business after I’ve finished traumatising them all that is, mwah ha ha…
But seriously if I’m not making a career change then I’m talking about it.
For instance whenever the conversation turns to matters even vaguely career related, and someone gives the slightest indication they’re a little bored with their work, I chime in, with advice, words of encouragement, and of course the URL of The InterChange Desk.
Anyway thanks for reading. I hope you’ve enjoyed. If it’s career change advice you want, you know where to look. Right?

Aloha,
Just wanted to say your site rocks. After years of being “self employed,” most recruiters run the other way with myself as well, also forcing the overqualified yet underpaid selection of jobs available. The good thing about the one here is that it’s my physical presence here that matters most (and keeping the candy jar filled-I’m not kidding, it’s listed on the responsibilites of this position), and this leaves me the wonders of time to babble incessantly on my site or to string lengthy comments on others. Still, great, funny site. Cheers, SarahAnne

Your site is going to be a really valuable resource to me soon, when I seriously start considering my employment options: currently unemployed and enjoying a life of leisure [I’ve been in limbo: long story!], I hope to start applying myself to something other than tv-watching, reading and blogging. So many interests, but so much burnout & baggage from my previous career… we’ll see how things go
