SO... I was thinking about finally giving up and deleting my LinkedIn profile in the last couple of weeks.
Not that it has ever helped me before, but I am glad I didn't. I need to update it. A lot. I've done up my CV tonight.
Meanwhile... if anyone could use an experienced technical employee based in Wellington (remote work is fine), do let me know.
My short CV - I'm not a programmer, not a database designer, not a data engineer, not an architect, not a technical writer, not a web coder, not an automation expert, not a trainer. But... I have done all of those things many times. If there were a requirement to be any one of those things full time, I have no doubt I could get up to speed quickly.
My primary role in recent years has been technical support, mostly of a platform but also various technical users. I'm pretty good at this, if I say so myself.
I'm also a fabulous communicator in person and in writing. Not my judgement; people tell me that. Have done for years. (Ask me about that time I had dropped on me the need to train 100+ developers and testers in new tooling and I had to develop and deliver a complete training course in a few weeks.)
There's a small chance I will still have a job in 6 weeks but, the way things look now, I do not want it. What is being proposed is unreasonable and any residual loyalty to the company I have given 15 years has just evaporated. Actually, it is not at all the same company I joined back then. It is a shell of its former self and a lot of us have no confidence in the leadership.
