    After working remotely for the first 10 weeks during the UK lockdown, I was furloughed in June. I was told it would only be for a few weeks, but as a precaution I updated my CV and started to see what else was out there. I later heard that my furlough would be at least another month. I decided to look for a new role in earnest at this point. My employer work in the car fleet sector and have been hard hit by the economic downturn (with fewer people driving to work and using cars generally). So I interviewed for a few roles, and one of them seemed a really good match for my skills and they had a forward thinking and positive attitude. They made me an offer and I start September 1st. In the meantime I've already handed in my notice with my current employer and in the process of handing over my work to the rest of the team (they've taken me off furlough for this). The interview process was completely different. There was no face-to-face. It was a telephone interview followed by an MS Teams interview a week later involving several people from the company joining the call at different times. I'm excited at the new challenges that lie ahead :)

          Good luck and have fun.

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
