Hello all… well its been a slow week. I have spent the majority of this week working for Bonds. They have been trying to increase sales in their silk line so we created 14 international websites, used RSS feeds to keep information (and products) up to date across the board. Then I’ve been working away creating as many product feeds as I can (in various formats, why can’t all websites conform to some standard?!). So far the products have been listed on Amazon (all 1,982 of them!), eDirectory, PriceRunner, Google (UK, USA) eBay and hopefully kelkoo by Monday!
If that wasn’t enough I’ve been spending hours finding companies in and around Manchester and North Wales to apply for a summer internship. So far out of the five companies I’ve approached, 4 have contacted me back. Not bad for two days work!
I’m also seriously considering moving to Manchester at the second. I believe if I want to develop my skills and talents further there is no better place within the UK. I approached the Universities a while back (MMU and MAN). Unfortunately today I got an email back from MAN stating that their policy is not to accept transfers! Still waiting for MMU (I was told I had an interview on the phone but still no word back confirming when or where…).
If all this fails I might just apply to MMU or MAN to repeat my first year… but is it really worth it? I’m already on a First at Bangor University (which by the way is rated higher then both Manchester Universities).
To cap off the week I’ve also been revising for my tests which are very quickly approaching. I’ve finished two textbooks (bear in mind they are about 600 pages each) and shall be starting the third tonight, how fun for Friday!
Just want to mention a band I am in love with at the second. Electric President. I have been listening to their song Insomnia for the past two days pretty much not stop!
Anyway, I will get round to finishing this website soon, and hopefully putting on some of my example work.
Have a good weekend
Dave.
