Things move quickly

As I said within a week of going to the Expo I was having a first initial interview with URS in Australia.  This was all a little odd as the nice people at the Expo had said that they wouldn't pass my CV on and I would have to send an email to their recruiting department in Oz, which I hadn't got round to yet. 

So anyway I was phoned and interviewed they said they would set up interviews with Perth, Brisbane and Christchurch.  All very exciting and rather scary at the same time.   All the while I was working on site in the north of England so early morning phone calls weren't overly welcome but at least I was up in time for breakfast.

I had an interview for the Perth office on the 14th July.  Only four days since I had gone to the Expo.  I thought it had gone well but I wasn't holding my breath, no point in getting excited about anything.  Meanwhile I was still trying to concentrate on work and do my job well.

Around this time I also had email contact with a company in Vancouver who said they were interested in interviewing me.  Things were looking good I thought.

Where it all began

10th July 2011, Finley's 3rd birthday and our 2nd wedding anniversary.  I went to the Expo in Leeds, Savile Hall and talked to the URS and KCB company representatives and well the ball just rolled from there!  A week or so later I was having interviews with sompanies in Vancouver, Perth, and christchurch.  All very strange having conversations at ridiculous times of morning and nights, especially when i was doing long days on site as well.
