I think it’s time to move on and it’s worked<\/a> twice before! <\/p>\n

One of the reasons I love being a contractor is that I get to change clients, projects and directions when it feels right and that helps to keep me fresh. Stay in one place too long and I find it’s too easy for me to become jaded personally. Once I start to feel like that, a new challenge always perks me up.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if anyone knows of any interesting roles that might be coming up in the near future, please let me know. I have close to 18 months Exadata experience, both on the initial PoC and a very early Production implementation of V2 over a year ago which means I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly of what’s still a relatively new platform. (Oh, and the fact I never blogged about it shows how discrete I can be!)<\/p>\n

Exadata is only part of the story though and I have a wide range of experience so can take on most Oracle roles, although I suppose I specialise in performance as evidenced by the performance master-classes I taught for Oracle EMEA recently.<\/p>\n

Although I like to have a bit of fun on this blog, you can trust that I’m a different person in professional situations and wish I could share some of the very positive management feedback I’ve had over the past few years. I need to find a way to communicate that when I re-write my cv without coming across as regarding myself too highly 😉 The cv rewrite will begin now, but hopefully anyone who is likely to read this knows enough about me already.<\/p>\n

If nothing turns up, I wouldn’t be too unhappy staying with my current main client and they have treated me very well over the past couple of years, so I’m just investigating the possibilities at this stage, but sometimes you just need to do what feels right for you and make things exciting again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
