Behind the Scenes at Global-Roam

This is just a short post to say goodbye as I’ve left global-roam for another job. A friend recently informed me of an opportunity that I’d be insane to pass up and so I’ve jumped ship. Not a sinking ship mind you. I just saw a port in a different shipping lane.

I found working at global-roam to be fantastic learning experience. Prior to joining, I hadn’t been in IT for a number of years. The amount of useful junk that I’ve crammed into my skull in the past 13 months has my head spinning (in a good way).

These are exciting times for the energy markets and for this company in particular as it undergoes its restructuring. The ETS has been all over the news. Everyone is bricking themselves for a hike in their home electricity bills. Talkback radio personalities are doing their best to scaremonger and every second person you talk to is an expert.

Now that I’m leaving, there’s a bit more room on the bus. That means there’s more opportunity for innovative individuals to get in at the ground floor (Yes smart-arse, this metaphorical bus has an elevator). You may not be an energy market expert at present, but if you can demonstrate the ability to learn and a can-do attitude, then I’m sure the company will be most interested in hearing from you regardless of whether positions are advertised or not.

That being said, it was a pleasure working at global-roam and I’ll continue to follow this blog with interest.
