Mid Summer Update

I have been quiet for a while, I have been getting out on information interviews more frequently which is good, it gives me a boost navigating this tough job market. I am widening my search scope beyond PR agencies to include Professional Services firms and Industry Associations. One place I won't be looking at is the City of Toronto, I think the recent as yet not wound up municipal workers strike has laid bare a very dysfunctional organization, I think I'll pass.

I have upcoming tentative information interviews with the New IABC Toronto President Brent Carey recently transplanted to KPMG and Scott MacFadyen at Apex PR, an agency I hear a lot of good things about.

In other project news, I am grappling with specs for the Oakville Camera Club's, digital darkroom, Exhibit Gallery and meeting space requirements for the proposed QE Park Community Centre in Oakville Ontario. I am thankful to have contacts in the pro photographic lab and architectural community I can leverage some knowledge. I will be meeting with the project architect in the fall for a more in depth meeting.

Other than that, it has to be the worst Summer weather in Southern Ontario. I think I saw less sunlight this July than in December with all the rain that fell.
