Things have gone a little dry lately and BAe have gone very quiet while they work out what to do after losing a major order. They got rid of 600 staffers and are still distributing work and workforce. They will start taking on again once they are sorted.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Originally posted by The Lone Gunman View PostI have been getting along quite nicely for the last 10 years. Never needed to cross over to anything else. I wouldn't be averse to changing tack, but have not realy done anything else for 10 years. Considering looking at PM work, but need to do Prince2 and ITIL courses to even be considered.
