I just did an "Ideal Career" test on Emode. Maybe it has something to do with being made redundant in May this year! OK, so I've been managing to make ends meet, but it's not the same as having a full time job and a guaranteed pay cheque at the end of every month!

I actually found the seven page test quite interesting. It didn't say I would be an ideal bus driver or brain surgeon, but it did say this . . .

"As an Analytical type, you don't want to be limited by established rules and regulations. Your inquisitive nature demands that you sometimes question authority. Otherwise, you might not be able to find fresh approaches, or come up with new solutions to a problem. It's not that you act without weighing the pros and cons of a situation — it's more that you're willing to take justifiable risks if they'll further your success.

You're smart enough to know when you need help and are confident enough in your abilities to ask for it. You understand that sometimes there are no clear right and wrong answers, and that's just fine with you because you tolerate gray areas better than most. In fact, pondering potential outcomes can sometimes be more interesting than coming up with the definitive solution for you.

Your right job doesn't have to be about self-expression, but it needs to be a job you can be proud of.

So there you go. If you want to take the test, you can do so Here. Oh, and if anyone's got a job (or contract / consultancy work) for a New Media Marketing type person, get in touch, here. :-)
