We are looking for an individual who is self-disciplined, a self-starter and who is happy to take the initiative when given the opportunity and ask for support when needed. We need someone who is:

 

• Able to demonstrate a design competency in a wide range of infrastructure technology

At Nexus we consult on a broad spectrum of technologies including:

 

• Smart Building Technologies
  
• Large scale Audio Visual design

Hi All,

 

I'm not sure how politically correct and acceptable it is for a member of the company to reply to their own job advertisement, but here it goes!

 

I joined Nexus summer last year as an ICT Consultant and really enjoy it. I don't think the text in the advert does the job justice, which is a positive and not-unexpected thing. Every day I'm doing something different, talking to different people, operating at different levels. Some days I might be working on documentation or creating technical designs, some days I'm presenting to schools, building contractors or the EFA. Sometimes I could be talking to teachers and staff to audit their use of ICT, or I could be playing with some funky new software, whilst on others I'm walking round a building site influencing the design to fit ICT. And they are just some of things I've been involved in so far.

After 8 years working in schools it was a difficult to decision to re-enter the private sector, but I can say now that I made the right decision. I've not burnt my bridges or lost the influence I had on improving the use of ICT to support learning and teaching, rather now I get to do this from a different angle.

 

Why did I write the above? I want to ensure that the best people get interested in the role as I want the best colleagues! Perhaps my little bit of text will encourage this.

 

Thanks for reading,

 

David

It's shocking behaviour!

Hi, I think one of us is having mail server issues: can you let my email through please? :-)

 

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

[email protected]

Your message couldn’t be delivered because the address you’re sending to needs to know who you are before it'll let your message through.

To fix this problem, contact the recipient (by phone or instant messaging, for example) and tell them to ask their email admin to configure the recipient’s mailbox to accept messages from you.

For Email Administrators

This error occurs when the recipient's mailbox is configured to reject email from anonymous users. To fix the issue, either add the sender's address to the allow list for the mailbox or turn off the mailbox setting that rejects email from anonymous senders.

For more information, see DSN 5.7.12 Errors in Exchange Online and Office 365.
