Is London actually quite small?

I am now eight months into my current job and I have been involved in a handful of projects which have somehow involved no less than four of the other organisations that I interviewed with in the last couple of years.

Interestingly each of the organisations had either made me some sort of offer, or is still trying to recruit me.

I didn't do a shotgun approach to applying for jobs, so is the industry really quite small?


Update: Now my former employer is trying to form a strategic partnership with my current employer.  I'm not quite arrogant enough to say it's because they miss me so much.

It's a small world

Today I had an interview for a role contracting at an e-commerce organisation near London.

After completing the multi-choice "technical test", and blitzing through the practical task, I had the face to face aspect of the interview.

The first of the two interviewers had a familiar accent, then I recognised the face as well - "Hey, I think you were in my class at uni"...

Eleven years later and about 19,000 kilometres from where we met - I think this proves that it is a small small world.
