Some of you here may even watched a movie or played a video game where I was part of the development team.

Stop making out you work hard, most of the time you are doing nothing but lazing about, you told us. :)

Im a free lance executioner.

I have two days before going to my interview..... while I'm waiting I'm not stopping my new job home search. There was a job posting from a company about 6 months ago here in California near my home town. I used have some connection to when I worked overseas. I felt my experience was a good fit would at least get me an invite but I only got a courtesy response. Now they have re-posted the position and I found out the office handling the job is not San Francisco but Vancouver Canada. Weird how big corporate companies do stuff like that. I applied in a San Francisco position for Bechtel and I got a letter from the London office saying they had a position in UAE they wanted me to apply for. :smash:

I'm really very excited! I got a letter last Friday from a recruiter from Stanford. I would really love to get back home. I've been stuck in Southern California since 2004. When I got back from working in the Philippines, I tried 6 months to get work in the San Francisco Bay Area and I had to learn what being over-qualified was. (It means, you're older and cost too much money) The position looks like a far fit, I might be a little under qualified, but I'd love that work environment. Its a pretty damn big shopping list. I'd hate it if my interview goes well Wednesday and have to run up to Menlo Park for an interview, but I can't sit still watching the world pass by my door. I've got to make things happen.

I am an I. T man.

Any good with self-contained MSQL databases?

Well.... my interview went better than I expected. It wasn't as structured as I thought it would be. I just went around and met a bunch of people and had little chit chats. More like speed dating than a grilling interview. A couple of them didn't even have my resume in front of them. I ran into my competition in the hallway a couple of time and he looked scared. He wore a dark blue striped suit and tie. I wore casual office wear. It's a blue collar construction office. One of the department head Engineers asked me if I had a degree, I told him my stuff was all on the job. He said "me too, I hate the suit and tie, just between us." :o,

I got the old we'll be contacting you soon line from the Final Department head. :-\

Thanks,

For the Luck! It is well received.

Ring... ring... ring.....

FJ: Hello this is John speaking.

MP: Hi, I'm the HR person, I understand you just had an very long interview with our Engineering Department?

FJ: Yea, I did!

MP: How did it go?

FJ: I kinda liked it!

MP: You liked it?

FJ: I did liked it! I got a chance to meet a variety of people that and got a feel of what the culture is like and I felt the job the way they explained is a good fit.

MP:We'll that's great to hear. The reason I'm calling is because our people felt you were a good fit for the job as well. So John, tell me, I understand you are working. Why do you want to leave the company where you are at now?

FJ: We'll officially my company is on a 4 day reduced hours work week and we all had to take 10% salary cuts on top of that. The company has down sized. Need I say more?

MP: No, no... So, What kind of Salary are you looking for?

FJ: We'll what I'm doing now is not exactly the same thing as before because I was wearing two hats and I'm making ~75. But I'd like to get what I was making before but I know the market rate is down so I'm hoping to get somewhere in between.

MP: John, as part of our application process I sent you email with a link and we'd like to fill up an application in the next day or two. I will put together an offer letter and get it over to you.

FJ: That's fantastic!

MP: excuse me a sec. I've got to answer another call. Ok, did I talk to you about benifets?

FJ: No not yet. Ok at Southland we offer 100% match on 401K you are fully vested... blah... blah... blah...

MP: So John, how much time do you need to give your employer notice?

FJ: Just the standard two weeks but I'd like to keep it clean and do it at months end so it's easy for them to keep all the billing straight. And my pay is not interrupted.

MP: Ok, so your looking at the 6th of September as your start date?

FJ: Yea, that sounds about right.

MP: Just wait for my offer letter.

FJ: Great looking forward to it.

MP: Just wait for my email.

FJ: Thanks, you made my day!

MP: That's wonderful By John.

FJ: Bye

YES! Nailed it!

If I understand you, no. "It's a true story". I worked with a Scott in Saudi and about 30% of the stuff that came out of his mouth was unintelligible. He always started and ended his tales with "It's a true story".

Now, I'm going to try and land for me, a career defining job. A recruiter invented me to apply for a senior position at SLAC If you received a letter from a company recruiter, not those head hunters working for commissions, then you know you don't have to convince anyone with your resume because that part of the process is already done. They saw something in there where they want you to show up for the interview. The only thing is I feel like I'm stabbing the new company in the back. "It's a true story" really! "It's a true story" ;D
