Good News !

[Zardoz]

Thanks guys, I think it is going to be a good place for me, and I'm really looking forward to getting started. Let me say something about job hunting, I'd been at my last job for 11 years, and I went into it staight out of several years at another one. I had not really "looked for a job" for almost 20 years, and I didn't know what the hell I was doing! After months of floundering about on my own, making apps on the internet, and not getting callbacks or going into interviews unprepared etc.. I signed on with a placement and temp agency. They helped me with my resume, learned what I wanted to do, gave me tips on interviews etc.. And, after being with them for 2 weeks I had 2 interviews with companies that really matched my skills and even my desired schedule! I got hired by the second place they sent me to.
So if you are ever in the same spot, go with an agency, I wish I had sooner!

Congrats on the new job. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be out of work for that long. My congratulations to you and sympathy to those still looking.

Good Work! I've been there also. You try to have fun and enjoy the time off, but there is always that underlying layer of stress.
So...relax and enjoy!

Well done sir!

I currently have a large slate of interviews set up. Hopefully all will go well, been a few disappointments here and there but my next interview on Wed. is promising, the Principal called the house four times in addition to us talking on the phone twice.
