Hey Boog,
nice to see ya!

Yes I am doing weekly follow up with the places I have applied.

You may want to consider carrying a set of "A", "B" and "C" level resumes.

As for follow-ups, a face beats a voice every time. Maybe when you are in the area, or if it's something you especially would like, stop in and let them know you hope the position is still open. It may tell you more about how much more attention you need or should give to a specific hope. Letting them see you are still interested and connecting YOU to the ton of applications is not bad. Leave them with casual comment about why their place is 'special' to you.


just a thought

I have an interview tomorrow at noon, with the District Manager, to be followed by a job offer, I presume.

(making an attempt at the power of positive thinking, here)

*Adds my positive vibes* Go get 'em, nut!!!

Just in case you're all quite sick of this thread.

I'm back.

I had the interview today, and it went very well, however once I indicated that relocation wasn't an option for me, I basically went into the "over qualified" pile again. They decided to fill the position with another applicant.

Back to the drawing board.

Sorry to hear that.

They did'nt let on that the position wasn't local?

RELOCATION??????!!

I am so sorry!

I was never told what position it was I was being considered for, nor at this point did I really care. I just need a F#@%ing job!!

Apparently, qualification for any managment position with this company is that you are re-locatable. With my previous experience, ideally I would fill a managment role, which I was most suited for. Once I divulged that relocation wasn't an option for me, basically I was done.

Wow, I guess it says things that I've not posted in this thread in 3 weeks.

I have an appointment with a company next Wed. They found my resume interesting and are bringing me in to meet. I'm not sure of the exact job details, but it is a sales position. IF, it there is a salary involved and not 100% comission, I will probably take it, even though I failed miserably as a real estate agent before. I can always keep looking, but I've GOT to put $ in the bills somehow, right??

I wish you all the best. Kick butt!

Find a pitch you like and then drive it hard somewhere buddy.

Thanks guys! I truly appreciate all the support I've gotten.

I went to a job seminar for a company early this week.

I found out yesterday afternoon that I've been chosen to continue on in recruitment process. My next appointment is Tuesday at 10.

If that goes well I have an one-on-one interview with the Branch Manager.

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there!!!!!!!!!
