Bowlcut’s little piece of the world

Well that went so so I guess. Was hard to get a read off this one. I think that partialy has to do with the fact he isnt looking to fill the position until the first of the year. So its not like the last one where he needed someone ASAP. It sounded like a fun job and the ability to learn more of Windows Admining. Im not turning down anything thats for sure. If someone wants me to learn Windows Server I will do it if they will let me learn it. Its windows for crying out loud, couldnt be too hard to learn.

Then I got a call for an interview with….*cough*….WebMD. Oh well Ill see what it has to offer. I have heard mixed reviews of working there from a few people. Expected to hear from Mt Pleasant by now, but who knows. I know he has to be back in Nashville IL by tomorrow and he was forced to make his decsion by then. So heres to crossing my fingers on that one.

Heading up to Dad’s this weekend to fix his PC. I have applied to a few places up there also. Dont know if Ill do much up there related to jobs tho. I may drive around to get some ideas of whats up there now, pick up a new yellow pages, and that sorta thing. Dad would love me back up there I know that. I could live cheap…but sometimes its like…meh I dont want to go back up there sometimes I do. Who knows. Ill see what comes along from all my postings.

Well I woke up this morning to a phone call. That company I had a phone interview with yesterday wanted a face to face. That is good I made it past the prelims. He interviewed like 4 people today he was saying. So I figure I’ve got good odds considering min of 25% then I know I have a ton of experience they want. They called at 8:45am for an interview, considering its in Mt Pleasant which is an hour away…I said sure for a 10am interview. Wow that was a dumb thing. I took a shower as quick as I could and made it down there only like 15mins late. They said they didnt mind since lot of them were running late anyway. I hope that doesnt hurt me too much cause I do have a lot to offer. Think they were impressed a bit with me or so the vibe was like that. He says they should have a decision made by tomorrow he thinks.

After that had a 3pm interview with a head hunter group. They didnt have anything to offer right now but oh well will keep going on that. Ok thats a long message for today I guess. I am still sending out resume’s thats for sure. Even if that other job isnt as good as Id hope Ill probably take it since its a 2nd shift job so I can still interview with other places. Ok back to posting resumes since I didnt do that at all today.

Ok from now on, Im going to try to update this daily on my job hunting experience. I am now unemployeed for one day and have put out probably 50 resume’s online. Im also hitting everyone I know to have them circulate my resume as much as possible.

As for people saying I should apply for unemployment… Rights that are explained by Tennesseeanytime.org , “Even if the wage requirements are met, benefits could be denied if you quit your job without good cause or if you were discharged for misconduct in connection with work.” So with the “we ask for your resignation” puts me into that area of I quit. So no unemployment for me. If they fired me sure, but nope I quit techincaly. Yet another way Centerstone backs you into a corner. So I just have to get a job of some sort.

I had one call today for a local head hunter group, CPI,. I will be going to their office for a meet and great tomorrow at 3pm. They found Newman a job or three so that could be a decent thing. Yesterday had a phone interview with a place in Mt. Pleasant which sounded really promising. He said he should have something better decided by next week on who to interview face to face. I have to say my resume and experience is part of the kicker its nice. So hopefully that will get me something.

Had to go to Office Depot and buy some paper. I ran out of paper trying to print the state application two nights ago. So now I have a big pack of paper and then some nice resume 100% cotton paper that I can use. I lost my last pack of resume paper somewhere in some move. So hopefully I can keep this 1 call a day going, that would be great. Ive spent probably 5-6 hours today going though online postings. Next week will be hit more IT placement firms and head hunters if nothing else. Then maybe something like a 3rd shift job at Walmart or such to get some cash flow going….I hate being unemployed
