I suppose that this could be a true Thanksgiving. I SHOULD have done this a few weeks ago, but then, I suppose I didn't feel that thankful.
- I had an interview yesterday for something in small-scale project management with a placement agency. I mentioned it in the last entry. The girl that was interviewing me was rather young, and I think that I was able to convince her that I was actually a project coordinator in other jobs rather than a phone monkey in sales, so she is passing my CV and the results of our conversation on to the actual company. I should know tomorrow if the people there want to meet with me, and I expect that the interview would be later this week.
- Quantum called me about another sales opportunity (I get a lot of calls for sales opportunities; perhaps I should remove the word "sales" from my CV and replace it with "project"). I explained what I was actually looking for and after digging a little bit, it seems that there is an opportunity as a media relations coordinator that was put on hold because there was a death in the family of the one hiring. It sounds interesting; I get to travel locally and coordinate small media projects. Neither opportunity pays much, but at least with my age I can get to the top of their pay grade immediately.
- A former coworker, Gnocchi Linguine, just got married and I was invited to his marriage party. I was told a number of times that it would be great if I could go back there to work, although they agree that sales was not really my bag when I was there. As luck would have it, there was a project management position that opened up that same day. I later found out that Rick, my former boss there, thinks that I would be a great fit for the position, and certainly better than the girl that left it. (Clients actually LIKE me, for starters.) What I have to do now is to make contact with Posey Headlights, the woman responsible for that area of the business. Unfortunately, she is one person I avoided like the plague when I was working there. More on her some other time if this story develops.
- Rose. For three years of tolerating my willfulness and stubbornness, and for never giving up on herself.
