A stab in the dark?
I decide I need to start looking for a job.
http://www.dice.com/ - Not bad but mostly contract positions. Contract jobs aren't all that bad, but when you know the contract company is billing you at twice what they are PAYING you, ya gotta wonder......
MS.com - Too much crap. Do I really want to work @ MS again? Maybe I should consider somewhere new?
Hmmm....I'm a pretty huge fan of ol craigslist. I've sold good shit, I've bought good shit. My friend Brian says all the hip kids are using craigslist.
So I do some searching. I see a listing. Description looks interesting. Kinda vague, not much detail. No doubt I can do it. I'll send of an email off Monday AM and see what happens. It's a legit company (or at least they have a website) so....
Monday. Send off the email. Say I'm interested in the job. Attach my resume. Expectations. NONE.
Weather looks really nice today. I think I'll go for a longish bike ride......
Damn, I forgot my phone.....No biggie....I'll be home in a couple of hours.
Huh, somebody called and left VM.
"Hi Alan, My name is ______ and I would like to talk to you about what kind of role you're looking for, blah blah blah. Please call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx."
Holy Shit. Did I even expect a response? No.
I collect some notes and prepare to call her back. We chat and long story short, she wants to know if I would like to come in. Of course I would. She'll send me interview details tomorrow (Tuesday)
