The hunt is on

The trip was an huge success. From this one convention I was able to get my name and face into the minds of over two dozen HR managers. I even got an interview out of just turning in my resume to one Director of the department I was looking to get into. All and all this was something I needed to do. It was getting to the point where I was thinking that I needed to start my career search in a totally new area. But this trip has proven to me that the skills and experience I have are valued for a company in this industry. Now I have to just put together some thank you emails to send along to the HR people I have met. I see a new light at the end of that dark tunnel.

To sell ones soul

In a few hours I am leaving on a jet plane to San Francisco. I am excited and very ready for this. But there is a downside. One of the shirts I was going to wear, as a matter of fact one of my favorite shirts. It's now ruined. My future wife is one that wants to be helpful. To the point that she will bug and nag about something. Even if you tell her no and that isn't what you want. She wants to prove that she is helpful and knows what is best. Well, my best silk shirt now has a hole in it from where she burned it. It didn't take much just touching the iron to the silk and good buy shirt. It's funny but this is a shirt that she loved me in also. Oh well I guess I am going to have to go and find another shirt to wear. A shirt that doesn't scream hey you give me a job. OK so I'm off to go and sell my soul and body for a paycheck wish me luck.

Now this is something new

So right after I wrote my last post I got a lead. A headhunter from one of the companies that I use gave me a call. He said that he got a hold of my resume from their Database and I look like a fit for one of those jobs. Oh man did my ears perk up. But with every up there is always a low. The job is located in China. I would have to move to China and live there. Now the money isn't all that great, at least I don't think so. I would be getting about the same as I would here in the states but I would also get a cost of living pay. This would be apart from my regular and just used for room and board. I know on paper it sounds like a great deal. And I would be stupid not to at least look at it. Now I am no where near a dumb ass so yea I am taking a very strong look into it. We will have to see how it goes. The headhunter has submitted my resume and at this point we are just waiting for them to take the next step. But until then I will keep on looking and keep all options open.

3 more months

It's March 1st today and I can't believe I have been out of work this long. Last time I was out of work this long I had at least a few more interviews than I have had. Since October first I have had only one interview. When I say one interview I only mean with one company. I'm not use to that at all. I have the experience and the skill sets to get the jobs that I have applied for. I just can't figure out why no one is calling. I will just have to keep my nose to the grind stone and not let up on the search. On another note I think the stress of this wedding and not working is starting to weight in on both of us. We are so touchy that anything and everything just sets us off. But for some reason it always starts the same way. She wants more sex, even after saying we should wait until after the wedding. Now this was her ideal in the first place. But she can't go through with it and it's my fault because I keep reminding her about it. I'm Sorry but if you are going to keep bringing it up until I say yes. Then I am going to keep you on track. She seems that she is very insecure and it's driving me insane. She wants me to always prove that I am attracted to her. I think that has to be one of the reasons she is like this. We are going to have to work on this otherwise there is trouble down the road.
