The Indians have got the market cornered...

The market of working as recruiters for getting other people jobs.  Seriously, 3 Indian recruiters called me in the past day.  How 'bout that.

Hopefully will have some interviews coming up, although the follow-through of these folk seems to be about as poor as their English.  I'm not specifically trying to talk smack, I'm just saying in 2 instances today they've said "I'll email you something in a few minutes" and then I wait hours and don't get it.  And email them back, and they do not respond.

FRUSTRATING.

I am told that people in their first 3 months of searching for a job search really hard, in their second 3 months search much less hard, and in their 3rd 3 months some stop searching completely.  I'm on month 4, and trying to keep it up, but this is not an easy search and the longer you're on it the harder it gets.  Even the interviews get to be downers after a while when you go to so many and get absolutely zero offers.

But I'm still going, enjoying the summer, watching the storms, laughing at the "gustnado" which I'm pretty sure is made up and was actually a lovecraftian being from another dimension which knocked over all the trees around here.

Over and out, back with good news later!

Interviews...

"It's too bad you don't get paid for going to interviews." 

Tell me about it...

I've had more interviews now than I'd like to admit without having any job offers.  I interviewed yesterday at Abbott Labs in Waukegan, and the interview went very quickly, which to me is not a good sign, but the two people interviewing me were strange.  One note-taker, one question-asker, and the question guy was really rapid fire with everything.  Like he had to take a leak or something so he rushed the whole thing.  I dunno, I really hope I get that job but you know, who knows.  Another interview tomorrow at a place called Platinum Systems in Kenosha, which I also have very high hopes for it since it's ridiculously close to my house.  Anyhow, I've had so many interviews now, it seems impossible for one of these to not come through.
