The job search continues. I’ve sent out a number of cover letters for some interesting positions in the non-profit world, as well as resumes to a few temp agencies. Most of the positions are for an office “generalist” type, someone who can handle many disparate tasks efficiently and effectively, with a special emphasis on web technologies. Well, that’s me. I know that someone out there can use my multifarious expertise in some way, I just need to find them.
Suffice to say I have not heard back from one cover letter or resume. Until yesterday, that is. I was tapped for a phone interview for a position with a large financial corporation through a temp agency. A recruiter from Agency A had mentioned a position that seemed like it might be a good fit, Account Manager in the Online Investor Relations department of Corporation C. Turns out recruiter #2 thought so as well – yesterday morning I was suprised with an appointment for a 12:45 phone interview with said recruiter!
After a rushed morning of preparation, I thought the interview itself went well. They were mostly concerned with the amount of client interaction I’ve had throughout my work history in web development. Fortunately I’ve had plenty and stressed that point as best I could. I’ve come to find out through recruiter #1 that recruiter #2 was impressed and feels I am an ideal candidate. Consequently, my resume is being passed along to the appropriate personnel at Corporation C.
This afternoon I will visit the Agency A offices to facilitate the interview process. I’ve become very excited at the prospects of landing work in such short order. At the same time, however, I am striving for equanimity and moving forward with other potential opportunities. When I’ve got more news I’ll share it with the world!
PS- I’m almost ready to post a gallery section of noveltimes.com which will highlight some of my recent travels as well as shots of my new place and new friends in SF. Soon, soon…
