OK...I don't want to get too excited but things look like they're really starting to pick up. I have a 2nd phone interview tomorrow and I just got a call from a corporate company in the Burbs about their staffing position (my former co-worker is there consulting for them and she put in the good word for me...I'm telling you, it's all about the networking in this day and age). Could this week be the week that I actually have some things going on? How wonderful would that be? It feels like forever (in "real time" about 5-6 weeks) since I really started looking for a job and it looks like the fruits of my labor may just be working. Thank you fruits (Granny Smith apples, oranges, peaches...they're my favorites).
I've also been contemplating if I should register with the Unemployment office as kind of a preemptive strike? I can do it while I'm under the WARN Act but I feel like I kind of want to wait to stave off any defeated karma in hopes that I'll have a job before I leave here on the dreaded 9/11.
Today's JOG tip: Make sure that your outgoing voice mail messages are professional. I know that when I call someone and I get Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" playing in the background, it puts questions in my mind like, "Who is this joker?" Also, the "Have a blessed day." is nice but really? For some reason it turns me off. Just my professional opinion. Leave your name and that you're not there but that you will get back to the person as soon as possible. Short and sweet. No need for Kate Perry and "I Kissed a Girl" to also make an appearance on the message.
