2002 Oct 28 17:03

Company called my recruiter to tell me that they decided not to proceed with me — because, after evaluation, they decided I’d eventually get bored with the position and move on. WTF? I mean, so I could get things turned around for them…but in the end I think they just want to keep things moving rather than do things right, and I’m someone who definitely falls in the latter category (at least in principle.)

Back to square one. No pending job prospects, no interviews, no nothing. Just me, my resume, and the online want ads.

And it took me weeks to get just that interview set up. Even worse, visa wise, I can’t just take a job up here at the local McD. It has to be skilled, preferably computer, work.
