So, most of you already know by the lack of an ecstatic follow-up from the last post that I didn't get the job at that large search engine company. "The hiring committee could not reach consensus on my application". A nice way of putting that my 6-hour gauntlet exposed some holes in my knowledge of everything.
Iron Chef Japan Morimoto was the guest chef at the cafeteria the day I was there. I saw him, in person, from about 3 feet away. I was sure it was a good omen.
To add injury to insult, the company I just took a job with is going under. So, I find myself unemployed at an inopportune juncture. It is a great excuse to not go nuts on the holidays, but it's not optimal planning either, considering I just bought a car.
I'm interviewing Monday with a company that's about a 45 minute drive from my house. I don't know if I'm more hopeful to get it and thus be relieved of the anxiety of unemployment, or be passed over so that I don't have to spend that much time in the car each week.
Need the skills of a software developer or software architect? Inquire within. I have till February to find something before I start filling out applications at McDonalds.
career,
