Unfortunately I doubt that I am what they are looking for.
So on Friday I met someone at the dance up at Mobtown, who was looking for technical trainers. One thing led to another, and she and I and her business partner will be meeting tomorrow, back behind Montgomery Mall. A nice office location, an interesting thing - it will be attempting to get training done for the upcoming health exchanges. Current situation chaotic. She needs someone for the DC exchange. Yesterday.*
But despite them having already seen my résumé I really worry that I lack the skills for this job
