Journal fractaltiger's Journal: Job Lowdown: Hired! 2
Well, after waiting on that opportunity that I said should have produced a result by the end of last week (though I was quickly losing hope in the HR component of the hiring,) I got hired.
I got the hiring message today, and an extra one that is still halfway through the stage of convincing their management to hire me.
I'll be working a comfortable schedule, fulltime, providing inside support rather than direct user support. That is good. Staff members may tell you about deadlines and poor previous helpdesk performance, but they're calm, have accessible computers and always use bureaucracy rules of the workplace, which I appreciate.
So I'll start next week or probably earlier. I'll be busy on saturdays, but I have free mondays! Then again, most floating holidays won't affect me. But I'll be doing IT, which I love. Thank you all for your support in getting this position.

I follow the financial news daily now, and today was a weird day: I get hired and a few hours after that, hear bloomberg financial radio (bloomberg.com has a Realplayer link or you can tune to 1130 AM in NY) reporting that the industrial market has been strengthening itself while the job market is standing still lately. I hope it's not a new business trend like outsourcing has become.
I thought "whew." I have a reason to keep my resumes on the job boards
