Brikar is on a distinguished road

Default I just applied for a job in Austin, TX

Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe I can get a cowboy hat!

Good luck. I'm applying for jobs at the moment also - I am officially unemployed at the end of next month

I got turned down for a really good job last week I had a great interview and really fell in love with the place - but no dice.

I hope to find out if I have secured interviews for 2 more jobs over the next few days. Otherwise it's time to apply for a McDonalds Post-Doctoral Training Fellowship...

I had a great one a little while ago... The interview went great, and I was totally going to jump at the offer... but somehow we got all the way through the application process and the interview before someone told me that it was a NIGHT job. I just couldn't do it.

I'm looking at getting some sort of computer media training, either CGI or advanced website shit.

Brikar, if you accept a job that requires you to relocate, make sure they can't fire you shortly after you sign on. That happened to an uncle of mine and he was kind of fucked over for a while.

I still can't get away from my miserable job. Now I'm really getting irritated with these legions of clowns who come through my place. Drunk people used to be funny to watch, now I'm just waiting for someone to do something stupid and I'm going to send them off in an ambulance, and that includes my boss!

Well, they offer relocation assistance, and if I do lose that job for whatever reason, I've got family in Austin and then I can just come back here for a bit longer since I still live with my parents.

Besides, I've only applied for it. I don't know if I'll even get an interview, let alone an offer.
