Post #104,589 by lincoln 6/3/03 12:15:55 AM Reply	"Dear John" letters Both companies that I visited in the past 2 weeks sent "Dear John" letters that arrived today, saying that they decided to hire someone else for the positions. So now I'm batting 0 for 2 with no more at-bats coming up in the near future. Looks like a long and bleak summer. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig" [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

I've had that happen to me before, they went with someone else and never bothered to tell me. But look at it this way, if they do hire again, they might call you back. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair. If there's anything I hate it's a crooked crook!" -Moe Howard*

If they went with somebody else this time, there's no reason to try me again next time. After all, if I didn't make the final cut now, how can I improve my chances without knowing where I didn't measure up during these interviews? lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig" [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

Post #104,824 by lincoln 6/4/03 11:56:42 AM Reply	Agreed But since I'm having no luck getting even my first interview here in the 4th biggest city in the USA, I'll go wherever to get a job and support my family. Have already discussed with the wife how low of a salary I'll take to relocate (depending upon cost of living factors). lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig" [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

It was April the 41st. Being a quadruple leapyear, I was driving in downtown Atlantis. My Barracuda was in the shop, so I was in a rented Stingray... and it was overheating.
