IWETHEY.employed++
Got it!
Out of 4 people interviewed.
The contract is for (at least) 6 months, doing embedded software (mostly C, with an increasing amount of C++; they liked my C++ experience, so I think I will be in the forefront there) in the medical equipment field. I should be right at home....
/me breathes!

Good going!
Now we just need to convince someone that they want to go work with Scott and hear this positive message again...

Abos-LUTELY!
Given the obvious talent in this group, I can't understand how someone like Scott, or Todd, or even you, Ben, could remain unemployed/uncontracted for as long as you/they have. It makes no sense...unless Murican Bizness has some sort of death wish.

Hey, Nightowl...
Whatever happened with your interview?

Re: Hey, Nightowl...
Whatever happened with your interview? Well, she never called me to offer it, so I assume that my lack of experience in Access was a factor. I'm kinda relieved, because it was a bit more than I was ready for. :) I'm planning to get started learning Access soon, John has to install more of the components on the computer, first, and focus more on that now that I dropped my class. :) We did learn a lot from the interview though, my counselor and I reworded part of my resume and letter so that they adequately reflect me better, and I made a good list of questions so I come away better informed next time. Thanks for asking. Nightowl >8#

Congrats; if my guess is right, you'll be nearby
I know of a rather large medical equipment company located on the north side of Waukesha. I fly over it when I'm practicing takeoffs and landings at Waukesha airport. It's only a few miles from my office.
Hope you enjoy the commute!
