Anticipation.....

The past few weeks has been rather interesting regarding the job front. I've had 6 interviews in the past 2 weeks, five of which happened in one week! Every single one of them went really really well, as far as I could tell. Now I have to wait to see if they felt the same way.

It would really be nice to have multiple offers all come in at the same time for once. Just having the ability to choose where I would like to go and have a little bargaining power to boot would be awesome.

Let's see now. There was the communications company that liked my Video Conferencing background. Then there was the online sex search company that was looking for a network admin assistant. They are doing a whole new roll out upgrading all of their backbone to new hardware and platforms. That project alone sounds interesting. Not really conducive to my ongoing personal recovery but it's a job and I'll be working with the computer hardware not the website per se. Next up is a consumer collections company looking for an onsite tech support/ network admin person. The reporting manager is located in Vancouver so there would be no one looking over my shoulder all day long. I prefer that then the thought of being micromanaged. I was contacted rather shortly after updating my Monster.ca resume by a placement company looking to fill a video conferencing specialist for Direct Energy. This role sounds really fun. I'd be looking after the video conferencing equipment and technical questions as well as their A/V equipment. See I knew all those years of DJ'ing and playing with big speakers would pay off at some point! A few weeks ago I was contacted by OpenText, a software company. They are looking for a tech support guy to add to the team. I was contacted on Friday late afternoon for a Monday meeting. That one went really well. They said hat they don't do more than one interview and there were only three people they were meeting with, me being the top candidate. I have all of the skills they need and got along pretty well with the two managers that I met with. I know that's only five but there were a couple of phone based interviews that didn't appear to go anywhere. There's also Rogers tech support. Not really my first choice but they are hiring so I did submit my resume.

So as you can see there are a bunch of prospects on the go at this point and you can also see what's causing the anticipation that something is going to pop pretty soon. It's the waiting that is driving me nuts.
