Yesterday I had lunch with the executive team of an amazing company. One that I would really like to work for. A dream job if you will. It's down to me and another guy. So each of us are going to lunch with the executive team. My turn was yesterday. I hope that I was able to convey how well I could do the job. I felt that it wasn't my best performance, but as far as careers go, I have never had anything that feels so right. I'm gonna be keeping my fingers tightly crossed until I find out. I hope this is a positive result so that I can going and do a great job for these people.

Well looks like I have a job if I want it. Now begins the pondering. Do I take it to get out of the bad one that I'm in now, or wait for something better to come along? My leaning is towards taking it and going away on a vacation before I start it. Well I'll keep you posted over the next day or two what my decision will be. I think I feel a vacation coming on.......

I guess it's only a matter of time to get things flowing. I have an interview tomorrow and some more scheduled for next week. I'm planning on some more time this weekend to write some more articles and figure out whose gonna host my site. If anyone has a host that they really recommend let me know through the comments. I think I'll need someone that has email and autoresponder capability. Well I'm off to do my research.

Well I had a great week-end. Got some more content written. My wife managed to get some stuff written for her site. So hopefully we can launch hers before Christmas. Man did I get a lot of stuff done around the house this week-end. A lot of stuff fell by the wayside as I was looking for a new job. That extra day and some great weather really helped. Not to mention a valliant effort put forward by my nine year old son, who really managed to dig down deep and put forth a herculean effort to get the work done. So now I have to come up with something to reward the young man. I'll have to give this a lot of thought, 'cause I want it to be something special, something that he'll enjoy. Well I've been getting the 60 day course emails and I'm gonna have to get back at it and do a little bit every night. Maybe I can make up some more ground.

Still looking for a job. I have gone on a couple of interview this week and have had a couple of rejections. I've applied to a really great marketing company. Hopefully, I'll get a chance at an interview to convince them that I can do the job. I think I'm gonna take the long weekend and assess where I am in terms of a job and also where I am in terms of a website. And try to at least make some psitive progress at resuming the course.

Ok. Looks like I manage to post two days in a row. Well I seem to be ranting on here about trying to find a job over the last couple of posts. Since this blog is supposed to be about me learning how to build and market a website and sell products and services online, I thought I should devote a blog specifically to my quest to find a job. Thus Quest 4 Fun was born. Pop by and take a look if you get a moment. Hopefully, people will want to read both blogs.

I'll have to put the web development on the back burner while I engineer a major career change.

I still don't have much time to get many posts up these days. Well I found out that I didn't get another job. Made it down to the final three and no success. This is beginning to get discouraging. I knew the potential for the layoff months ago and started looking, yet I haven't been able to find anything. You get to thinking that there's something wrong with you. The longer it goes without an offer the more depressing it gets. Then it begins to affect the way you interview, virtually guaranteeing that you don't get an offer. And so the cycle begins.

Hopefully things turn around. The strain that this is putting on my relationship is becoming unbearable. Seems like my whole life is revolving around finding a job. Everything else is getting left aside. The place I'm working at now, won't stop giving me more work to do which takes more time away from my ability to find a job. It wouldn't be so bad if the package they gave me was decent, but it was kinda sad, shameful really. A good package would have made the world of difference. At this point I kind of feel like the company is giving me a good kick, with the steel toed boots, when I'm down. Nice of them to treat me that way.

Well I better wrap this up before I get on a rant and end up depressing myself. I have to try and keep a positive attitude through this all.
