dcseain | Job search update

Ok. I posted to Dice today. Ninety minutes later, a recruiter in Nashville called me for a position on Riggs Rd in Hyattsville. I said no thanks, as it's a commute from hell from Reston, though i phrased it more nicely for him. Apparently he gets a lot of 'the commute's too long' from people around DC. Imagine that. Anyway, he rang back 15 min later. Turns out the position is on Riggs Rd in Gaithersburg, not far from the airpark as it turns out. I told him that that's still a very lengthy commute, and unless the shift starts before 7 AM or 10 AM or later, that i was not interested. It's a MS helpdesk for the Executive Office of the President. Heh. We'll see what comes of it, but what with the location, seems rather less than ideal, as riotous as it would be working for the EOP.

On a happier note, my resume has been passed on to the hiring manager at Approva. Thanks to

annezieger for her assistance with that. She showed me a job posting, and my reaction was "OOOH! That's exacly what i'm looking for!" Hopefully the hiring manager finds me worthwhile. It's at Tysons, so the commute would be easy.

So, in short, things are looking up a bit. I also want to thank

fixx for totally saving the day for me this week.
