[new] End game? (none / 0) (#12)
by SeminoleNo1 on Sun Jan 12, 2003 at 02:39:30 PM PDT

With mid December came a shift to focusing southward. Each call I got from the DC area basicly ended when they found out I didn't have a recent clearance, other than this place that does work for NIH (yawn). Still haven't heard a second call from them.

Typically, January is a good time for non-academic job hunters for a double whammy reason. One is that it is the beginning of a quarter for eventually everyone, the other that it is the beginning of a new fiscal year for about 3/4 of everyone (notably exception of the government who doesn't have to worry about their tax year not aligning with the fiscal year). I had bet the over/under with my wife on the first business Monday would be 3, and I'd take the over. I lost -- got one. I set the week's over/under at 8, and took over again. Lost (3 total) ... but maybe not really ....

Call number 3 (on Wednesday the 8th) was a phone screen from Harris in Melbourne FL. At the end of the call, we set up a phone interview for the next day. Less than an hour after the phone interview, I got a call from them again -- to set up a face to face interview.

Today (jan 12th), I got informed that I have only two weeks of unemployment benefits left. I guess the 13 week federal extension hasn't been entered into the system yet. We'll see if I will need to dip into the extension or not ...
