Bump, just an update.


I've applied for a lot of roles, I've been rejected for quite a few. Haven't heard back on a bunch more that haven't even been reviewed (Thanks Indeed).


Where I'm at.


I talked to a tech incubator a couple of weeks back, he stated that he was going to have a decision this week on which way he's going. I haven't heard back, but pinged him this morning. My battered confidence has told me that I probably didn't get it. I can live with that.


I applied with a large software/knowledge base company late last week, had the first interview with HR last week, had a second interview last night and he told me to get back to him with a confirmation that I'm interested in going forward, which I'm going to do, its a cool product, a pretty well known company, but the process is going to be long (multiple interviews and homework, its the way of the world now). But I might as well see where it goes


I applied for a role in Vancouver yesterday, and they got back to me right away and asked me to do a exercise in terms of client interaction and how I would handle scenarios. I just finished the excercise and submitted it, so we'll see. My only concern is its a move to Vancouver, which concerns me because of some personal situations, but a job is a job.


I sent my resume into a company for a free evaluation, and they gave me some feedback, I had too many details in mine, and it didn't look pretty, so I've changed my resume, removed a lot of specific information, and removed any jobs prior to 2007. I also changed my cover letter format to be prettier. We'll see how that works out.


Not giving up yet.
