It's beginning to hit me now, which is a shame, since I'd have preferred to make it to krav and get some endorphins into my system first.
I promised myself to not net-jobhunt until tomorrow, but I can't really relax so I might as well. I feel like a total n00b, not someone who did this in bulk four years ago.
If a job opening that is the closest thing to right you've seen so far asks for two management references, do you sling off your resume without them? I don't even know about getting two references--my previous (har) employers don't give any, and my other job had just the one manager. I could try and track down my the manager at my previous (ouch) gig who got fired way before I did, but it's not something I can bank on.
Ah, fuck it. I'm putting a line in saying contact me for more info. If I'm that good a fit, they will. If I'm a bad enough fit because or despite that, then they'll just be one more person I never hear back from.
Man, I really wanted to make it to exercise before the headache started worsening.
Won't hug you ita. I'd punch somebody for you, but that is probably something you'd rather do yourself.
Shit. I'm sorry, ita.
This may be useless, since I haven't the faintest idea what you do besides "magic computery things," but my brother's company appears to be looking for a software engineer. They're out in Redlands, though. But I know they do telecommuting.
"References available on request" is a perfectly acceptable thing. And now you should go hit people.
Oh fuckity, ita. Not good news.
What kind of severance are you getting, ita?
Well, crap. I'm sorry, ita. This is not a happy Monday Mystery Meeting.
I'm sorry to hear that, ita. Go forth and beat the shit out of the job market.
I can't think of a better way to say it, so Ima point at erika and say, "What she said!"
Thanks for the sympathy, guys.
I applied for one job, updated my resume on a couple sites, and have some homework to do for my recruiter.
Connie--2 weeks. What's kinda shocking is that that's the maximum standard severance at the company (not that I was paying any attention before). I'm sure the higher management might get golden parachutes, but there's some room between me and them, and two weeks isn't
that
much money.
Oh, ita, that sucks royally. Good luck with the search.
