Every Monday's Moaning

Well, here it is Monday May 7, 2007. I went into the weekend upbeat with a sense of on Monday I'll receive at least one call back. I have been doing what every recruiter has said for a while i.e. call a few HR professionals whether they have a position to offer or not. I called about six on Friday. I was on a roll.

I gave them a brief synopsis of myself. Who I am, what I can offer, how it will be accomplished. All the six were very nice and seemed as if they were interested. I know that I will not receive a call back in 15 minutes (although that would be nice). I just want this process to be over with.

I talked to an area company on Thursday that does third party hires for Lincoln Electric. The recruiter seemed as enthusiastic as me when it came to the position. I first spoke with Amy who said she would pass along my resume. I got antsy when no one returned my call on Friday, so what did I do I called Melissa. Melissa was so nice. She said she would send it over immediately and call as soon as they decided on whom they (Lincoln Electric) wanted. Apparently, the company is still perusing the candidates.

I am also still waiting for the other temp to hire position being offered by Alliance Staffing. The recruiter had a family emergency therefore, I'll let her get back in the swing of things before I contact her.

Finally I'm still waiting on my telephone interview to take place with a large Cleveland area law firm. I can tell they really need me there. I have been rescheduled three times for that interview.

OK no more complaining. This is a going to be a great week. My last day of classes is today and unlike the undergrad years there are no life altering finals. I was able to take this class at my leisure and you know what? I think I learned more that way.

Until tomorrow.
