'coz it looks like I'm gonna be at it a while longer.

It's probably worth mentioning that this came from someone in the "diversity staffing and college programs." So I guess I didn't have enough melanin or something.

Meh.

Intel needs some good software folks.

Well, I'm not licked just yet. This is a minor setback.
#2389 04/23/2004 08:32 pm Well...
As I said before, I heard they sucked to work for...

Ok, well that probably doesn't help..so just assume that not getting this leaves you open to getting that perfect job that will come.

I wonder how often this is true.

Husky Energy really does it (they send me job opening notices).
Apparently XWave really does it (they send me rejection notices, regardless of whether I actually applied for anything).

Most places are probably lying.

Ali: My company does it. In fact I just did it myself yesterday (oulled out a resume submitted a while ago and hired the guy).

That said, I'm still glad you were able to come out to Portland.
Jobs are like cancers; all the wrong people get them, but if you wait long enough you're sure to get it sooner or later.

That wasn't as uplifting as it sounded in my head, but you know what I mean Wink

Very Happy

Anyway. I'm still smitten (smut?) with Portland, so it's Craigslist to the rescue!
