Just an FYI to all Family and Friends that have stopped reading this due to my lack of keeping it up to date. I have landed a new job at a local machine building facility. I will be starting Wednesday October 8th, 2008. I was laid off less one month ago. I'm very excited to start my new career. My new title is Process Technician which sounds close to Prototype Technician but are very different. I will train on first shift for a couple of months then move over to 2nd, which is currently 2 til midnight but normally 4 til midnight. After a year or so (or more) of training and if I pick up, understand and know the machines I will then be traveling w/ them to their new homes (in the states and abroad) and them get them running and sometimes train the employee's that will be using them (machines). To get to this level takes years, but this is what's mainly involved after the training.
This position feels very grown up compared to my last job of making Signal Mirror samples and doing installs. That job was fun at first due to all the learning and making neat things for cars. For whatever reason this new job seems awe fully grown up, which is cool. This all seems to (so far) be working out like it was planned.
I do know several people at the new place that definitely helped me land this, but I'm giving myself mad props for putting together a very decent resume and cover letter. I also feel like I did very well at the interview process. This job was my second job offer.
All that's left to do is everything.
Sorry for not staying more current but I was a bit busy job hunting, biking, rebuilding the Triumph, working on the house, cleaning the garage, tool shopping.
I'll try to drop a line more often now.
Thanks for all that said a little prayer for us...good things happen to good people.
