Fingers crossed for Mike (Cobra)

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

Mike is trying to change departments within his company (still an engineer, but moving away from assembly engineering).
This should also result in a raise.

He's been long overdue for a pay increase and a change in duties, so send all your good thoughts his way, please!

Wo0+!!!1!
go mikey, go mikey, its not your birthday but do it anyway!!

then i can can take over your old job!

best of luck

I just tried this with going to Pratt and my Supervisor shot it down, I need to look into some things but quiting my job in hope of being made an offer is to risky for me at the moment.

good luck mikey!

Sending thoughts right now... *good thoughts*

I'll put in another good word for you, Elky!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee11

Good luck Mike!

Good luck Mike!

I'm doing the phone interview game now .. it's so frustrating. I don't like using the phone - I'd much rather go and chat with people onsite. I spoke with HR at one company an hour ago for a phone screening; have a phone interview tomorrow with a manager at that company, and then maybe if I'm deemed worthy I get to interview with them in Cambridge.

good luck!
i'm on the hunt again too.

i just got transfered from Boston projects to project in the "Lakes" region (PA, OH, IN, MI). not sure i'm into the travel, so i'm searching for development jobs.

Best of luck Mike. Fingers crossed. Keep us posted.

Good Luck, Mike!

Good luck, Mike!

Ditto. I had one in March and you realize how much facial expressions are part of communication. That said, the phone interview is just to make sure you're not a head-case, and therefore shouldn't be a problem for you.

interesting that you say this, I only had aphone interview for my current job, but they were the only ones that asked me questions about what I learned and those questions relate directly to what I am doing at work

Wishing you luck Mike.

My fingers are crossed . Good luck , Mike (and Elky , by proxy

) !

Crosses fingers! Good luck!

good luck man

They set him up with an official interview schedule for next Tuesday, so things are progressing pretty well thusfar.
woot!

Thanks all!

Sweetness!

Walter Payton?

edit: lol I get it. "sweetness" was his nickname.

Perhaps it's industry-related... But now that I'm mulling it a bit more, I'm applying for positions in groups looking for someone who's subspecialty-trained in dermatopathology, a one-year training which I haven't started yet, so I guess the groups can't really ask me that much over the phone...

At this point, I really have nothing to show for my subspecialty training, yet hiring decisions will be made on the expectation that I'll complete the training in a satisfactory manner.

I'm not complaining, though -- the group that held the phone interview is inviting me for a visit.

Yet another reasowhy I'm going through all this grief to change careers, and not a moment too soon.....I wish Mike luck-let me know if he ever needs a professional reference, I would be more than happy to provide one.

Bummer.
