The bad news is that I didn't quite qualify for the
first position I applied for, they needed someone
who knows the AS400 mainframe. I've heard of
the system and that is the extent of my knowledge.

The good news: I've been called back to schedule
an interview for another position that has opened
up that is more in line with my skills and knowledge.

More to come on this story.

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY, CONSULTANT IS HERE ALL WEEK..try the veal and
remeber that tiping is not a city in China....

I'm not sure how I will react if I hear that in an interview...

Hey...good luck on the interview! Hope you land the job!
And think of the opportunity you will have to LEARN the
AS400 stuff (OJT). That will round out your abilities
marvelously.

The interview will be next Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2004 at 1:00 pm CDT.
They are looking for an Wintel Workstation/M$ Network Tech.

The pay is 35K to 37K. If I get it, I will no longer need to drive
that 100 mile round trip to work every day.
