I had a phone interview with a major women’s health/public health and education non-profit yesterday. I JUST got an email asking me for an in person interview on Friday. This is EXCELLENT. Also, the pay is right and the benefits are, as far as I can tell so far, in the ballpark.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, everyone!

I got an email yesterday afternoon. I’ve been invited to a phone interview next week with a major non-profit I’d been hoping to hear from. Keep your fingers crossed!

Geoff here – quite a bit has happened this past week, and next week also promises to be interesting. I have a job interview Monday for an IT Security Analyst position at a prominent university here in the Boston area. I already had a phone interview with them and it went rather well, so I am hopeful about getting this job. We’ll see.
In other news, I am almost finished with my internship for the Cambridge Police Department, and I am wrapping up my projects that I was doing there. Just yesterday I finally took and passed the CompTIA Network+ exam, which is fantastic in itself but it is even better now since it means that my certification will be for life, and I will not have to take that test again ever.
Also, Kelly and I were both very happy to see that DADT was repealed and that our often misguided junior Senator, Scott Brown, actually voted to repeal it. Thank goodness for common sense finally winning the day.
I apologize for not sending out cards or gifts for the kids this year, but until we are both employed again we have had to tighten the belt a bit. We will make up for it, believe me.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and a happy new year, in case I have not posted again by then.

So, the last job that I interviewed for I was all excited about. I had a 2nd interview, they seemed interested in me… and then they didn’t call. I finally emailed them to let them know that I’d been laid off and that if I was still a candidate for the position that I was available immediately. I got an email back 2 hours later rather tersely letting me know I was no longer a candidate for the position.
OK. Good thing I had interviewed for another position that I am extremely interested in and that yesterday I got emailed to set up a phone interview for yet another position. Special thanks to commenter Tewi for the suggestions on my resume, I used them. So, two potential irons in the fire at the moment and both are great options.
Keep your appendages crossed for me, folks.

I have a 2nd interview today at 2:00pm. This is for a non-profit that I *really* want to work with doing something that I’d be really good at. So, keep your appendages crossed and send your good thoughts my way at 2:00 if you can. Thanks, everyone!

Fingers crossed folks! I won’t say where, but I am very much looking forward to it. I’ll post here once something happens either way.

Geoff here – I completed my first IT certification today. I am now A+ Certified, i.e. an official computer repair technician.
