Day 16 - burger Wednesday

I started the day like any other:
  • Check job posting alerts (and apply for any matches)
  • Check e-mail
  • Catch up on tweets, LinkedIn and Facebook
  • Update blog
With my expanded searches, I am finding more potential jobs and sending out more resumes. This means it also takes a little longer as I tweak each cover letter (and sometimes the resume) for each position. One thing to remember here - if you make tweaks, make sure you save them. This way when/if you get a f2f interview, you are certain to take the same resume to that interview.

I met with a group of people from my last job for lunch - Burger Wednesday. It was good catching up. One of the folks there was another person who was laid off the same day I was. I am happy to hear that he is very deep into an interview process as well. I left realizing that I genuinely am going to miss those folks as I move on with my career. We all plan to stay in touch, but time has taught me that this is rarely the case.

They were all very supportive. This helped me to be in even more of a positive state of mind as I prepare for my final interview on Friday.

Tomorrow will be spent preparing for that interview.
