New Job
It appears that as of tomorrow, I'll be gainfully employed again. At least, for the next few months. Got a call from a recruiter this morning saying he might have an interview for me as soon as today. The job is for an interactive agency which is led by a guy who I worked for 5 years ago in Detroit. But he said he'd have to call me back when he found out for sure.
When he did, here's how it went:
Recruiter: Ok, 9am tomorrow.
Me: You mean for the interview?
Recruiter: Nope, for work.
Me: WHAT?? Wow, holy crap!
They decided to skip right over the interview and hire me straight off! That's NEVER happened to me before. Apparently, the person they had before didn't work out and now they need someone. The guy hiring remembered me from our JWT days together, so looks like that someone is me! Yay for me! That's a record too, only having been out of work for 2 months. :-)
Moral of the story? Never burn your bridges! You never know WHEN your previous connections will come in handy.
