Job search - Good news!

[Crookshanks]

Well guys - I found a job and I start tomorrow. I registered with AccounTemps on December 18th, and they already found me a GREAT job!

It's with Dyncorp International - they do MAJOR military contracts and I'll be working in the billing department, making sure everything is correct and according to contract.

And to all you who thought I was a loser - they were so impressed with my resume that they hired me without even doing an interview!

Good pay, good benefits - and I'll be working a job that helps support our military - can't ask for better than that. :toast

Umm, don't know your history but getting a job is always good.

[I. Hustle]

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

[Bukefal]

Congratulations!

Sucks for Dyncorp. Too bad they didn't know what they were getting.

I want a new f'n job! All I have is about 10 years banking experience though and I don't want to be in banking anymore.
Are the Spurs hiring? I can rebound a little and shoot 3's. If nothing else I am good for 6 fouls.

where's AshB at?

[DPG21920]

No offense, but what company hires someone without an interview?

[mrsmaalox]

where's AshB at?

This is her allotted "cover page designing" time.

On the other end of that, I have a nephew that had to go back three fucking times for a minimum wage job.

WTF?

[koriwhat]

This is her allotted "cover page designing" time.

:lol

[admiralsnackbar]

Apparently we don't see eye-to-eye on anything except that this is good news :lol

Congrats.

[ashbeeigh]

This is her allotted "cover page designing" time.

indeed, it was. Congrats though, Crookshanks! That's awesome.

Just watch out when Skynet goes live. Shit is going to hit the fan.

I got the job thru AccounTemps - so I interviewed with them. This company is a good client of AccounTemps and they trust their recommendations.

However, it is a temp-to-perm job, so they'll have a chance to evaluate my work before they make me permanent.

I'll be working in the billing department, and part of my job will entail analyzing the bills and making sure they conform to the contract. And this company has some big contracts - $77 million for one and another one for $20 million - and those are just a couple that were listed on press releases.

[Crookshanks]

And thanks for all the good wishes. I'm very thankful for this job and the almost unheard of luck to have only been unemployed for 2 1/2 weeks. In this current economy, I'm very fortunate.

[blkroadrunners]

Congrats dude. Job searching myself.

[RGMCSE]

Congrats on the new job! But Dyncorp is shady dude. http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=11119

Congratulations! Good luck on going permanent! :tu

[Halle Berry]

probably she looks so gorgeously beautiful even her photos were magnificent enough to make the employers hire her without some interviews, which are often basically necessary especially in such lame economy. congrats anyway, though the OP surely is nowhere near how beautiful I am.

If you really want a job with the spurs you need an education. Go to the Jack Haley school of towel waving management.

LOL. My dad has his own business called SKIE (pronounced sky) consulting, the letters stand for our initials. His home network is called SkieNet. My dad is cool.

[Leetonidas]

I thought this thread was gonna be about ashbeeigh. Then I noticed it said "Good news!" and I assumed the OP got a job so I already knew it wasn't right away.

[angel_luv]

Congrats! :)

[CosmicCowboy]

It's a conspiracy. The conservatives get all the good jobs.

[tlongII]

Congrats Crookshanks! Did you get severance from your previous job? If so, you are probably living large for a little while! :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Congratulations to anyone (regardless of political persuasion) who can find a new job rapidly in this crap economy.

[lebomb]

Congrats!!! Hope it turns into a permanent position.

[Kori Ellis]

Congrats and good luck with the new job.

[ploto]

Congratulations! I hope it all works out well.

I would be a little concerned, though, that maybe there is something they did not want you to see before you accepted the job.

[Crookshanks]

Congrats Crookshanks! Did you get severance from your previous job? If so, you are probably living large for a little while! :lol

Yeah - I got 8 weeks, plus my remaining PTO paid out. I also still have my last retention bonus coming this month. But, I'm keeping most of it in savings.
