Near the end of October I started to look for a new job. On October 25th Bill Evjen posted to his blog how Microsoft has it's own section on Monster.com and the focus that was put on him and his job at Reuters. Naturally I had to check out this section of Monster.com.
As I was looking at the page I saw a job opening for a .Net developer....6 miles away from my house!
Two things have been really bugging me with my current job....1. I wasn't doing any programming .....2....the commute (total of 64 miles a day).
So I sent in my resume. November 1st I received an email from the company who I had sent my resume. November 4th I went on an interview. November 5th the person I interviewed with informed that they are sending resume on to the next phase. November 9th I receive another email, for a second interview. November 10th I go on the second interview, later on in the day I receive a phone call at home...with a job offer.
I start my new job November 22nd.
Thanks Bill!
