Title: Dream Job
Post by: KSUTOMMY on January 18, 2011, 12:43:41 PM
OK, since we now are officially out of sports to root for - I thought I would get something entirely different to talk about.

Mine: I am an artist, illustration and oil painting is what I do. I dabble in sculpture too, but if I could do it my way, I would move to Europe, drink wine and paint every day. Essentially, I work now so I can still get benefits and paint in my free time (whenever that is)

you all?

This is pretty great gig. I was thinking like a lonely planet writer or something of the sort, but magazine is probably better.

Brewmaster for a major brewing company.  I would hold the secret yeast ingredients that even the CEO would not know or have access to, and I would get to sample beer every day as a job.

No, I actually pick quality building/cooking material to start off.  I never grab a brown bunch of cilantro or a smelly pile of old shrimp and think to myself that they only need some TLC to make a high quality meal.

One of those people who has a tv show where they go all around the country to different restaurants and eat their food. Like drive ins diners and dives or whatever it's called. Only I wouldn't pretend like everything I eat is the greatest thing I've ever eaten. I wouldn't be afraid to call out mediocre food.

Had a call today that might lead to something pretty close to what I'd consider my "dream job".  Wish me luck motha-fuckaz.

Basically, just saw an opportunity where there really was none and went after it... You can easily do the same.  Passion and enthusiasm go a LONG way if you have logic to back it up.

So I'm pursuing a job, not necessarily a dream job but a good one. It is in a dream location tho, and would be a decent step up in the career dept. only problem is it's been 2 weeks and they haven't gotten through the 1st round of interviews! I initially followed up 4 days after I did a conference call interview. Then again today. They keep saying they have more initial candidates to talk to. Am I just being led on by a company too afraid to reject me? Definitely the longest I've ever had to wait for a 2nd interview/rejection.

they are not afraid to reject you. They may be having trouble getting everyone scheduled for the first interview. Don't over pursue. Maybe wait until early next week and ask again. If they respond the same way, then immediately follow up with asking them when they are planning on making a decision on the second interviews (or what ever they said the next step is).


Gonna win 'em all!
