Well today I had an interview for a mobile ultrasound job and it was perfect. I am exactly what the company is looking for and I know I can do the job. They want someone that can be flexible in their schedule, no wife, no kids, someone that can be free to leave at any time and that is me. Not only would I be going to offices in south florida but I will also be flying all over the US. I have not left the state of Florida (in the US, I have been all over the Caribbean) , I have always wanted to see my country.

If I do get the job it will be a huge change obviously, most of the time i will be in Florida but I will have weeks where I travel. I have been on a plane once in my life, so it will be pretty fresh experience for me. Now that I maybe traveling all of a sudden portable gaming becomes hugely important. I wont be lugging my PS3 around with me, so do I need a PSP. I will get a 3DS for sure but I think I PSP would be nice as well. My problem with portables is that I never had a use for the portable aspect, it was just a different system. Things to think about. :P

Anyway I am very excited, I seem to be the perfect candidate. But as Yoda's blog once said he had the perfect interview and didn't get the job. Whatever happens it was nice to actually have a damn interview, I have not been able to get through the evil HR department front desk at hospitals. Now to celebrate I will go out, get drunk, have a one night stand with some chick... nah I am a super dork, I will celebrate by playing one of my new favorite games. :)

If you don't get this job it's the biggest fucking tease I've ever heard from an employer.



He seemed very impressed but he never once said or even hinted at it being a sure bet to me directly. I don't see it as teasing. The school is the one teasing me with behind the scenes info.

Golden Tip number 4

If you do not get the job ask them for the reasons. You are looking for things that you can do better next time. Also if you can't find any other job and this is your last hope, ask them about similar positions, either at the same company or another one. If they are as impressed in you as they say they are, they will know that you do actually need a job. They might know other positions or people. Remember it is not about 'What you know', but 'Who you know.' Use this opportunity to build your network. Social networking is important if you want to get a good job, not everyone is sexy and charming as me.

So yeah just got the call, during an important cutscene in ME2, of course I cant pause the damn game.  Well that is one of those calls where its worth missing a cutscene for. Nyaa

I have the job, training begins tomorrow! Step two, don't screw up.

I was going to offer that as well, but I figured they would not contact you directly to give you the bad news.

In the past I have turned away people for a postion but hired them later for a different position -- or if the person I hired doesn't work out I've gone back to the second person and given them the job.

If they do actually call you, remember that it is just as an uncomfortable situation for the caller as it is for you, by asking some of the questions Iga suggested you make it easier on them and you can then use this to your advantage.

Well my advice above stands for the rest of you.

FUCKING AWESOME VADER!  Congrats!  Time to fish out that social security card and ID (you do have ID right, you didn't float over from Cuba, eh?)

LOL, hopefully not. I am still very single and probably wont be looking seriously for another year or so until I get my life in order. I think I can manage work and play. Nyaa

That's right, you'll be travelling, so between the DS and PSP you'll get plenty of time to play.
