Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004I have an "appointment" at 1:30 Central Time
Might have gotten a bite on a job for QA Testing. I usually disregard emails which result from my posting my resume. But I checked out the web site after reading the local job info he sent me; looks like a stable placement company. I called and left him a message and also emailed a reply. The guy called me back within 30 minutes. He had to go meet a client (laughing - it's lunchtime in U.S. Eastern time so either he's lunching with the client or he just wanted to eat lunch!). He's going to call me back at 1:30 Central time to discuss the position. No fees on my end; the client pays all placement fees. I'm *not* getting my hopes up. I've had so little luck with anything, even jobs in shops. But I sure could use some purrs! Jill Mega job purrs headed your way over the next several hours, Jill.

I really, really hope you get the job! The software QA market right now is good, I think. I have a friend who is in manufacturing QA, and he can't find work, but the people I know who are in software QA are getting offers left and right. I think there is a lot of room there for advancement too, if you happen to pick up formal SQA processes. > Might have gotten a bite on a job for QA Testing.

I am purring my bestest (an my Mommy would too, if she could purr). Mimi is purring, too, even though she doesn't feel good. And Ernie won't *stop* purring!

We had a "phone interview"... I dunno. I've learned not to get my hopes up. He had several other candidates to talk with and then talk to his client to see who he might want to meet with. Unfortunately, working 11 years for the same company I seem to have boxed myself into a corner. I don't have the experience with various testing software most companies are looking for. I do have excellent testing and documentation skills and learn new software with ease but at my salary level... they'd rather hire someone right out of college if they have to train them. The man didn't say this but I KNOW - been there done that. John, my long lost, hopes I don't have to find a job at all. But he's right out of the hospital (the surgery for diverticulitis is more troublesome than his heart bypass surgery last winter!) and we won't be working together for a while. I have to keep my kitty and bird and myself fed and housed. And I hate to ask him for anything. It's starting to get scary. Jill > We had a "phone interview"... I dunno.

They need very critical, fault-finding personalities. :) The good ones look for people who can buck the system a little. >> John, my long lost, hopes I don't have to find a job at all.

I think a QA tester would be perfect for you. It's fun because they get to go bug other people instead of the other way around, like with tech support. > John, my long lost, hopes I don't have to find a job at all.

Over the last few years I've specialized in writing web applications in Perl and in C where necessary (been programming in C since the 70s, in Perl since the mid-90s). Now all the domestic jobs doing that are getting farmed out to overseas outfits. That's why I'm now driving a truck. But there ARE good jobs still out there. We'll send our absolute best purrs that this is one of them, and that they figure out that they need you. Dan >> John, my long lost, hopes I don't have to find a job at all.

I'm still working as an Executive Assistant (and doing their web site in ASP "on the side" - yeah right!!). Hugs, CatNipped >But there ARE good jobs still out there.
