While the guys toil away on IGotNewsForYou, I've been on the job hunt... Yesterday, I came upon a position advertised in our newspaper that suited me to a tee. I quickly adapted my cover letter and fired off my resume to their HR department. As it turns out a former colleague of mine now has a fairly senior position at this very large organization. I emailed him for advice and any help that he could provide. He responded very quickly (always appreciated), and said he took the liberty of contacting someone that I had worked with more closely in our former organization, who apparently complimented me all over the place (and why wouldn't they?!?!). My former colleague then spoke to his HR department and suggested they give me every consideration...stay tuned, folks. (Technorati Tags: finding a job)
