First day with my resume out there:

[ThomCat]

I have all my references current and verified, including one senior VP from a fortune 500 company (so far).

A headhunter is already finding interviews for me in positions that look good, and pay better than what I'm getting now.

Wow. This is moving quickly. :)

Thank you all for your support. :hi:

13. "Oh, I'm out there Jerry"

"And I'm LOVING every minute of it!!!" Kramer

[ThomCat]

16. I don't know that I'm loving it.

I like my current job. I just don't like the stagnant pay and being taken for granted. :(

All things considered, I'd rather they make it worth my while to stay. But if I end up going I'm going to make the best of it and enjoy whereever I end up going. :)

20. stagnant pay does not bother me

I worked for so long at $7 and $8 an hour that I can stagnate at $12 for a long time without being bothered. In fact, I sorta took a paycut down to $10 when I switched to part time, as well as cutting my income in half. In my first job with the Air Force, they offered me 3 straight promotions in order to keep me, but I really did not want more money - I wanted more time off.

[ThomCat]

22. My current job is billable hours

so there is no time off. I'm almost guaranteed to get more time off at any job I find. That is definitely a serious perk to consider.

[BarenakedLady]

14. Excellent

I wish you all the best.

:yourock:

[ThomCat]

17. Awww...

:blush:

Thank you! :hug:

[plcdude]

18. What are you using

to post your resume?

[ThomCat]

21. I haven't posted it yet. I'm using a headhunter.

I know the VP at one headhunting firm, and that firm has a very, very good reputation for technology management placements. I'm giving them first shot at placing me.

I called this morning, and I already have an interview scheduled with a major NYC real estate management company at 9am on Monday! :)

I love headhunters. They get paid by whomever hires me so I have nothing to lose, and they have all the incentive to get me in front of people.
