I sent my resume this morning, got a reply within half an hour, interviewed an hour or so later for an hour and a half and was offered the job four hours later.

I took the job! I'm so excited, this seems to be a job for the rest of my life!

Benefits are the best I've ever seen and it pays just slightly less than I was making previously. It is a BIG company that sells and repairs copiers called Imagistics.

So, so happy! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mark

I guess congratulations are in order then. :D

Well done, Mark. I'm impressed with your resolve, since I congratulate myself every time I manage to worm out of getting a job.

Congratulations! I'm so thrilled for you - best of luck! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Congratulation Skywalker. Enjoy your new job. :D

Congratulations Skywalker, sounds wonderful! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Congrat's Skywalker hope you like the new job [img]smile.gif[/img]

Mark, as I said in the other topic, many congratulations mate!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Well done! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
When do you start?

Aledrain, thanks, I just choked on my morning tea. Writing my essay on Psychoanalysis (I kid you not) will be so much more fun now! :D

Well done Mark - I know how long you have been looking buddy, so I am pleased that things are looking up for you.

I start tomorrow, which was sooner than I expected, but fine by me! They seem to be a great company and this may be a job I can stick with for a long time.

6 sick days and 2 personal days/year
10 paid holidays/year
10 vacation days/year
401k retirement plan (company match up to 6%)
Health, dental, optical insurance after 30 days.
75% reimbursement for college courses - 100% towards a business degree.
No more ties... I can wear jeans and sweatshirts!

And about 3 months ago I applied for a job at a company call Symquest to fix printers and copiers. I had the experience and background for the job they posted, but never got a reply. An hour and half after I accepted the job with Imagistics I get a call asking me to interview with them (Symquest). It was really satisfying to say I had already accepted a job working for their competition!

Sometimes I win! :D

Mark

Good for you [img]smile.gif[/img]
Good luck tomorrow then, and have fun!

<font color=lime>Good job man! Sounds great, good luck! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] </font>

Congrats!
Enjoy it... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Seems like your new job has some great perks, Mark. You've been very lucky, all in all. It's hard to find a decent position here in New England these days.

And Mel, I'm happy to have contributed to the field of psychoanalysis in my own oblivious little way. It's a subject I'm fiercely passionate about and so strive to aid the development of essays concerning it as often as humanly possible. Or something. ;) :D

Bück dich aber jetzt noch ein mal - sex hat 'ne positive auswirking auf schriftliche creativität, und wir in Rammstein haben 'ne "pleasure before business" mentalität, gel. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Today is the big first day. I kept waking up from 2:30 until I finally got out of bed at 4:30. Hopefully I'll be able to get a good night's sleep soon!

I went to the website for the company and I finally realized how big the company is. I've always seemed to worked for little businesses that were about to file for bankruptcy. This ought to be a refreshing change.

I was told the job was fast paced and I would need to do a bit of multitasking. This will be a welcome change since at my previous job I was usually looking for something to do!

Maybe I'll get some good exercise at work as well as biking at home! ;)

Mark

Good luck on your first day and CONGRATS on finding a job that looks like you'll be happy with it! [img]graemlins/balloons.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Congrats on the new job! May it work out well and long for you.

Now get some sleep, and let us know how it went [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tough first day. Lots of resposibility, new software and procedures to learn....massive headache by the end of the day. Try it all again tomorrow. I expect it to get much easier as I catch on to their system.
;)

Mark

Congrats again, Mark! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

You know the only downside is that now your's will count as one of the jobs created in March/April by the administration. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Mark that's fantastic! Awesome stuff mate. Congratulations and good luck.

Congrats and may the Force be with you. :D

Congrats!

Johnny and Kakero, you have been charged with the overuse of the :D smiley. It was completely unnecessary in both and in fact plain wierd in your post Kakero. When you overuse something it becomes worthless. :D is only for cheeky jokes or comments. :D

:D

Thanks for all the good words.

My second day was much better than the first (no pounding head ache)! There's really a lot to learn and a lot that has and can go wrong. So I need to really get up to speed and stay focused.

The last person in the job lasted a month and the one before him, a year. I'm going to try to stay a little longer, like 20 years. :D

After only 2 days, I'm happy to have 2 days off. How will survive 5 days in a row? ;)


Mark

Stick with it!! You can do it!! :D

Skywalker... welcome to the darkside. ;)

Congratulations. I'm sure that you'll get the hang of everything right quick. And then you'll realize after a few years that it's time for the next goal: move up.

Good luck!
