I felt all "f*ck you, pay me". They replied with "$X + $$$$ (like whoa $) + promotion". Now, I'm a happy camper. Time to knock the wife up to celebrate.

Steve9347 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's weird to not be wanting a new job anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 So I have my first interview in about a year tomorrow, I was originally hoping to just get an offer and using that to get a raise at current job but now I'm so anxious to leave where I'm at I don't think I will even give them that chance. Anyway, oddly enough my company delivers coffee/plates/etc to the company and I'm not sure if I should even bring that up. If I have never backordered them any items and they are happy with our services it could be a positive but being the warehouse/purchasing manager if we have given them bad service that could reflect poorly on me.

cabiness42 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's weird to not be wanting a new job anymore. I've wanted a new job for a few years now and today is my best opportunity to date. Have an initial phone interview with a company in Northern Indiana. I have a cousin whose aunt works in HR at the company and a co-worker of my stepmother is good friends with the guy I'm interviewing with.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I got an email from a hiring manager for a position I applied to asking if I was available for an interview. I replied and haven't heard back. That was 10 days ago... What is that all about?? In my brief experience, when an employer contacts your for an interview, they set one up days after.

In my experience - employers have tons and tons and tons of things going on and dick people around and following up is difficult for them with the massive influx of s*** that hits their desks. Interviewing/looking for a job is just s***ty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of mobile home/prefab home/RV makers out there, and they got hit really hard by the recession. I've taken the tours through a lot of the factories around there that make the camping trailers. This is completely anecdotal but it seems like the whole camping industry went down for a while but is starting to pick up again. I know of quite a few people that have bought campers within the last couple of years. Two of them were brand-new 2013 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of college buddies from the area, and I had a prof who was a CEO of one of those pre-fab housing companies. It really is a nice area, as long as you don't mind horse and buggies.

cabiness42 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The company I'm interviewing with is not RV-related. I'm not sure I'd make the move for an industry that recession-prone. I grew up only 25 miles from Elkhart so I'm pretty familiar with the area. Not sure exactly where we'd live if I do get the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see anyone looking for work in those areas I'll forward the links. Also, Lombard probably isn't a hotspot for young marketing professionals, that may steer people away.
