Job Hunt Update - Here's

Job Hunt Update - Here's the rundown:

Good News - Lileks urged America to hire me. (Thanks, James!)
Bad News - America's hiring managers apparently didn't read today's Bleat. Yet.

Good News - I've apparently done a great job of marketing myself as a Human Factors person. I got no fewer than six phone calls today.
Bad News - All six phone calls were for the same job.
Good News - Everyone agrees - I'd be perfect for the job.
Bad News - The job is in West Valley City, Utah.
Good News - I have experience as a remote contractor!
Bad News - So do they. All bad. It's either move to WVCUT or pass on teh gig. Hence, I'm passing.

Good News - Great interview yesterday with a local financial services company for a great gig.
Great News - One of the people I interviewed with told my recruiter I'd be a "great fit for our company".
Back To Earth News - That was the HR person. The actual hiring manager hasn't given feedback yet.
Bad News - No news today, and none expected for two weeks.

Good News - Should be hearing about a job tomorrow.
Bad News - They've said that about every deadline so far. They've not hit one of them yet. And while I know I did great with three of the interviewers, including a co-founder, the other co-founder was a very tough nut to crack.

Good News - I got feedback today from an interview I had last week, via another recruiter. Now, the interview felt generally good when I left the building, although there were some wierd vibes from the interviewer. I chalked these up to either a) paranoia on my part, or b) the interviewer being a passive-aggressive little weasel with a bad case of LGS
Bad News - It was b.

Open Letter to Hugh Hewitt's Producers - I see that Lileks had to pass on your call for a substitute host.

So have your people call my people, k?

(Note to non-radio people: Yeah, that's what you call a long shot. But if you saw how I got my first talk show gig, you'll realize, as I do, that no shot is too long).
