English grad has found a job in Atlanta - update Jan. 1

[RangerWickett]

A former supervisor at my college's library moved to a different position, and he is recommending me to replace him. The job opening went up last Tuesday, and I've been told to expect to hear back by next week Tuesday on whether I'll get an interview. Of course, an interview will be amusing, because I already know everyone at the library from working there four years during college, but at least I should have a good chance to get the job.

Also, I am quite impressed with how much more writing I get done per day when I'm unemployed. Still haven't sold anything fiction-wise, though. *grin*

Good luck Ranger!

Three letters Ryan. CDL. You'll never need look for a job again (They'll come begging to you).

 

[RangerWickett]

Mike, maybe you could elaborate on those three letters just a smidgen. What's CDL?

I can't help, being here in Italy and all. And I want to keep this short so as not to steal from you any valuable time you might use looking for a job.

But I'm in sales, and over here it's a terrible time - firms have no money and mostly no intention to buy what I sell (office machinery). I risk my job every day, every missed sale.

So I simply know the tension. And I thought (It WOULD for me) that it might be good for you to know you're not alone, and someone (surely someone else too, but add me to the list) is cheering and crossing his fingers for you.

Keep it up and hold on tight... it'll all work out.

Hope this isn't too useless and too silly...

My grandmother's family was from Italy. I consider it a good sign.

 

[Naathez]

Then Buona fortuna, amico mio.

My guess would be Commercial Driver License...

Plenty of different oportunities here, each with its pros and cons - long haul, short haul, bus, basically anything on the road that is owned by a company...

the man doesn't even have a car.

 

[RangerWickett]

Dude, I don't even have a bed. Futon all the way.

Maybe I could get a Rickshaw license.
