Month: November 2004

I just got a call from Rupert at Veritude. The bank isn’t interested in me. First, I don’t have the large environment experience they want. Second, they think I’m better for more application support roles. Part of that is because I’ve been doing a lot of development work the past year. I’m disappointed, but not… Continue reading No Bank

I got a call this morning from Rob Wall from Motis this morning. Shaw’s, the grocery store chain, wants to do a phone interview Monday morning at 10:00. They only want to do fifteen minutes to make sure they want to bring me up for a face-to-face, which will probably be later in the week.… Continue reading Shaw’s

I just found the mail migration job posted on Monster. You’ll find it here. I’m really hoping that the job at the bank comes through, though.

I just spent a few hours moving my site from Nucleus to MovableType. This software is a little more powerful, and the data structures were surprisingly similar. It wasn’t much of a challenge to my SQL skills.

I got a call from Rachel Besch at Veritude/Fidelity (401-734-6054). She’s the on-site account manager at the Bank. They want to do a phone interview tomorrow morning. Well, she thought Friday would be good, but I’m going to court to fight a speeding ticket. The manager is Steven Tartaglia, and I’m expecting his call Thursday… Continue reading Interview and Project

I got a call from Andrew at Apex this afternoon. We talked for a few minutes. It sounds like he has an Exchange project on the horizon for me. He said he’d drop me an e-mail so I could send him my resume. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back from him. A little later, I got… Continue reading Four

I got a call from Rupert English at Veritude/Fidelity. The bank wants to set up a phone interview. He said to expect a call from Rachel Bish. She’s their on-site account manger at the bank.
