Well, after three months since being laid off and spending WAY too much time with you fawkers, I sent in my acceptance letter on an offer from Dell Computers this AM, I'll be a Project Manager in their Latin American segment, specifically for the Caribbean region. I start next Monday, tomorrow I gotta go take a piss test, I hope the poppy seed roll I had with dinner last night doesn't throw off the results! :flipoff2:

I'll still be around, but the learning curve for this job is short and I won't have access to PBB from work, I'll have to check in late at night when I get back.

FWIW, my 13-week job search was a very frustrating experience; the job market is very soft, both in my field and in the geographical areas of my preference. Despite working with a head hunter in Phoenix, I couldn't find a SINGLE solid lead there, even though it was my top destination and I targeted it pretty agressively. Thankfully it paid off, I was running out of options and money was getting very tight.

To those of you who are still looking, chin up, keep plugging, be absolutely shameless about asking for a contact or a job opportunity, and be prepared to consider a relocation. Stay on it, stay focused, it's going to happen!!

Cheers and Good luck!

Congrads!

I wish you luck there!
:D

Congrats! hope it works out for the best.

After that many weeks off I would be COMPLETELY WORTHLESS:D

1. So, you're relocating to Jamaica?

2. You will fail the piss test. Tell 'em about the muffin, and they'll let you slide.

3. You telling me DELL doesn't have access to the internet?

:eek:

EDIT: Congrats, mon!
EDIT 2: :rasta:

That's a good deal man! I know tons of people that have worked for Dell in many different segments. They all have nothing but good things to say about working for them. In fact, in most cases my friends that no longer work there have used the experience at Dell as a springboard for bigger and better things.

YEEHAAA!!! Damn good news, glad to hear it HENRY!

Get out there and PIMP those machines....

For the rest of you... keep you eyes on www.slickdeals.net Once in a while they will list a sweet deal on the Dell machine (grabbed a couple of them... nothing like a $229 server!... funny is to see folks resell them on eBay for $400! :D

Tom :usa:

Congrats! That sounds like a nice position. Watch those poppy seeds! I saw a show that indicated they showed positive on several drug tests, although the guys had to eat like 6 bagels. :laughing:
