    BAM! the past 4 jobs i have held, i never interviewed for. everyone of them was on what my friends/contacts said about me. use your connections to your advantage, i know i sure have!

    currently doing a contract that was suppose to last 6 months.. $60 hr.. 40-60 week..

    it's almost 2 yrs now..

    it is who you know.. but after you get in the door, it's what you do..

    yes they offered a job, but in the end i told them after the 2nd "paycheck" i'd quit and move to another hospital.. they said thank you and that was 1.5 yrs ago..

Another buddy of mine is IT manager in another home builder talked to him yesterday and he use to work for the same company he said I should receive the call for interview this week so keeping my fingers crossed. Just sent him my resume.
