So my wife reminded me I needed to bring down my resume out there... I had it on so many places going to take a lot of time tomorrow to get them all down Why do you need to take it down? (Honest question I haven't done this in quite a while and never did the online thing.)

Drama, how do you manage the incoming calls for DH? "Uh sorry this is his wife and I'll let him know." Or do you just not answer? ETA: sorry I didn't mean this snarky though I'm sure that's how it came across. DH works from home a lot and he often forwards his work phone to the house line. When he forgets to turn off the forwarding I get some calls from his colleagues that I know and it's a bit weird even then. Thus my question. Depends. If it goes to voicemail I just pass on the message. If I answer I say I'm his wife, I carry the phone since DH can't have it on the floor. I'll pass on the message. Never had an issue with it. Everywhere DH has worked has the same policy regarding phones on the floor.

(Honest question I haven't done this in quite a while and never did the online thing.) I don't have to but she feels it would be safe in case my new company look me up they do not think I am still Job searching (resume is public on a few sites). I can leave it up but at least make it private so not everyone can see it unless I apply for a job ( ex: HT and a few other companies contacted me vs me applying for a job with them).

Honestly, I think so many people forget to take their stuff down. It didn't even cross my mind when I got my job so I guess moves is still up.
It's kinda like a fair number of people don't take their dating profile down when they get in a relationship. Though you can tell by their last login whether they forgot or are purposefully keeping it up! Lol

I got a job. It's part-time contract work with no benefits, but it is still a job. This is actually a good job for me right now because I can work from home and sign up for as much or as little work as I want. It won't interfere with our plan to move, and I can keep doing it after we move while I look for something full-time out there. The pay isn't great, but it's enough for a job that I can do at home in my pajamas with a cat in my lap.

I'm going for a second interview for the underwriting job I really wanted next week. I'm also going to interview for the training/managing job next week. If I get offered both of them, I don't know what I'll do.

Would it be UW for a direct writer or standards? personal or commercial? I think that makes a big difference, especially with the market as it is.

I shouldn't say underwriting, it's more knowing where to place the business. It's about 30 miles from home, good benefits and a 40 hour work week and decent pay. Commercial lines. As of right now, no opportunity for advancement. The other one is mentoring and training and managing agents. I've always wanted to do that. Benefits paid for employee only, so I'd have to pay for the girls. Around 5 miles from my house and in another state, so there will be tax considerations. Would be long hours and an irregular work week. After 2 years I could advance to district manager if I wanted to, but I don't have to.

What a day... Today is orientation day! On a break now so posting...
One thing for sure my friend and I only got hired because of our connection to the VP of Merchandizing (used to be CEO at another company).
I am so fucking glad I named dropped and reached out to my friend that has a personal relationship with the guy.
My other friend that got hired; his dad that is now the VP of Deli/FS merchandising used to work for that guy in the past (and learned today they actually texted each other when he saw my friend's name) had a direct line to him and was a shoe in.
Good thing: he did remember me... And I made clear my intentions to move on up and not to be a lifetime store manager!

Just got done, in my car now.
Found out the store I am going to after my training is done!
One thing: reinforced the idea that you need to establish relationships as you move up in this world because sometimes it is not what you know but who you know!

So is the store you are going to the one you want? It's going to be made to work out. Carl makes lemonade out of lemons. So even if it wasn't the store, it WILL be the store!
