First off - I'm not the right guy to comment, but... Job market might be different. Perception, could be that you've risen to a higher level where less opportunities exist. Which is with a curious smile - an ironic compliment.
I was impressed by your resume, your portfolio, and your personality as manifested on your website. What are the jobs you would like to be considered for? from "the job" to "THE job" working backwards might be your answer. Eric Story. I was laid off from a dotCA startup. Our investor cut our funding, but threw our names into the HR pool for the their company. I received a phone during my first week off for an interview, unfortunately i was out and by the time I called back, they had filled the last interview spot. (but there would be another opportunity to interview in a month or two. pssshhhh yeah right.) So i probed for some info, and found out there was a possible cancelation I could fill - not waiting for confirmation I went down on spec. Sure enough, there was time to squeeze me in. (Please note: I'm not a bored guy - I can keep myself amused. and just a few days past a stressful job ending - I was abuzz with activity, enthusiasm and energy.) - during the interview - I did all the talking - I was good. I was progressive, driven and all that stuff. And then he told what the job was - a mainframe data operator. I didn't get it. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Warrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 2:00 PM To: CF-Jobs Subject: Request for Resume Evaluation OK this is going to sound odd, but, would anyone care to comment on my approach to getting a job? I've got three versions of my resume that you can find on my personal site: the summary, the chronological history with projects details, and the technical skills summary. The personal site is here: http://www.warrick.net. A couple years ago, I used to get a couple calls a week with job offers. Then I went off and did the freelance thing and then my father and I go into the ZapConnect co-venture. I searched around for job titles describing what I do everyday and my level of investment and responsibility with ZapConnect. The only one that really matched up with CTO. But maybe that's one reason why I'm not getting any calls! I'm lucky to get one call a month now. I've had interviews and I get mixed reactions so it's tough to pinpoint what might be the problem. I've never heard, "Sorry, you're just not qualified for the job.", so what's the deal? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. ======================================================== Mark Warrick, CTO - ZapConnect.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-771-5782 / 714-667-0203 / Efax: 801-730-7289 http://www.warrick.net / http://www.zapconnect.com ICQ: 125160 AIM: markwarric Yahoo: Serengeti ======================================================== ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_jobs or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
