That's wonderful news! I'm starting a new job on Monday as well. Although it's not ultimately what I want and it won't pay much, something is better than nothing, plus it will pay the bills and help me purchased a used car so I can go back to community college.

Hi Synopsis, do you mind telling us what worked. Was it networking, a particular job site, a friend, etc..??

and yes, congratulations for a job search well done.

Starhawk, congratulations to you! gea, as far as what worked, it was primarily my skillset I believe. These people want me to write for them and I convinced them that I could perform better than the other competitors.

It's a challenging position, but I can perform and meet their deadlines.

Thanks everyone!

I start on Tuesday of next week. It'll be good to make some money again, even though it is quite a pay cut from what I was making before. It'll still pay the bills.
