Except I saw a post he did today on how resumes will not [...]
My last post I mentioned getting a job at Etelos. Things have been going well since starting. I like the people I work with and what I am doing as a web developer.

It is something that takes time to complete by adding connections and getting recommendations. But there are [...]
Today, I went to a job fair at Qwest Field. Not much there as far is I’m concerned. I did get in contact with a recruiter that sounds like she may be able to help me find a job.
Also, I heard back from Amazon yet again today. I have a third phone screen interview scheduled [...]
You’ll have to excuse me for not posting much in the last few months. I have been busy but I just haven’t felt like posting either. I do plan on posting a lot in the near future. My life will be changing a lot over the next few months.
My wife and I have decided to [...]
