Naturally Rolling

I just got done working out at C.A.N.I boot camp at Milpitas High. It is an organization that started with friends trying to get in shape for Vegas. I'M GOING TO VEGAS in 3 weeks. SHIIIIIT. Well yeah, I feel really good right now. I guess you can say part of it is from the high that you get after working out. But also, I know that my life is starting to fall into place. Keyword is starting. That means I still have to guide it in the right direction and just do me.

A few days ago Corey, the recruiter from Aerotek called me back. It has been close to a month with no news from him. The last time I spoke with him he said that Cemex was interested in me coming in for a third interview. I never followed up. But, yeah so he called me out of the blue and in his words, "they are still highly interested in you." He set up the date and time. Today, he called me again checking in with me if I'm ready and everything. Going over the little details about everything. Interview at 3PM tomorrow at the Cemex plant in Santa Clara.Wish me luck!

This whole time, I thought Tonix Corporation was fucking with me. They took forever doing everything because they are a small company and understaffed right now. I finally heard news today that suggests I'm getting hired. I mean, they put me through a lot of interviews and whatnot already, and even with the whole "We would like to move forward with checking your references" email I still doubted myself. And I continued to doubt myself when they didn't reply with anything after. And after discovering that my emails have been going to the manager's spam box, Sunny still got no reply. (PULLL HAIRRRRR IN FRUSTRATION). But then I recontacted them today and they said, "I had very good chats with both of your Sheraton contacts  yesterday. I discussed everything with Mike, who is traveling and will be returning today. He will be in touch shortly." Now I'm confident that I will get the job. I mean, shooooooot if I don't get it then I'll be darned.


Ideally, I would get job offers at about the same time so I have leverage and can haggle a little bit. Both these companies has reasons why I am attracted to them so we'll see how everything goes. I think the lesson to be learned here, and what I can take away from this whole jobless experience is to be confident. I mean, I'm hella confident when I go into interviews, and when I walk away from interviews. When I interviewed for Sheraton, I was the 1 person that got chosen from about 80. Of the four places I've interviewed for after I quit Sheraton, I got two of them (both unpaid so I quit), and look at the other two...I'm about to get both of them. I'm confident now. But I have to fill in the gap...that waiting period where I don't hear responses. If I get job offers from these two places, then damn....4/4. I can say I got job offers from 100% of places I interview for :p
