Thread: New Job!

So, after being told in November that my contract was not being renewed due to budgeting issues...and after pounding the virtual pavement since then, by God's good grace I started a new job on Thursday as a project manager with a firm here in Denver.



It is a company that provides systems to State governments for managing child protective services, children's insurance, etc. It is contract-to-hire, so I hope I do well enough for them to hire me as an employee after 90 days!

My thanks to all here who offered words of encouragement....it was the first time I had been unemployed since the early '90's....very scary. I can't imagine the stress if I had a wife and kids.


Lessons learned:

Don't stop looking for positions, even if there is a "sure thing" on the horizon.
Make sure you have 3-4 months of living expenses in savings (cancelling the holidays helped out too)
Keep praying...hard.

Congrats mate Must be a load off your mind. I hope the new job is interesting, challenging, and rewarding!

I'm glad it all worked out. Once they do hire you permenently, you may want to consider a celebratory custom

Thanks all!

Celebratory custom....hmmmmm

(aaa! must..control...RAD....aaaaa)

Yeah, you need to control that RAD and protect yourself from the barrage of types of steel, sizes, grinds, points and a myriad of scale materials like exotic woods, horns and bones, finished in every possible way. It's hard to resist a 9/8" maple burl scaled Joe Chandler French point, a 7/8" Livi Damascus spike with 1pc olivewood scales or an 8/8" stag-horn scaled Williams Spanyard, but I'm sure you can do it

Congratulations.

Congratrulations. Hope you enjoy your new job.

Congrats to u on the new job...
