Thursday 12/02/10 a recap of the week.

I have over 15 years of trucking industry experience. This goes from working and turning wrenches on them to most recently holding an office position for nearly five years. Monday I had a good interview with a company down in Albertville, AL.

The company was a smaller trucking company and I thought the interview went really well, good dialog with the manager and HR representative. However I didn't get the call I was expecting but was grateful for the chance.

Fast forward to Wednsday around 10am I had my second job interview. This particular position was an office position that would only be part time. Right now I am not going to be too particular about work. This is the longest I have been out of work since high school. I really enjoyed the interview and it was on of the longest I have ever been in, almost an hour long.

I would really like to be in that office, it seemed like it would be a nice place to work. Best of all I could be at work in about 15-20 mins. I commuted over an hour one way for almost five years...ok back to the applications.

Well this is the start...

This blog is about my current job search. I am a single father of three girls and unfortunately I lost my job on the 18th of this month. While wading through my stacks of applications I figured I would blog about my job search.

I know they are tons of blogs out there about this subject but I wanted to write about it. Also sort of keep a log of how long it will take to get a job in this economy. This time of year is tough to be out of a job so lets see how long it takes to get a job...

I almost forgot, I've made a Youtube account too. I will be making videos to complement the blog, the user name is TheJobSearchAdventure78.
