1. Received an email from one of my recruiters in reference to what was supposed to be the next steps for a position I had interviewed for 2 weeks ago today. An interview that I thought went very well, (and I don't say that often) and from the feedback the recruiter gave me, it did. There will not be a second interview because the shareholders rejected all of the candidates presented for consideration and have decided to take a different direction with this position. The recruiter said that they (they, because they are a team of two people) would contact me when they received a revised job description which will more than likely be for a VP of Worldwide Operations position, which was the title of the person who I interviewed with, and who is no longer with the company as of Monday.
2.Did some additional research for interview #2, scheduled for 12PM on Tuesday, with a company which at this time will remain nameless until I can come up with an appropriate moniker. You will understand why it's not as simple as calling it company ABC when you read the full story this weekend.
3. Researched for a phone interview scheduled for 2:30PM Tuesday.
4. Received a call from one of the freelance placement companies that I am working with regarding a contract position with a very large media company. This company would need the person to start at 9AM the next morning. I guess the project wasn't that urgent because that 9AM Tuesday morning job never materialized.
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 (Pouring Rain)
1. 12PM: Went for interview #2 with the nameless company mentioned above to find out that the person I would be meeting with was not in the office and would not be returning that day.
2. 4:15PM: 2PM interview rescheduled for 4:15PM. The assistant to the person who I would be speaking to was extremely professional and emailed me every 30 minutes to status me on her employer's timing. I truly appreciated that. In the interim I did some more research. The interview went well. I received an email today inviting me to their offices the first week in June for interview #2
Wednesday, May 18, 2011 (Raining heavier than Tuesday. This weather is not conducive to going on a job interview.)
1. 1:45PM-3PM: Meeting with a client (As I said in a previous post, if the job allows me to work from home then it does not constitute coming out of retirement.)
2. 4:45PM: Meeting #3 but really meeting #2 with nameless company.
3. 5:15 PM: When meeting #3 with nameless company began.

1. 9:00AM-11:00AM: Applied to some jobs and sent a recruiter some samples from my portfolio to send along with my resume to the hiring manager. There is no point on me going into more detail here because I find that when recruiters contact you and say, "I saw your resume online," that more often than not, I don't hear back. There have been exceptions. See the recruiting duo I mentioned earlier in this post.
2. Received an email from J re the status of the nanny position. They have two more people to interview and will make a decision by the end of the weekend.
After three consecutive days of rain, the sun finally decided to come out, and I spent the rest of my day doing things that were not associated with the above. I am leaving you with the following two images.
