A Phone Call from Bangladesh

I had my second interview, via phone call, last night with Anis and Shilpa from the Kazi and Kazi Tea Estate in Bangladesh. I was mostly concerned with the fact that I was doing this over a cell phone, as it turns out I don’t know anyone these days that have a land line! [...]

I was talking to my friend Chris today about how I’m starting to get a bit worried about this whole job hunt thing.  I feel as though I have applied for all of the good jobs and not too many new ones open up each day.  Well… low and behold I get a call from [...]

My friend Nick works for a company in Denver called Effective UI. I don’t know a lot about the company, but I do know that Nick travels a ton and works on some pretty high profile stuff for some big name clients. Outside looking in, it looks pretty sweet to me. Like [...]

Blue #1, sorry… you’re not the one.

I had my interview with Blue Sky Holdings yesterday, and let’s just say it wasn’t a match made in heaven.  The company (recently merged) is still pretty new, and I’m not so sure I agree with the business plan.  The company is an all encompassed marketing service (website, SEO, direct mail, POS, etc).  The position [...]
