Bad vibes

No word from Rick's manager. Sent Rick an e-mail, asking if he'd heard anything. His reply: "I've heard very little myself, but I'm not feeling any positive vibes." Hmm. That doesn't sound good.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping to hear more this week on the possible Web developer position. The Jacksonville manager will be giving a presentation to his Charlotte boss, asking for funding of an additional employee position for his dashboard project. If this is approved, I'd be a leading candidate. However, the only immediate news would probably be bad: a no can be delivered immediately; a yes requires additional approvals and might take awhile. But knowing if it's been squelched, or has been tentatively allowed to go forward, would be progress.

I'm also still looking at postings, and sending out e-mails to people I've known and worked with. The latter seems much more efficient in generating leads, ironically, than the formal postings (from which I've received no replies, even from the recruiter handling the postings).

Have to keep plugging; but it's starting to look like a long shot for finding something before my 6/30 end date.
