Jobbish update

[sff_corgi_lj]

For those who may have been following my petty drama, here's the situation: As of last Friday (the 16th), I was an officially unemployed person. I can claim severance pay, which I'll file for next week, in case something comes of the other department's contract bid works out. In the meantime, my friend Debbie had recommended me for a position at her workplace, for which I interviewed today.

It surprised us both when a 'Quality Engineer' turns out to be only worth US$9.00/hr.

Meanwhile, because of an opening at Amadeus, I found myself updating my Monster profile and resume, deleted old search parameters and made my resume searchable (it wasn't before? Puzzling.).

...And I've had calls because of it. Including what seems to be a pretty firm offer in North Miami for $16/hr. We'll see in a day or two. :)

Perhaps experienced QE is worth more?
But it does explain a lotabout this country's standards...

Happy thoughts to you. I'm a little surprised tht a QA Engineer goes for so little, myself.

Debbie and I are wondering, despite him having said 'engineer', if he was really looking at the clerk position. The Purchasing dept. had a gofer position that would have paid roughly the same, if I remember correctly.

So solly, I'm worth more than that. :)

Possy thots.

And your mail.

I'm just boggling at the pay... I'm admin and get paid $18 an hour (our dollar is nearly equivalent to the US $ at the moment). True, it's casual and so has a loading, but I'm just boggling at how low.

Much luck.

I was making roughly $20/hr before, which is why a Kelly Girl is now doing my job for half as much.

(Fine, let's see any of them rebuild Hayden, Colorado without a book open.)
