badstarJust got off the phone with Kathleen, the lady that I talked to yesterday She had a few further questions from the client that they're hiring for...can I set up email addresses in MS Outlook? (Yes, yes I can.) Do I know basic networking information, or can I learn it very quickly? (Know mac stuff, can l;earn basic windows stuff very quickly.)
The job is in Lutherville, just a few blocks from the Light rail stop...and right on the 8 bus line if I don't feel like walking those few blocks (York road is a bitch) and has a starting salary of $5,000-10,000 more per year than I was asking for.
I also got a call this morning from a guy at Teksystems. They have several possible positions, but they want direct contact information for my most recent supervisor- which I don't have offhand, but I know where Chris works now, so I gave him a call and left a message asking him to get back to me with his prefered method of contact, and the pertinent info.
So apparently at least one of these jobs is maybe a 3-month contract, others are longer, the three-month, and one or two others aren't too concerned about prior experience in the technical end, as long as there's been some sort of phone supportexperience, they can train. As I see it, even if I were to land a contract that was only 3 months, if it's dealing with windos systems, as soon as I can put that experience on my resume, my options are going to increase significantly. And from what I've seen of that sort of contract length, and logical conclusion tells me that there's a semi-decent chance of such a job paying more...because who's going to take a 3-month job for $10 an hour? I could be way off...but that's what I suspect.
Yay for job options.
