A Follow Up to My Job Search

I sent an email to the news channel that initially gave me some exposure.  They were kind enough to go to my work site and interview me again to see how I was doing.  Here is the video:  http://www.azcentral.com/video/1660506405001

Hiring Heroes

It isn’t often that we see a company that exclusively hired military for one hiring round.  I’m proud to say that the dealership that I started working for, in its last hiring round, hired all military.  All 5 new sales persons are veterans.

So, if any of you are ever in Arizona or need a car, stop by or contact Camelback Toyota and ask for Claude.

Additionally, if you know any veterans who need a job and they have IT skills, remember that Microsoft has an amazing program to hire veterans called We Still Serve.  If you need another reason to use Bing, understand that most of the skills needed to work for them can be acquired through the military.

Employment

I’m glad I started a new job today.  After being out of work for over a year, having a job feels great.  It’s a dramatic change of pace for me.  Car sales.  Luckily, it is selling a brand I believe in: Toyota.

No matter how good being employed feels, at the end of the day, I couldn’t get in my car fast enough.  It wasn’t because I wanted to escape from work, but because I wanted to see the Fuzzball.  But the Fuzzball also makes working that much easier.  She is my reason.  Her Daddy is productive.  Her Daddy can support her.  She can be proud of her Daddy.

I love that Fuzzball.
