"How Do You Prefer to be Contacted?"

Received a phone call from a recruiter early last week about a job in downtown Cincinnati. We had a good conversation and he was sure I was perfect for the job. I was set up for a phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview was conducted on a cell phone in speaker mode with very obviously construction going on in the background. The man mumbled, on top of everything else. I know I blew the interview. I kept having to ask him to repeat what he was asking. Later, I discussed it with my husband and we agreed that it speaks to his degree of professionalism if he didn't realize the situation. I don't think I'll hear from him again and I don't think I will lose any sleep over it.

I got quite a few phone inquiries this past week. Temp jobs, consulting jobs,"real" jobs. Jobs I would really like. I'm working on getting them what they need. (My high school diploma?) I became motivated to apply to more jobs. Because I'm collecting unemployment, I am required to apply to two jobs per week. I exceed that requirement every week.
