August 8

Today I was supposed to go to an interview seminar, but I rescheduled. I was feeling tired and blah. I got a call from a consultant recruiter and I have a meeting for Monday with her. But I think she is confused by my experience. I think she is looking for BSA's, which I'm not. She sent me an e-mail asking if I had retirement services experience, which I do, but not as a BSA. Anyway, I won't be surprised if she cancels. I responded to her e-mail explaining that I'm not a BSA, I have a financial back ground. Target called back after 3 weeks to say that they had enough internal candidates so they were not going to interview external candidates. NMDP called about an AR job that I really don't want and only applied because Rob thought I should. The pay is $26K less than I was making. I'm willing to work for that little if I like the job, but this is an entry level clerical position and I wouldn't like it. At least something is happening. It's annoying that companies don't acknowledge that you applied for a job. I can understand big companies not having the time, but I have applied for smaller companies that haven't sent any communications at all. It would be nice to receive a real e-mail (not an auto generated one) that says we are interested or not.
