FYI, most of these posts are going to be old news…
About 2 weeks after getting back to MD, I was hired by a fantastic sports union in DC as webmaster. The job is great, the benefits are amazing, and the people are fantastic. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of my work environment.
I can’t really say who it is that I work for as it’s a really public industry and any opinions or comments I post on my website should NOT be affiliated with my employer. If you know me, you know where I work. Anyway, I got the job by pretty much scoring the highest on their online proficiency exams and wearing some nice shoes to my interviews (thanks Mike). I actually got really lucky because when I started interviewing I wanted to show them websites that I had created with a SQL backend but my server (and all my other things) where still in transit. I basically had 1 suit and my desktop and the clothes in my suitcase. So I quickly designed a simple CMS app on my desktop with a SQL back-end and borrowed some of my friend’s clothes for the subsequent interviews. After that, I got the job and started my, hopefully very long, career here. I couldn’t be happier with my work.
