Kiting someone along after an interview
-
The guy who got the job instead just posted about getting it. So now we know the rest of the story. And it explains why he had been so cold about the idea of posting on MangoLassi!

Yes, the day he announced that he couldn't post (over there) anymore. I invited him to post here. He was very cold. Now we see why.

I held myself back from posting over here due to the fact I was in the midst of talking about other employment, I didn't want to condemn myself by saying anything I shouldn't have over here.
Seeing as my attempts went disrespectfully discouraged over there, my voice will echo their pages less and less.

And now you are free to post here!

RAM,
I left a stable government IT job and started to work for an MSP that really worked themselves up to be something they werent. I moved and everything to start the job. The first week I was thee they had me recycle computer components and UPS batteries and the Second week I sat on a PC waiting for a client to call. Sometime in the 3rd week they laid me off. I was insulted, and I was extremely pissed off. They knew they pulled me away from a stable job and laid me off in 3 weeks. I then started doing contract work. Alot of my friends did this, but It was never something I had done. I really hated it. No employer was the same. IT department skill levels varied.
About a year later, I was getting desperate to get an employee job for a company. I paid to have my resume professionally done. I started applying at jobs with my new Resume and got offered interviews like crazy. In a week, I did 4 interviews and 3 of the employers gave me a job offer. I was able to pick my place of employment and now I couldnt be more happy.
Everyone who is working for a great employer, put their time in with the shitty ones. I see it on Spicworks all the time, IT professionals posting about their backwards IT dept. and employers. That was me. No appreciation by co-workers and superiors. Set your sights high, and dont stop until you get what you want. There are good employers out there and you are a good employee. One day soon, you will find the right fit.

il today from the VP... "we found someone more qualified", "we thought you were what we wanted"... [moderated] bullshit.... 8 god damn weeks, 2 [moderated] months of my life I was forced to SIT AND WAIT for a new job that I was told was mine.... the fact it took that long to [screw] me over is shocking, its far from professional, and its outright disgusting and leaves me pissed.... beyond pissed out right annoyed to no end. My [moderated] future was banking on it, my [moderated] future was told to me, what I was told, and what I get are very [moderated] different.
Happens to the best of us.
I'm going to start telling people "Only serious inquiries need ask me if I want a job."

There are a ton of IT jobs in my area right now. I live an hour directly east of Orlando. The odd part is that there are no jobs in Orlando, but plenty here.
-
Orlando is not known for being a tech town. Kind if the opposite. Disney didn't help that by being a wasteland of technology. Always decades behind.

Are you over by the space coast? The IT job market here in Tampa Bay is interesting. Luckily for me, I was made an offer I couldn't refuse..
