weee!

so i got an "informal" job offer....i think:

"Jess,

Just checking to see if you are still interested in a position with our
company. We can send you a formal offer if you like.
Let me know.
Thanks"


that sounds like a job offer to me...welcome to hawaii...where nothing is certain :) either way, i'm psyched. i emailed back saying i WOULD like a formal offer and a date by which i had to respond by, and i got an email back saying to set up a meeting with the company's president *cringe*. i'm still in that mode where i feel like i'm nobody and don't deserve to talk to people in such positions. i think it's a dumb mode...but i can't help it yet. bottom of the totem pole and all....

but yeah, the company is Cedric D.O. Chong and associates...a "multi-discipline" engineering firm (apparently the biggest in the state) that does electrical and mechanical engineering as well as fireproofing (i'd be glad to test it, haha). they do mostly government and industrial type things...and they were really interested that i had CAD experience because the way it works now is they have dedicated CAD drafters and dedicated engineers. they'd be happy to have someone who could design straight into CAD...and it gives me a smooth transition...i can draft their stuff as i learn it.

SO PSYCHED. if they offer me good money i'll pretty much take the job. the other company considering me now is less apealing and i just applied to a few military jobs that are far from home (driving wise) but would play a shitload (can you say COLA?)

but this job would be a HUGE career start. ...i feel like i only had a false start so far.
