Hi Josh...

Mine are already crossed, for both of us! I had an interview today, for a Project Management/Quality position at an IT firm.

Hopefully we will both get what we want!

I'll keep fingers crossed for all three of us. I submitted my applications to four Ph.D. programs today!

 

[winyan]

Oh wow, sxn, which uni's and what programs?? Hard or soft sciences?

win

 

[sxn675]

I'm applying for Health Services Administration, so soft science. Now that I've taken the GREs, done my personal statement, and applied I just have to wait! The only ones who know I'm doing this are my profs from grad school (I already have a masters) b/c they had to write me letters and my husband. I don't want to tell people at work because if I don't get in, then I will just keep my job (I'm in Senior Management at a hospital, but want to teach at the college or grad school level). So, no more diamonds for me for now!

 

[winyan]

*chuckle* at the no more diamonds comment.

I wish you all the best and all the luck in the world, sxn!

[sxn675]

Thanks! Good luck to you as well! I used to be a Manager at a Big Five consulting firm, so I've run some IT projects. Let me know if you have any questions as you go through it.

And Josh, good luck again

It's down to 4 of us now so I'm hoping for the best..

Thanks for the well wishes everyone and have a good day...

Best of luck to you Josh!

 

[glitterata]

Oh, good luck, Josh! I really hope you get the job. The world needs more kind, sane, responsible people like you keeping us safe.

And good luck to Win & sxn, too. I hope your dreams come true.

 

[hoorray]

Good luck to all of you! It's good to see some hiring starting to happen finally .

 

[valeria101]

Wow! So many news! And expectations... Just me and my dull PhD. Best of luck to all of you awaiting good news

 

[winyan]

Thanks so much to you all!!!

On the downside, my SO was downsized today... .

We knew it was coming but still...I had hoped to be re-employed before he was downsized.

IT certainly isn't the place to be these days.

I wanted to say "thank you" again for helping me out when I first joined Pricescope.. along with Mara, Al...




And GOOD LUCK on this!!

 

[pulp_princess]

Good luck, Josh! I'm sure you'll do just fine.

You too, Win. Sit tight sxn675, and try to be patient and don't worry about it too much. Good luck all around!

 

[caratgirl]

Good luck to all of you! Yes, IT is definitely a difficult field these days. Since I got laid off, I have been doing consulting work and small projects, but I really want something full time.

 

[winyan]

Unfortunately my situation didn't turn out as I had hoped.

I would have had the position if the small corporation had decided to fund for it, however, they opted to throw more developers into the soup rather than going with a quality program. It will not help, but far be it from me to tell them that. At any rate, they will reconsider opening the position again next quarter, but that will be too late for me.

[sxn675]

I got into my first Ph.D. program today!!! If anyone who's reading this has been in a Ph.D. program and would like to offer me any advice or anything, please PM me

 

[winyan]

Congrats, sxn675, and the only advice I can give you, is, to, well, play your cards close, and keep your advisor closer.
