Day 57 Log

Got a message from a friend that someone in his company was looking for a DBA. Thankfully, he remembered that I was looking, and passed on my resume. Networking is usually the best way to find a new position, so I hope that they like what they see and things can move forward.

A family member knows someone who needs some consulting work for his business. I called him and had a nice conversation with him over the phone. I'm going to meet with him and discuss further over lunch what he is looking for. I think right now, the main issue for him is budget, I'll get a better idea from him, what he wants, and how he wants to do it, then I think I can give him an idea of budget...I may need to call in some help on this one, I think he'll need some web development work, I may or may not be the right person for the job, we'll see how the meeting goes.

Got a call from a recruiter today for a position I had applied for last week...only I think this was a position that as soon as I submitted it, I had a "oh crap" moment and realized that the position wasn't what I had initally thought it would be...so I had to apologize to them and let them know I didn't have the required experience for the position.
