    I did. Same answer, "it's been to long since you drove."

    Folks may be able to tell I was down of my prospects last week. But things may in fact be looking up. Today I had,

    - recruiter from Maverick called. She emailed me a release I had to print, sign, and fax back. I did, so it seems the hiring committee will go over my application tomorrow.

    - recruiter from Schneider emailed me and asked me to call, said he'd been trying to reach me. I did, we talked for a minute, and I have a phone interview set for tomorrow.

    - messaged recruiter at FreyMiller, she messaged me back asking to call her tomorrow as she'd like to try and bring me in next week.

    So I may have been in a foul mood all weekend for nothing. Tomorrow should be an enlightening day, one way or another.

    I'd jump on a Freymiller offer. Good reputation.

    Good to hear things are looking up.
    Important to note that when companies say no they hardly ever really mean no, most of the time they're really saying not right now.
    Worst thing that happens is you end up at a crap company for a couple months and then jump ship.

    +1 on freymiller, Chinatown knows his stuff and they do have a decent reputation. I like their equipment too.

    Freymiller is one of the few who know how to get it done, I never did anything with them though. Maverick here in Arkansas I think is a good outfit as well. I do however, keep an eye on them.
