    Sent in my resume...We will see what happens. Incidently, I have been reading a lot of your posts on here and you are a lot of help to newbies like me. Even though you probably don't hear it a lot, thanks for the encouragement.

    I'm just another one of them newbies, at the place I am at with my research and job hunting, basically doing the same thing you are. Wish us all good luck and thank anyone who helps. You're welcome by the way, but I think it's exactly what our fathers and grandfathers did for each other when they found themselves positions like ours. Hoover Dam, Hanford nuclear power plant, the TVA, the gold rushes, and so on. We all want to get somewhere in life.

    By the way, I can't recommend this site enough. http://twc.state.tx.us/ great source.

    Mine took about a week, so be prepared to get a call when you least expect it. They told me it would take about 10 days or so, so I flew home for those 10 days. I left on a Wednesday, and they called me Monday morning saying that I was GTG.
