150 + job applications and I finally have an interview.

Tomorrow is suit and tie day for a trip to Smyrna, Georgia for a Web Designer position.

After trying Dice.com, ComputerJobs.com, CareerBuilder.com and the ever crap Monster.com, I found one on Craiglist.org.

No agency.

Applied last night after having a look through and I got a call first thing this morning.

So, I'll be nervous on my three hour drive in the morning

Interested in how you get on Rincewind! I am in the same line of work (sucks doesn't it?) Only recently got my Emploment Authorization Card and still don't have my SSN yet - was told it will take about another 6 weeks! So I've started looking for work. Applied for a few things already generally IT related when I couldn't find much else. Question have you had any problem relating your UK qualifications so far??? Not sure myself but I am currently studying for a US award which I think will answer any questions before they are asked. Not cheap but sneaky Huh?

Well, after being here nearly three years, this is my first interview. I'll let you know.

Most Web jobs though look for exoerience years over qualifications. I've been in this business coming on seven years with a nice portfolio (well, in my eyes anyway, lol) so that counts.

The more you can prove that you can do what you say, the qualification confussion doesn't seem to matter.


If it all goes wrong, I guess we should start a business together. I'M SERIOUS!!!

So far my EAD has meant nothing. We'll see with this one tomorrow. As for the SSN, it maybe different in Texas, but I had mine within 10 days of visiting the Social Security office.

After coming back off my hols a couple of your messages sent me the wrong signals so I am pleased to see the latest message. Never give up hope. Best of luck for the interview.
