I get some funny calls sometimes

[elfs]

This morning I had an interview with an HR guy for a small start-up that needs a three month contractual geek who can wind his way around an upgrade from a primitive, CGI-based Apache/modperl to an Apache2/modperl2 infrastructure. It looked like a really interesting job, but his wires were crossed and although I got to meet with him, he would have to reschedule to talk to the engineers, who were all out of town today.

However, he sounded modestly positive, so maybe I shouldn't fret so much.

Anyway, as I was taking the elevator down, my phone rang. It was another recruiter, and he said he had "an interesting Apache and Perl job in Bellevue."

I had to laugh and say, "[REDACTED], right? I just finished an interview with them."

The trick is to stay way ahead of the curve.

Indeed, congratulations on moving ahead of the head-hunters; things seem to be working like that up here, too, right now. ^_^

Happy hunting!
