YES!

I got a decent job again today

I've been unemployed and working crap part time/temp jobs for almost four years now. I went in this morning for what I was told would be a first interview with the hiring manager. It was supposed to go for a half hour... After a little over an hour, she asked me if I would mind sticking around and talking to their technical guy and I did... I spoke with him for another hour until the manager came back with the rest of the team to talk with them for another 45 minutes.

I'd left knowing I'd nailed it... All of the technical questions correct, agreement on methodology and a good personal connection with everyone I'd spoken with.... I'd also been there before a number of times over the last few years and still managed to not get the job.

About an hour after I got home, they called and made the offer and I took it without a seconds hesitation. A lot less then what I used to make but a lot more then what I have been making and well above the average so... All in all, I'm pretty happy about it.
