Yesterday morning I had my first interview over the telephone with Onyx. They were bought about 6-8 months ago for 93 million cash by Consona, a holding company who has been buying up CRM and ERP software companies. The job sounds like it'd be great fun. Basically I'd be traveling 4 of 5 weekdays, work one in the office, and have my weekends to play. They send small teams of developers to customer sites to implement customizations of their software and do new product installs.
The interview could have gone better, but I did well enough for them to set me up with the 'technical' interview, the next phase of their hiring process. To be honest I expected to be speaking with a recruiter from HR, but it turns out that it was the hiring manager on the line! The only real affect that had was that I had lots of 'company' oriented questions prepared, instead of 'job-targeted' questions. Oh well, we'll see in a few days if their tech guy calls me back.
Career Builder.com has been my home for the past few days. I've applied for nearly every job that I'm qualified for that was posted in the last seven days so far, but there are still 480 or so job postings left to cover in the Seattle area alone! Drudgery!
I guess I can't complain too much though. The weather has been fantastic here. It's absolutely beautiful everywhere, so I started snapping random pics while driving about town :)
On the bridge heading downtown.
Some random building.
The capitol building (yes, Olympia is the capitol of Washington, for those of you who have forgotten your state capitols)
We went 'boat camping' through Memorial Day weekend. It was supposed to be nice and sunny out all weekend, but it turned out overcast. A bit of rain couldn't keep us off the water though!
Looks pretty gloomy behind those two...
But we were all in good spirits nonetheless!
I made a little map of the journey with some comments.
Not sure which passage this is, but I think it's Dana...
On approach to Mcmicken Island.
Jib furled up, time to get the anchor ready for a drag to get us secure for the night.
Yes, overcast, early season mornings on the sound are COLD!
Another shot of Mcmicken.
The weather's been absolutely gorgeous the past few days.
