I can breath again

by: Joe Lyons - July 19th, 2008

The final job cuts were made yesterday and I wasn't among them. Finally I can relax and count on the fact that I still have a job.

It's been a rough 5 months with layers of interviews, cuts, and change of direction with my company. They warned us in March to be selfish and do what's best for ourselves, but with the job market being what it is, it's extremely competitive. I interviewed with a few other companies and made it to the final interview rounds only be to beat out by others with more experience.

Training has been sub-par for this past summer. I've been as focused as I could, but there was always doubt in the back of my mind. "Am I going to make it?" It did keep me up at night and gave me some funky dreams.

Now I've got to go to training for a while and the diet will suffer. Corporate America loves sandwiches, cookies, donuts, and foods covered in fat. I always make the best choices with what I'm given, but it's hard to be on point with the diet.

To all of those competing this up coming week I want to wish you all good luck. I'll be thinking of you all!!!
