    Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement. Minus the poop scooping comment. 😆

    It does provide a certain level of confidence and I am cautiously optimistic.

      So, that IT position that went to 3rd level interview was a bust. Still looking and had another interview for a position that is way outside my current field. Would probably have that job right now if the owner wasn't so indecisive. He still hasn't actually defined the role, yet he was interviewing. WTF?

      Filled another application for a position that is a perfect fit. It's for an Omnis Studio developer. Remote. Based in Texas. I am one of a handful or two of people in the country with that particular skill, and I have more experience with Omnis Software than just about anyone, world-wide. I have been developing applications in Omnis since 1982. Our 9-1-1 Quality Assurance and ERP is written in Omnis. All of the small business and enterprise software I have written over the past 40+ years, I have written in Omnis. I dream in Omnis code.

      I had to take a CCAT (Google it) and Workplace Personality profile. Finished them about an hour ago.

      Now the waiting begins...

          Good luck! Why was the first one a bust, might I ask? It's frustrating to be one of the top qualified folks for a gig but still need to convey it to the other party.

            @89th I never found out why. The recruiter ghosted me and would never respond to emails or voice mail.

            After a couple of months, I called the company direct to find out that the position had been filled.

              Recruiters are the worst. I treat them all like the running dogs they are.

              But then I'm rather a prickly bastard in interviews too. Here is who I am, what I think I can do for you, and what I'm probably not the guy for. If you like that, great. If not, save us all the grief. I yam what I yam.

              I'd bet you get the Omnis. Fingers crossed.

                      I assume the recruiter gets a bonus for the hire - no hire, no bonus. So, why bother to get back to you?

                        Smarter recruiters know that the better positions (read: better bonuses) draw from a much smaller pool, and an unplaced experienced hire now is just better money in the bank later if you keep working for them.

                        Most recruiters are not smart.

                          Good luck with this one, working from home would be nice. Maybe you'd have the opportunity to go to Texas at some point and pay homage to my birthplace visit Hoarace.

                          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                                It's different when recruiters are involved. The company talks to them and if you didn't get it they will not even put the time in to call you generally.

                                        My HR person had to wait 8 months to get any word back about her current job. 8 months and absolutely nothing, then she was hired.

                                        That's a little extreme, but sadly it's not at all uncommon to wait awhile these days. It really depends, company to company.

                                        I'd say a full week is time enough in which it's more than reasonable to follow up.

                                        Please love yourself.

                                          A week isn't much time to wait these days. It's likely percolating through the process. But it's also not too soon to follow up.
