I am now employed again

Well, it took awhile and I decided I absolutely hate interviewing, but I found a job. I took a position as a Regional Manager for a commission only sales oriented company that produces internet solutions for physician practices. We sell comprehensive web portals that allow patients to request online appointments, get physician referrals online, ask doctors questions, get Rx refills, pay bills online, download and fill out forms online (pre visit so there's less of a wait at the office), and a ton of other cool things. So, I work out of my home office and manage reps all over the country. I'm still hiring people and interviewing some almost every day. I cover Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York city, parts of Texas, Arkansas, Colorado and will most likely pick up some other areas before it's all done. So far, I really like it and I have 10 reps in place so far (with about 8 more to hire). When the sales start coming in (and they already have a little), it will be far more lucrative than what I did before. Just have to get there since I've worked for a few weeks so far and won't get any pay until at least next month. But, I wanted my few readers that I have left to hear the good news. I've been very busy with my job search and have used LinkedIn.com, Facebook and other sites to network as I was looking. I'm most amazed at how rude people can be that are in the hiring position and I hope to not be that way. I went through the hiring process with two companies over a period of almost 3 months and for one - had to find out by emailing someone that they had gone with someone else - and for the second, I'm still waiting (a month after they told me they'd call me the next day). SOOO glad the search is over. Thanks for all the support along the way.

Thanks SO much! I really appreciate the support during my search from my (very) few readers. And I still go to read your Friday smile every week, even though I'm not good at commenting!

Thanks, Tara. It's been good so far, though it's all commission so it's more likely to pay off long term vs short term. I'm having fun, though. Hope you are well, too.
