Over the weekend I found what looks to be a great job for me. The job is to maintain and design a company's website and assist in the design documents for print and such. The company is a resort company located a little over an hour out of Yakima, so I'd be out of Yakima and 15 minutes away from the college that I plan to attend next year. There's a possibility that I might even get a place to stay at the resort since it mentions that relocation packages are available.

Anyway, I meet the minimum requirements for the job. The ad says that they'd prefer a bachelor's degree, but that at least three years of equivalent experience(which I have) would also work. I have a feeling that if I could convince them to have a look at my portfolio and interview me, that they'd be impressed and might offer me the job. smile.gif

So anyway, yesterday I submitted my application online(I couldn't do it in person...online was all that was available.) In my cover letter to my resume, I commented that I would follow up within a couple days to answer any preliminary questions they may have.

So tomorrow,
I'm going to visit the resort and I think I'll ask if I can talk to the personel director. Once I do this, I plan to introduce myself, say that I applied online, and ask if they recieved my application and if there's anything else that they would like me to do. I plan to close up the conversation by letting them know that if there's anything they need, they can feel free to get a hold of me, and then I'll hand them one of my business cards.

I've got a nice dress shirt and nice Doc Martens shoes, and tonight I got some nice slacks and a nice belt, so I'll dress up for tomorrow. Any suggestions or tips for me before I go talk to them tomorrow? smile.gif

Walk in there like you own the place, be a hard ass. it works everytime. I do it every where I go. Not like a cocky guy thatis all prissyed up an ****. Just walk in there with a stright face and be firm like you know what you want and your going to get it.

I thought your first post was a bad joke. Now I see you believe this type of attitude would be successful. Depending on who is behind the desk, that kind of attitude can get you kicked out on your a$$ faster than anything. I agree with the above comments that there is a difference between exhibiting a calm, energetic confidence and being "a hard ass" as you have recommended.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
