Black hole. Or not?
So maybe it's not a black hole afterall.
I just got a phone call from an organization I applied to last week for a job. Set up an interview for next week. The job isn't one which I am dying to have, but who am I to turn down interviews when they are offered??
Here I am, sending out cover letter after cover letter to humanresources@companyname.org, being all sad believing that my application is just sinking into a black hole anyways. No one really reads those resumes, do they? You gotta know someone, right?
But then again, maybe you don't.
Hmm...

Three of the last four jobs I've gotten have been without contacts on the inside.
ServInt gave me a shot because I knew Unix and was willing to work a horrible schedule.
UUNet was desperate for bodies, and still was able to hire (that ended 8 months later)
at AT&T, I knew a recruiter, who told me about a job fair they were having.
I didn't know anyone at Callisma either, but they had previously worked with other coworkers of mine.
So I know at least some of them get read...
Now, this is out of maybe 4,000 resumes I sent out, so there do seem to be a lot of black holes out there...
congrats. keep on rockin' in the free world.
