I had a conversation with one of the ladies that hired me for my last job. While I was there she moved departments, but was still in the same place. She's looking for a junor developer. Apparently they changed the rules in gov't. She will have to run a nation wide companition unless 1) The person being hired has graduated in the last 4 months 2) They have a degree in a applicable field (i.e. if I did Pol. Sci. I couldn't go for a Engineering job) and 3) that they have worked at the place before. Yay! I fit all three! ;-) The whole conversation was like "this is the job. Are you interested? Okay, I'll start the paper work then." Yay! ;-)

However, there are always things that come in the way. She has to get approval first. So she said that me getting this job was dependant on the budget, and she told me to keep looking, keep my options open.

The job sounded pretty good. There would be no maintenance. Yay!! It would be a really small team (jr. dev. (me), sen. dev., PM (her), a DB person and a part time UI person). J2EE stuff, web applications; the project starting from scratch. If I got hired I'd start as a CS-1, which is what I would expect in this market. If this works out, I should know in < a month. We'll see what happens.
