While on my flight from ATL to MEM I happened to sit next to a business man. He simply asked me if I was heading home and I said "almost, gonna catch a flight in Memphis to Starkville". We then started talking about Mississippi State, what I did in Jacksonville, where I've been looking for jobs and how I've been looking.
Then he starts talking about *his* company and positions he has open. As we are talking I'm wondering if this dude is thinking about offering me a job and if this is like a mini-interview. About halfway in the flight, he hands me his business card and starts telling me about the hiring process. A quick glance at his card reveals he is the VP of Manufacturing. Sweet!!
It turns out he works for a company that makes plastic bottles like milk jugs, and they need some chem e's to be "utilities engineers". From what I gathered, my job would be to go around to the different plants and fix things or install new things. Not bad, I love traveling!
Well after I shot off the email Monday and didn't hear anything back except an auto generated "bounce" notification. After double checking the email, I had it wrong ): After resending it, I still heard nothing. When I went to check, it turns out I never clicked the "send" button. WTF?!
So going for the 3rd time I definitely send it and 15 min later he replies and says he's already chatted to the Hiring Manager about me and he'll forward my resume to him. COOL!!
In other news, I emailed my Navy recruiter my measurements this month and I'm at 25% blubber. Only 3% away from the 22% limit. Then it'll be off to MEPS to do the duckwalk (:
