YEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW!!! I Got the job! (perpetual new job celebration thread)

[Starbuck3733T]

This thread is for posting the good news! leaving that old crappy workplace and moving to a new one... I had the honor of starting it ;)

Not only did I get the job (Network Coordinator at Penn State University's Material's research lab), but I asked for more money and got it!

WOOHOO! I start august 2. Now I have to document all the utilities I wrote for my own use in this semi-awful webmaster/content maintainer/monkey job... and handle all the stuff they're going to throw at me when they hear I'm leaving.

I've suffered for about 1.5 years here, it was good experience, and there are a couple people I will dearly miss (Tom, Shane, Ellen), but none of them could make me stay, cept for maybe Tom. Tom has taught me SO much. He broke my .NET cherry, and got me hardcore into it - its the best thing since sliced bread IMHO. He got me into SQL, and bulletproof programming. He is the epitomy of what a coder should be, and I'll miss him A LOT. Not to mention that he's electronically inclined like I am, and he's great to boune ideas off.

So one thing remains: the resignation letter. I'm going to be a bit strategic when it comes to that, as I know the VP of the division is leaving for Europe on thursday. If I drop it then, they'll be uncoordinated enough to make my leaving easier on me, since he'll be in the EU for a month.

You all may remember my last broken english faux resignation letter - can't do that here.

Advice? Congrats! I'm bouncing off the walls and I just had to share, shoot me if you feel it neccessary.


PS: the MRL (Materials reasearch lab) has a full machine shop!!! (WOOT!)

[fillip]

Well done dude!!! sounds like a sweet job you landed yourself there!!

[mnpctech]

:huh: serious? Wow, Google is the source of everything

[Edd]

Congrats mang :)

[dutchcedar]

PS: the MRL (Materials reasearch lab) has a full machine shop!!! (WOOT!)We'll be expecting great things... :rant:

All BS aside, congrats!!! It sounds like you'll have some fun and phat checks to show for it... <_<

[Kickass]

Nice one with the job, i'm lucky arent i dont need to worry about that stuff yet. :unsure:

Google = centre of universe, of course. :blink:

[Fibbles]

:) If it brings more hapiness I'm all for it, and you'll be too :)

[furious trout]

Nice one Star,
You could always try this (http://www.i-resign.com) for your resignation letter dunno if it's a good idea though ^_^

[Risky]

Normally its the resignation chat thats the sensitive bit, the letter is just for the records, but if you gotta go they'll understand. Congratulations there.

[Darv]

Well done!!

Looking forward to seeing how you're going to make use of the machine shop :D

[Da_Rude_Baboon]

Nice one m8 :)


I hope we are going to see a case made from some never-seen-before state of the art material! :p

[scopEDog]

Nice work Star congrats man!

[mrplow]

Congratulations starbuck (bit late to say it but better late than never ey?)

[Nexxo]

Congrats, dude! It's always a buzz to get a better (and better paying) job!




PS: machine shop? Does it have a CNC router in it? :D

[iduktech]

I would like to congrat you on your new job! :D



So one thing remains: the resignation letter. I'm going to be a bit strategic when it comes to that



I hope your resignation letter would be better than the one that i wrote to my employer
"I quote"

Dear mr employer, shove the shite job up your ass! I'm off

yours

bla bla


you get the idea :D

[Nexxo]

At least you didn't torch the place... :D







Er. Did you? :unsure:

[Starbuck3733T]

DJ Bill, you're crazy. I do have to exist for a bit, even though thats the way I feel.

Nexxo: I didn't see a CNC in there, but its a gigantic hand mill. If they had CNC I'd be in heaven!

[Knipex]

Congrats Star...

More money is allways a bonus but new toys to play with ........ Now thats the clincher...

[Nexxo]

YEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWW!!! I learnt today that I got the job too! :D And it's a serious promotion!

I, too, will have to employ some diplomacy and restraint when it comes to writing a resignation letter... <_<

Perhaps we should make a permanent "Celebrations" thread here, where people can announce their personal victories, dance around the room, and have praise heaped upon them. :D

[Starbuck3733T]

Good idea nexxo!

& big congrats! You're a psychologist right? that's atypical of your average modder/geek person. Cool though. Do you think I am crazy?

[Nexxo]

Not as crazy as I am. :D

Anyway after a day of all this touchy-feely human being stuff it's nice to come home and do some heavy metal modding.

[iduktech]

At least you didn't torch the place... :D







Er. Did you? :unsure:



LOL you guy's know me 2 well :wub:

[Starbuck3733T]

well, its done. my resignation is in...

One managers reaction (according to my supervisor, who is also a good friend) was "F__k." and nothing more. I had to chuckle. ^_^

[Nexxo]

It's like the Mastercard commercial:

One pen and letter pad at a stationary shop: $2,--

One envelope and post stamp: $0,50

The reaction of your employer when they receive your resignation letter telling them to shove their job where the sun don't shine: PRICELESS. :D

[Darv]

I'm starting my new job tomorrow. It's my first real job so I'm kinda nervous but I'm looking forward to it all the same. B)

I've spent the last few months sitting around doing nothing so it's going to be a bit of an adjustment :lol:

[fivecheebs]

Good luck mate :)

most importantly, have fun :) .... unless your new job is in an undertakers :unsure:

[Starbuck3733T]

[BigBen2k]

I wasn't around then , but congrats Starbuck.

I landed a job doing tech support for Yahoo Web Hosting and Merchant Solutions, been at it one year now, and moved my way up to Tier 2 support. Fun place to work, but I don't think I'd ever host my site here!!!http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/happy.gif

I've also got a renovation project coming up; I'm building an office within my garage :D so I can appreciate what's been done here; you're going to love that power strip, I promise. The new color livens up the room nicely.

[walkitiki]

Though it isn't a new job, and it may make my age show, but.. I've choosen to go to Virginia Tech for engineering. So far I've planned to at least start in Computer Science, but who knows where I'll end up. I just wanted to tell you guys how great it is to have such a closely knit community on the web. Someday I'll be out and about in the workforce as you guys are,

I like this thread, here's my $0.02!

It's more the opposite of getting a new job as well...

I'm giving up the corporate ladder at my current job and sitting tight part-time for awhile as I gear up to go full force towards my PhD at which time I'll quite completely.

No worries about posting it, they already know and still gave me a raise! HAHA!

PLUR
CK

[Starbuck3733T]

Don't worry about that man- education is a great place to be in. I'm guessing your PhD might have you end up teaching?

[CandyKid]

No, actually, I want to be in research... my dream is to work for J & J or Merk out in California...

Oh, btw, I'm working towards a PhD in neuropharmacology, hence my profile information... so I'd be looking at new and exciting drugs, I'm especially interested in theraputic drug effects on neurological disorders.

Fun, eh?

PLUR

[GigantoR]

Well, this isn't for sure yet, but its the closest thing I've had to a job so far.

I went to my great grandfather's funeral last weekend and while I was there I talked to a great uncle of mine. Cool guy, been doing graphic and webdesign as a job for years. He is now working on Texas Instruments website. I told him I did the same thing even though my coding is pretty bad(awful) and rusty, and that I pretty much just did design and layout in Dreamweaver and Photoshop and graduate college in May. He was like "Cool! I can call some people and probably get you a job, just get a portfolio site up as soon as you can and I'll see what I can do."

So, the next bit of cash I get is going towards my own webhosting and I need to clean up a few sites so they look more attractive to anybody who might be looking at me to do it for a job. I know some of y'all remember the website I used to have linked in my profile, probably gonna have to get rid of the scantilly clad women to make it presentable at all.

If and when I get the portfolio site up I'll post it for you guys so you can give me some commentary on it if you'd like. If not, just check it out.
So, while this isn't a guaranteed thing, it at least gives me something to prepare for after college, which is nice, because I had no clue what I might be doing.

[fivecheebs]

Thats cool mate :thumb:

FWIW, other than being graphically intensive the disign of your site was spot on (to a layperson like me). Im sure if you put your mind to it you should be laughing.

I use a great place for hosting (it UK based though) 1GB space 75GB monthly bandwidth, 4 domains, CPanel, unlimeted FTP and email accounts, PHP SQL and a shed load of other stuff i dont remember ... all for very little money really (especially when you consider that i share it with a couple of mates ^_^)

LOL ... i used to blag studen prices for blkoody ages at brands hatch when i was bigtime into bikes. I always used to plead that i had forgotten my NUS Card when i never even had one.

AS for the hosting, im very pleased for the price, lets take the hosting chat to PM ..... its a 'ikkle bit ot here innit.. :lol:

I've got a six year old student ID card that's still valid for all intents and purposes, save for how young at unbearded I was. Dumbasses went to a new design and never included the expiraton on the card! :lol:

ROFL!

This isn't really a 'job', but it's damned close enough...

I'm leaving my current lab at the end of this year and going back to school full time so I can finish up a PhD in somewhat less than 5 years total!

Regardless, I'll be doing DAT right now (drug of abuse testing) starting with MDMA and cocaine studies. Ahh, it'll be so much more fun than this place, I'm really tired of 'ultra pure' water... ha. What a lie that is!

PLUR

Well I just managed a job move. I took a change and gave notice onmy contract so I could say I was available at a fixed date rather than 1 month's notice and managed to get something lined up to start one day after the end date.

More of the same - SQL2000 coding for a bank, but in the City rather than Canary Wharf this time.

[Risky]

SQL2005 does look very nice. For a start I'll welcome back TRANSFORM as I'm an old Access hand abnd it would be handy for reporting.

But moreover this release might be a good one for me to get up to speed on early so you're in line for projects whne they show up next year or thereafter.

Just got promoted to a Systems Engineer at Target Corp. (http://www.target.com) The department I'm going to be working in is responsible for resolving issues with the software in our stores. Permanent resolution of issues rather than recovery :bounce:.

Awesome, my wife loves target. hard to keep her out of there!

[zittware]

I guess I should make this official... as it's been commented about in a couple of threads on the internet.

I'm in the mitz of relocating my entire life from Portland,OR to Austin,TX.

About 3wks ago; I accepted a new "senior" title and relocation within the same company. I'll be moving from one division to a new division which is basically a startup in Austin. The company many will know as the company formally to have a dropped e.

My new title:
"Senior Product Development Engineer"

As such, I'll be in and out of touch as I prepare to sell, move, and buy a new home.

BTW: I don't not represent this company in any way by this (or any other) post.

13 months of being a payed politician. Very nice for me. Not so nice for all the students that I'm supposed to represent if I suck at it.

[jedimas729]

Well great news, although some of it is kinda late: I got a full time job with benefits last month! Getting paid a little more then I was before but I am now full time instead of part time and I am doing the same thing I was before!

Second bit of news is that I finished my last class of college and I am going to graduate! I have a month until the summer commencment but it sure is a relief knowing that I passed my class and am actually going to get a degree!
No more schooling for me yay!!

[GigantoR]

Well, two parts here. Graduated in May with my bachelors of Applied Arts and Sciences! 5 years and I'm done, woohoo! Also, I start Monday as a sales rep for a local fitness club. Nothing spectacular but its a paycheck and will give me somethin to save up so I can get into my own place.

[Decadence]

congrats to everybody
Im hoping to get my first job at a local hardware store that i applied for on friday. I don't know if they'll hire me because I can't work very much hours, but i know a family friend that works there and they love him so if all goes well I can start making some money. By the way, I'm only 15.

[perry]

Wow, everybody's getting around, it seems. Congrats to all of you. Nothing like the feeling of starting a new job that you're really excited about.

I've been mucking around at a support job for about a year now, and just yesterday landed a job doing tests for a major swedish telecom company. Maybe not the sexiests job in the world, but I'll be hired by another company and sit there as a consultant, so it's a pretty sweet deal. Plus, it's a lot closer to what I studied back in school.

Kickoff: Aug 31, after three weeks of vacation. Life's good.

Thanks guys, I have not had a chance to celebrate yet, but this saturday I am going to sink a few down and try to grasp the past couple of weeks of my life as well as down a fiew pints in honor of you all. Honestly its a bit unreal as well as unerving due to job responsibilities.

[Reitau]

[fivecheebs]

Nice one Ronni :thumb:

I used to work as a fishmonger years ago... you soon get used to the smell :D. Quite an interesting job though if you see lots of different species.

Congratulations Ronni :cheers:

Fish production?
What, you mean you'll be laying eggs & stuff? :huh:



Hehe, j/k. Congrats! :toast:

[CandyKid]

Congrats! Go give your mom a big hug after work! :D

[The_Dragon_No1]

lol cheers guys... man the first day was F*** , 6 hours straight, holding 10-20kg fish in the eyes with my left hand and just cuting the heads of em, my left hand was all numb,after the end of the day..but good workout tho :lol: :lol: :D :wacko:


(im not gonna grow old there,that for shure ) :mask:

[jaguarking11]

Ive had quite a few shity jobs myself. From working in a nasty old supermarket to a crappy resturant and working in dust all day in construction.

All I can say is if its honest work then there is honor in that.

Congrats on the new job, hold on for a while and something good will turn up at some point dont worry.

[DickNervous]

Congrats and I am glad I don't live with ya, 'cause I can only imagine what you smell like when you get home! Was there a train of stray cats following you as you walked down the block?:eek:

But like jaguarking said, it's honest work and it pays the bills. At least you won't be on an episode of that show "The World's Dirtiest Jobs". It's not like you are cleaning the NYC sewers, collecting bat guarno, or anything like that....

Besides, like you said, it is a good workout. So you will get all nice and buffed up for the summer to make the girls at the beach swoon. :D
