Work At Last!

Friday, January 25, 2008


It’s been a while since my last post. I have done many revisions to my resume and been through tons interviews, and I finally landed a new job. In my best case scenario of finding a job within three months I was surprised to get one within a month and half. It was not all that bad since I did start graduate school for a masters in Information Systems and well played WOW like hell.


The company I will be working for is Electronic Data Systems. I was hired as a Business Analyst in West Lafayette. Yeah, Its a hike from hobart, but it would be as much time as going to places like Oak Park, IL since traffic is really bad so it is nice that I will be doing a reverse commute. I did not get anymore than what I had at HealthCall, but I am going to receive the following that HealthCall did not provide:



  • 401(k) Matching

  • Formal Training

  • Mentoring

  • 3 weeks paid time off

  • Diversity Day

  • Holidays (think ~10 days)

  • Work Laptop

  • Cheaper Health Plan for same amount of coverage

Well, I guess it is much better than before. The cons would be it is about 75 miles from my house, but Stephanie and I are moving in the next year and half to indy anyway. So I just have to suffer for about a year. The other con was the drug test I took, they made a bald spot in the back of my head. The woman cut too much hair! Reading my last post, I can’t believe I found a position before February. I figured it would take 3-6 months. I think I really got lucky. I also Like to thank Kent, Curt, and Dr. D for helping though the whole process.
