Last night I took my second online assessment from Comcast. I never would have thought that it would be so involved to become a cable installation tech. It was 5 timed test 3 of which were math that had to be done without a calculator and I suck at doing math in my head. Hope my scores were high enough. Now I’m just waiting for an official offer of employment from HR. Then I start my paid training followed by 6 months working with an experienced tech. It’s a lot of work but completely worth it for the increase in income ( that is not dependent on the housing market) and the resources it will allow me to focus on getting my websites (adszi.com and coollist.org) more traffic. Hopefully I will hear back within the next 48 hours.

A few days ago I sent out my resume to about 15 different companies ranging from retail to blue collar. Today while I was working I got my first call back. It was from Comcast, I passed the phone interview (while I was at my primary job none the less). Now I am waiting for my online assessment to be emailed to me. Once I pass that I have a second assessment which will be followed up with 8 weeks training then 6 months working under another installation tech. It’s grunt work but it pays good and has great benefits. I can’t wait to get the assessments out of the way so I can get started.

I’m a little annoyed this morning. I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Since I have been at work everyone who has answered their phone has told me they already picked a moving company. Still have heard from any of the companies I have sent my resume to. Wow I sound like a whinny bitch, time to put my back into it and get some shit done.
