WOW No more Suckage!! (Lost Job= GREAT oppertunity!)

[ToolManTimTaylor]

O. k where to start. Oh yeah Guys, In my past thread (This sucks what would YOU do?) I want to thankyou ALL for helping me keep a positive attitude. Well it paid off.



I was going to update y'all last week but I was thrown into a whirlwind of work,testing,and certification renewal. I landed a job with Servpro (A disaster recovery company) as an estimator. Being I have alot (17+ years) of construction history behind me as well as structural integrity work and Mold remediation certified, I entertained the thought by submitting a resume.



Well I got a phone call and the guy was interestedand liked what he saw in my posting. With that said I went thru two interviews and landed the job!! I am making Nearly double and a half what I was before Oo. I sort of have a unique position with servpro. As an estimator (For me right now it's Mainly fire and soot damage and of course when a fire gets put out I also have the water side as well) but I will update you when I can get the facts to you straight.



So I just passed my IIRCRC s-500 test with flying coulors and am looking forward to getting master certified in all disaster categories, biochemistry, and advanced structural integridation certification.



The bad part is I am sick as hell with some sort of south ugandin flu :{ I can honestly tell you guys It is taking all my strength to type this.



So ya see it was a blessing in disguise I am finally making BANK baby!!!

Don't worry TMTT your budget will grow to be equal of your income. When I doubled my income with an employer change a couple years ago, one of the first things the wife said was, "Good, I guess I don't need to work anymore!" She's still working but she also just got a new truck :{

 

[Extreme1]

Congratulations! 2. 5 would ROCK! It must have been hard to maintain your composure when the offer was made. Resist the temptation to send flowers to the HR ***** that fired you.



I'll be contracting back to the place that downsized me a couple months ago. I'll be making "only" 60% more but they claim to be saving big $$ by firing all the people that do the work.

 

[Jaysyl]

Good news.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Congrats!! I've seen this kind of stuff time and time again. Enjoy the new job.

P. S. A gal I used to work with got canned and had some pretty good job offers in the same field recently. It's good to network and keep in touch with folks - if the manure hits the fan... it's nice to be ready.
