Dan's busy day...

WOW - thanks for all your emails asking about Dan.. he had a great day.

His interview with #1 went great. It was 3 1/2 hours and he interviewed with the entire department. They pretty much left him with the belief he is just waiting for an offer. There is some debate as to whether to bring him on as management or at the senior management level. She said she is putting something together and will try to get it to him before he leaves, but Wednesday close of business at the latest. That sounds like offer to me.

Dan' meet and greet interview with #2 went VERY well. He had a phone call from them and they guy said he is really excited to meet Dan tomorrow so that he can stop interviewing... ;). He also said that this entire company is a bunch of former #1 employees. He'll find out tomorrow why they left #1. OH - and when Dan said he could interview at 8am - but would have to leaby by 930am since he has an interview in New Gloucester - they guy knew exactly who he was interviewing with - and said they were great people and they were a great marketing firm.

Then he has his interview with #3 after his interview with #2.

He also talked to a big telecom company about a sales job like what he's doing now... and was pretty much offered a job on the spot. They told him to call them back when he knows what date he can start and they'll get him going.

He also has to call back his contact at that one sales job... they are playing tag. He's hoping to meet with her tomorrow - but he's running out of time.

SO - it sounds like this trip was a great venture for dan and a super ego boost. I just hope it's a big fat success too. I'm looking for one good offer - but can you imagine him getting 3!!???

oh - he has also learned a lot more about the town and it seems that it is a great little town for marketing. There are 40 marketing firms there and 10 of them are very well known national groups. It's kind of a little marketing hub. :) He loved it there, loved the corporate culture at the offices he stopped by. Good day all around. Plus - Joanna bought him dinner (fish and chips... yum!), he's a good date.

He dropped off about 30 resumes today - so he was busy. Mostly to marketing firms - but also to a couple sales jobs.

So -thanks for all your prayers and support... they appear to be working. At least we know that he was meant to get out there and interview. We also know without a doubt we want to live there. That's a good feeling.
