So herre's the story, a couple of weeks ago I applied for a job within my company thats about 5 minutes away from my home. (my current job is an hour way in one direction) Ideally this job is a perfect match because of the fact that I have done the work before for many years, I know many of the people already in the group and of course its only 5 minutes away. However the hiring supervisor apparently did'nt think so or maybe did'nt look at my resume closely because he sent me an email saying I did'nt have the experience needed. I found that really strange considering that 85% of my work experience revolved around that kind of work (desktop support, networking, etc.) . Anyway I was really let down but I decided to give it one more try, I sent the supervisor an email with a little more detail about my experience and also how I worked with many, many members from his group. I then contacted at least 5 people from his group and asked them for any help or recommendation that they would feel comfortable giving. Well this morning I got an email from the director of the group who wants me to come in for an interview, so right now I'm moshing around the house and screaming like a kid. I think have a really good chance now.
Cliff Notes
Applied for job close to my house
Hiring supervisor says I don't have enough experience
I scratch my head in disbelief and send out emails and voicemails to ask for recommendations
This morning I get an interview directly with director of the group
Me very happy
