Okay,

So I just got out of my review meeting with my boss.

GOOD NEWS -

I found out that the rec. has gone through for the opening in the SAC office. They are opening another full-time position and that would mean that I would no longer have to commute 200 miles plus BART for a total of 6 hours traveled minimum per day.

BAD NEWS -

They will not take a transfer. They want to put the position out there. There are already 2 other people interested... one that used to work for us.

ugh. Guess I have to polish up my interview hat...

I don't have a very impressive resume, nor do I have any fancy certifications with corresponding letters behind my name, but I figure I have a couple of advantages:

- I have work in that office a lot and have a good reputation.
- I have a good working relationship with the IT person that already works there.
- I know the systems/programs like the back of my hand.
- I know the "personalities" in the office and how to make them happy.
- I have devoted 5 years to the company.

agh. wish me luck again.

Good luck, dude. At least the recommendation went through. That means a lot. Emphasize that there's no moving expenses for you, as you already live up here.

I don't think there would be any moving expenses for anyone interested. I don't think they would pay them anyway...

i hope you get it. does your company have a policy where in-house employee's get first dibs?

Doesn't sound like it. I can only hope that their experience with me will color their decision.

Even if you don't have first dibs, the fact that you work for the company should help (at least a little bit).

You already know the software and the business. They know (hopefully) that you will acclimate to the new office much quicker then anyone else.

Good luck dude.

They would be stupid not to hire you for the Sac office.
