Silence and then noise
A number of days passed and I heard nothing. I called my contact and asked him what was happening. He said that if I did not hear anything by the end of the week he assumed the opportunity passed me by.
I did not hear anything that week, but on Thursday of the following week I received a call. It was John from the consulting firm.
"We have a position for a community planner. Are you interested?"
"What would I be doing?"
This is an exact quote..."You know, like, whatever community planners do."
"OK, I am interested."
"Could I start Monday?"
"No, how about two weeks. I have to get things ready before I can go."
"We need someone really soon. How about Friday?"
We had a deal.
I was transferred to a supervisor. He welcomed me to the firm and told me I would receive my assignment in two weeks, mentioning Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida as possibilities. I told him I was supposed to board a plane in one week. Well, in that case I would receive my assignment sooner.
The next day John called back to tell me had sent me an email with all the details. I was starting on Monday, right?
"Friday."
"Right, Friday."
And so I was hired.
