Got a job interview! OT

This is kind of a weird kismet sort of thing. There's a small book
publishing company about 20 miles from me. They do those fundraising
cookbooks that schools and church groups put together to raise funds as well
as for people who want to publish their own family cookbooks and other
books.

I've been communicating with this guy via email for years. Must have been
in 2000 when he sent me some cookbooks they had laying around. He asked me
to try some recipes from an American Heart Association cookbook and write a
review. That was a $60 hardback book! Painless as can be to try some
recipes and write a review for a free cookbook... I already owned a couple
of these books. Anyway, he sent along some other books he had laying around
as a bonus.

I use their Freeware to store my recipes and occasionally post to the food
discussion board off their web site. Another "member" of the discussion
board suggested I send him a resume, so I did. Well I'll be darned - he
replied I must have been reading his mind because he was on the verge of
looking for a tech support person! I'd be wearing many hats. Tech Support
for their self publishing book software; phone customer service about book
publishing in general. Some data entry (ISBN numbers, etc). Stuff like
that. I think it would be fun working in a place that publishes primarily
cookbooks... ya'll know I love to cook!

He's going to call me next week with a day and time for us to meet to talk
about this. He is already aware of my planned trip with John at the end of
April and doesn't have a problem with it

Jill

That sounds so much like *your* job that I cannot believe it! Keeping
fingers and toes crossed and sending any purrs Laku and Nico can spare
so you'd get it. In small companies you *do* get to wear a lot of hats,
but looking at it from the positive side, it's not likely to get boring
anytime soon. I sure hope you'll get it!

Whoa Jill, good luck sweetie!!! This sounds perfect for you - we'll be
purring mega purrs and keeping all extremities crossed for you!

Thank you, Christine! Yeah, I'm tired of the big corporate world where they
don't care if you have a life. I wouldn't have to carry a pager or be on
call 24/7 at this place. And I don't mind the idea of wearing many hats -
keeps the boredom down There is nothing worse than being bored at your
job, watching the clock.

Jill

Wow! This sounds like an ideal job for you, Jill. I hope so much it works
out, so you can get some income again.

Tweed ----fingers crossed.
In Germany the phrase is "holding my thumbs" so I'll do that as well ;-)

All appendages crossed for you Jill!

I've had a couple interesting occurences in the find-a-job category
this past week myself, but nothing as good as an interview. Luck with
that - from what little I know of you, this does sound like it's made
to order


btw - what's the name of the company? I've been looking for something
to store recipes in (other than my usual recipe box), and this must be
some pretty cool freeware they've got.

It's available at www.cookbooks.com - it's called ShortCut. It's a very
basic program and if you copy/paste (funny) you can't use keyboard shortcuts
like Alt+C; gotta use the mouse copy/paste functions. But what the heck,
it's free
