I just got the call. Google hired me.
Let me try that again:
GOOGLE!
HIRED!
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After two years of solid unemployment, I've finally been hired. Somebody values my skills and abilities! Validation!!
I'll be working at first as a contractor; assuming they like me after they've been working with me for a while, they'll hire me as headcount becomes available. I'll be working in the same group as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
capricious_k; the User Support team is the interface between Google and the general unwashed masses of Internet users. So I'll be continuing a career in corporate communication, just in a medium and environment very different from what I'm used to.
Oh, and the pay, even as a contractor, is about the same as the best I ever earned doing video production. :-)
Thank you to all my friends and family for your support during the longest vacation of my life.
Special thanks tocapricious_k and furycom for putting in the good word for me with the powers-that-be at Google.
