This past week I've been getting resumes for people to fill the position I'm leaving. It was two years ago that I was in a similar place. I moved to Denver from Orlando and immediately starting looking for a job. After a while I gave up and restarted my business.

So as I get the resumes now I'm more sympathetic. I understand what they are going through, how they want communication. That was my biggest gripe when I was doing my search. Even when I had a phone interview and in person interview, it was difficult waiting to hear back, even when I initiated phone calls.

I interviewed for a position about a month and a half ago. I've been leaving voice messages with the hiring manager, and finally today I heard from him. Their company got bought and they were in a holding pattern. It still would have been nice to hear something.

In the meantime, I decided to leave the company I was with and get commitments from various clients to do greater amounts of things. If this company I interviewed with still wants me I doubt I'll go with them. Maybe they can outsource some work to me as a contractor, but I'm ready to have more control over my destiny.
