Thanks Scott. I'll shoot you a PM in the morning.

It's the location, Tony. If I was in Colorado doing this same job, I'd hang out a little while longer and not feel like I'm pressuring myself to return home. Problem is, Colorado is dead. It costs too much money to get the gas out of the ground and gas isn't worth anything. Even though I'm very good at my job and very versatile compared to other people in my position, I'm just a number for the company. This has been my first experience working with a large corporation and I'm honestly not sure I like it. Too political. Too just do what I tell you and don't think. Too hung up on titles instead of ability. I've even tried moving into actual engineering with the company at an entry level position. It would be a "step down" according to the position hierarchy but I consider it a step sideways. Regardless, I've been rejected multiple times and have said F-it. I more than meet the qualifications but they don't want me apparently.

Thanks guys.

Oh, funny thing happened yesterday. I think I spoke with the worst recruiter ever. He'd ask a question and then interrupt me with another before I could answer. That is at the top of my list for ways to piss me off. He also had no clue, none at all, how far SW Kansas is from ATL. Lastly, he said he was looking for someone that was basically a Pro-e guru. Does his want ad state that? Nope! His ad just says Pro-e experienced desired. He also hung up on me before I could finish thanking him for his time etc. He did that whole trying to be polite in your salutation while dropping the phone back onto the base move. I doubt he heard a word of my salutation. I honestly think I could be a better recruiter based not just on how terrible this guy was but so many of the other horrible ads that are either outright vague or filled with typos and completely amateurish.
