Getting A New Job
So, I planned to move to the OKC area in the Fall. Besides just wanting a change in scenery, there were a few reasons for this move at first.
- Kelsey is going to college at OU in the Fall, it would be nice to be close to her.
- There was a job opportunity in OKC at Sprint for me.
- I have a lot of friends at OU and UCO.
So, I set a date of September 1st to be moved to Norman. I had a job practically guaranteed at Sprint OKC, I had Ben as my roommate, and I had a few good reasons to move. But I figured, why settle on the easy… I have some time, why not try to find a better job in Norman if possible.
While perusing Job listings in Norman, almost all of them specifically said: “Please apply in person”, this presented an issue as it was difficult to apply in person anywhere in Norman when I lived in Tulsa, but then I saw a few from OU, and figured that would be the perfect place to work… and I could apply to all of them online. I made some calls, got some names, put together my resume, references, and cover letter, applied to a few different positions and crossed my fingers.
Well, yesterday, I got a call back for a interview with the OU IT department. I go tomorrow for my interview at 3pm. They sounded pretty excited about my qualifications over the phone. I really hope this works out, as it would mean saving a lot of gas, making a LOT more money, and pretty much just being the perfect job for my life and career. So wish me luck, it should go well.

OMG Phil that’s awesome!
But I’m gonna miss you sooo much.
You’d better come back and visit.
