Jobs for everyone! Wee-hee!
Hey all, just an update on what is happening on my end...
As you all well know, my lovely and talent wife is now gainfully employed with Harvard Business School, I have received and accepted an offer for employment as well!
I will be starting as a Web Designer for P3I - a technology contractor which works with the U.S. goverment. The contract that will be working within is at the Volpe Center, part of the Department of Transportation. I will be responsible for several large websites for external and internal use (maintenance and constant development), utilizing and extending and programming application and content management components, etc. Of course, I will also be doing design.
With it being information-rich and goverment-owned, it needs to be 100% standards and accessibility compliant, and this I have good experience with in higher education... so no big deal at all. Also, as time goes on, and I learn all the ropes, I will be more and more working with building applications components and building the overall content management and application-end strategy of how everything is delivered.
I only had the interview this last Monday, they called my references yesterday, and they made me an offer (excitedly) this morning. After talking with Alyssa and asking a few questions, I accepted! They did make me a rather generous offer, so it looks like home-ownership for Alyssa and I may be closer on the horizon than before. It is doublely nice that Alyssa and I both have nice, shiny new salary jobs with benefits and all that jazz at this point in our lives. Yay us!
I will be hearing from their HR people with the official letter/paperwork.
As for things on the home-front (in terms of Boston University) everyone is really excited for me. They all expressed that it was a shame the BU in the last year it has been in process, never got their shit together to pick me up permanently, but they are happy I got a good, stable position.
I will keep everyone up to date as everything progresses and will be starting in the next few weeks!
