Well monday i got an email saying the position had been filled...(I was kind of disapointed but hey I've still got a good job anyway so no biggie right?)

So today I get a voicemail from the secretery of the head of Metropolitian development for Indy, so I call her back at my break time...

She tells me that they didn't interview me for the building inspectors job because they thought I would be more qualified for another position they had opening up.... a project development/building codes anaylyst.... that makes about DOUBLE what the building inspector makes,,, I tell her i]I don't have the examiners certifications that the jobs lists and she tells me thats ok... if i get the the job they will PAY for my training for those certifications and you have 2 YEARS to get them LOL......

Be careful world, old shock might just have stuck his foot in the door in the political world and arena......LOL (j/k)

But this would be a great oppurtunity for me to further my career goals and would look awesome on a resume eh?

I don't know just yet... I need to know more about the job and we would have to talk about hard figures first... LOL They do have an awesome benefits package though.... something like 15 paid holidays and around 5 or 6 weeks paid vacation, I would get a city car and a gas card too....


So if they offer me the position we would still have some negotiating to do first..

2Shock.... will you be able to take the car home as well?? I know here where I work. If you take a city car home you have to at least pay the tax on the gas you use. They just take it out of our checks each week.
