Finally found work and now I get tons of other job offers...what gives?
I was laid off due to this Scamdemic last year. I’ve finally found work but now I’m getting interview requests and job offers left and right. Before I got this job it was all rejection letters day after day. What a topsy-turvy world we live in.

I’m not trying to brag so please don’t take it that way. I was getting really pissed off and started to lose hope of ever finding work again but I finally DO find something and now EVERYONE wants me?? WTF?

the ones who spy on you know you will make a great bitch because being unemployed triggers you.
a mafia decides who gets what and your emotional outburst must have impressed the higher up.
only one question remains,are you ready to kill a child and make a pizza.
i suspect hillary will need a replacement soon and ivanka is too obvious.
you may end up the next hillary!

I've found the same thing happens with women. I go went a long time not being able to find one that was interested, once I found one seems like they were everywhere.

So put simply? Timing.

Companies fiscal years begin/end in February. That means all of them get their new budgets in February and as such the month or two leading up to February are your BEST chances (especially in a field with minimum flexibility in budgets like IT/IS) to get a new job.

It happened because you stopped saying to yourself, "I'm out of work...", and started saying, "I have a job now!"

Doesn't make sense - none of it.

One time, spent nearly a year looking for a decent job.


Then all of a sudden and a number of rounds of interviews, I'm nearly in for a position. They won't say yes, but they're pretty damn sure it's going to happen. BUT, dragging their feet.

Meanwhile, offer #2 comes in. Of course offer #1 comes in a day or two later after noticing my delay in interest.

Offer #2 came in 15 minutes before I'm interviewing at Offer #3 location. Manager of #3 says if you are sitting here, you're hired.

I'm thinking, wtf man. Where was this so many months ago?

Exactly. Women always want what another woman has. It has happened to me many times.

Take the best one and don't stop looking. Steps up often happen that way. Keep taking the best one until the offers stop coming in.
I did it. I did it on purpose. And I'll do it again.

Things will always happen this way. Your fortitude and conviction are being tested. Choose wrong and the cycle will come up again. Choose wisely and learn life lessons. The path of learning is never easiest.

It's simple, when your available no one cares about you, but once your taken your more employable, same as having a wedding ring on, once married and your ring is on, women find you more appealing. crazy to say the least.
