So one thing I've learned throughout this process is that people do not call back. This should not be a shocking revelation to me, with all my years of sales experience, leaving voice mails only to never hear back from that person again, until that one lucky day when you catch them on the phone. I wonder what people think when they listen to my voice mails? They must not think much!
On somewhat of a positive note, I applied for a job at a company called Lewtan Technologies. I saw an opening online, and lo and behold I know about 5 people who work for that company. So I contacted a friend of mine who is submitting my resume. The company is made up of not only Bentley College alums, like myself, but also alums of my old fraternity. So if I can't get an interview here...well, then we may have issues.
The field is a bit different than the insurance gigs I've been shooting for, but I think its close to the type of high end sale I've been looking for, and I believe it pays well. Plus a "warm" referral. Who knows, we may have stumbled upon something. We may have not.
What I have started thinking about is when I do land that job, what I will write about, watching this thing come full circle, wondering if it was worth it, what I've learned, etc;
But we are definitely not there yet, so let's not count chickens here.

Lewtan is basically a headquarters for our ol' fraternity. There are numerous guys there. Plus if you went through Bdog I'm positive you won't have a truck hit you like the last referral you got from a friend with that other company.
