I'll pull this in a week or so, since it serves no value to the forum. As always, my appreciation for this forum goes beyond words.
The outfit I've been working with has a new corporate parent, and the process of rearranging the management is underway. Marketing and Engineering were the first to be
reshuffled, and this week they got around to Quality Assurance.
I had a good run (4.5 years), can't complain.
So I'm a free agent, looking for a new team to play for. Not locked into just doing QA - I'm open to other opportunities as long as I'm helping the outfit improve.
Resume available on request, I'm on LinkedIn as Norman Lutes.
Thanks for reading.
Well bust my crackers, maybe they do?

Good luck man. You're a smart dude, you'll reel in a good
position. |
|
| |
As far as moving on, here in Silicon Valley if you work at a
company for more than a few years you get a rep for
being
un-ambitious. If you're a long term company man people
say
"Five years at the same company? What's the matter with
you?" |
|
| |
There might be some logic to that. |
|
| |
Hey, [norm] - you have my sympathies, and I hope
something good happens soon. |
|
| |
But... what about birdstrike?
sorry
<hangs head in shame> |
|
| |
I appreciate your bringing that up ['fries] - I was loath to do it but it needed to be done. |
|
| |
I'm having some cards made up - now I'll have to resist having a " Birdstrike Consulting " logo created. |
|
| |
Sounds like a good opportunity for a pay raise
somehow. |
|
| |
Birds don’t ride trikes. What a silly notion. |
|
| |
Good luck. I've never understood how people get these "job"
things. |
|
| |
best wishes [norm]
(also, as an aside, that
thing about looking unambitious if you don't move
jobs every 2 years really annoys me - it may be true,
but it assumes being unambitious is a fault. In fact
all organisations need people who stay put and are
really good at their jobs) |

Congratulations on your freedom norm. I recently got notice of my own impending freedom too. Onward & upward, eh? |
|
| |
No unrealized inklings,those back of the mind dreams? The chance is here to make that massive leap into the unknown. |
|
| |
Anyway, whatever the path, I hope your choices lend to a richer deeper life experience. |
|
| |
There are three Norman Lutes on Linkedin. |
|
| |
Same boat here. And now I guess I've lost those job getting abilities to which [IT] was alluding to. It was a simple act really - just pretend you're ready to run after a stick. Big eyes and a glossy coat also a plus. But now I'm grey and have that look that says "don't even think about it". |
|
| |
[bigsleep], do you get any joy from freelancer.com, or similar? I've
not tried them myself, but I'm curious. |
|
| |
After over a month without contact from them,
apparently I'm still in the running for the job I want
the most. (automotive battery engineer) |
|
| |
Update: they still need to get the CEO to create the
req. |
|
| |
But I'm now off the market. Keep your chin up,
norm. |

It shows three when you search for me, but that's just my one account being reflected in three different mirrors per the Linkedin software. |
|
| |
As for the moving jobs every couple of years, sometimes that applies (rapidly changing fields), other times less so (stable outfits and fields, plenty of work to be done and fiscal incentives). |
|
| |
Leave production, and, god save you, no more of QA or
customer responsiveness. |
|
| |
I mean 'people with problems' ... blearrrgh ... keep them as
references. |
|
| |
Good luck, for sure. May your day come quickly. |
|

I don't know if I could do a different trade without some serious rehab - If I became a bartender, I'd forever be hunting for the root cause(s) of each spilled drink, and working to make the rocks glass more stable. |
|
| |
Waiting too long for a drink? Unacceptable - let's lean that process out. |
|
| |
Automotive is generally hiring engineering talent. Are you
open to moving? |
|
| |
I'm open to the possibility - in my QA geek forums, my colleagues who complain the loudest are in automotive (IATF something-or-other), as opposed to aerospace AS9100 or medical 13485. |
|
| |
I wager headlines like " recalls fifteen million cars " come with some traceability and supplier control baggage. |
|
| |
There’s always advanced quality, supplier quality, and
quality in the supply base as well. |
|
| |
Want me to send you some headhunters? |
|
| |
Happy early, semi/unplanned retirement. |
|
| |
After a spell of consulting and debauchery, I am on deck to straighten out one of my consulting clients as a regular full time employee. |
|
| |
Now if I can only remember how to delete this idea ... |
|
| |
Hey, congratulations [norm]! |
|
| |
No need to take this down, just change the title to
"Process For Normzone
Getting A New Job". |
|
| |
Yay for you, Norm. And hopefully all those others who were
about to lose their gig too, back then. Ya'll should have
formed a large boyband or something. |
|
| |
Did you just assume their gender?... they could be the HalfSpice Girls. |
|
| |
Its possible to form a band without performing in it. |
|
| |
Please forgive my error in judgement, fries. I stand
corrected. (Boy/girl band). There, happy now? Wait, how do
you know they're Spicey? They could be bland, for that
matter. Hahaha |
|
| |
" Ya'll should have formed a large boyband or something — blissmiss " |
|
| |
We did, we're still working in the studio. |
|
| |
" Its possible to form a band without performing in it. - pocmloc " |
|
| |
That's why we're still in the studio. |
|
| |
I hear 8th is always looking for a lab assistant... |
|
| |
I think that's spelled l-a-b r-a-t. |
