TMC, CFI, Roehl, Swift

Brett, and GTown.

I will be the first one to admit I am not the easiest person to get a long with. I didn't think I was being upset with either of you. But there might be some lost in writing translation going on. And that is my fault, for not being more careful about how I write things. I have always arrived to be as teachable as I possibly can. I still have my opinions, based on the high standards I place on myself. That sometimes bleeds over.

I honestly value both your thoughts and insights, even when we butt heads. I will take all this with me as I move forward. It is something I know I need to be aware of, about myself.

Daniel,..."butting heads" with us, is of no real concern. It's with the people who are in a position of power and true authority that; with the stroke of a pen, can decide you are not part of their company's future. Don't let that happen.

Please re-read the thread I linked you to with an open mind. It's all, 100% true and was NOT intended to judge you, but to help you. Brett and I (and also Six String) have obviously picked up on the exact same signals coming from you. I have not communicated with Brett in about 1 week,...it's of no coincidence we both came to a similar conclusion and are warning you to think about what you are doing.

I also suggest heading over to the Diaries section. I wrote a short piece entitled: "The Job Interview Starts When...". Highly relevant considering you are about to head-off to a company, TMC, obsessed with excellence in every way including compliance with the very basics of boundaries and following instructions. You'll see...just look at the signs warning you about staying off the grass. Don't test them...please, try to trust me.

Thanks G-town.

It took me a few minutes to realize it, but I did. In all my communications with the school, and companies, I was nothing but respectful and professional. I even politely thanked the school recruiter for her time. However, when she still persisted, I was unprofessional in hanging up on her.

3 of y'all pointed out the same thing. I am listening. And I will read those links.

Brett, as mentioned earlier, I was unaware of another link to apply was available. I would have used it, if I noticed it.

WOW.... what a great, open, and honest discourse. I love it. Recruiters are going to say whatever it takes to get you. I'm sure Dawn sounded sincere and everything, but it's her JOB to get you to choose HER company. I've been driving just under 2 years after a career in the USPS, but, through life, and common sense, I have learned some universal life truths. Number one is... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If everyone is saying one thing, but someone else is saying some different, guess who's wrong! But, if everyone is saying something different, it's YOUR job to find out the truth. Recruiters are a far worst source than the employees of a company. Ask former students. Ask current drivers of companies. That's where the truth is!! And not just one or a few, ask several, because every company has people who are sour to their company for one reason or another. I was miserable at CFI, but once my DM was moved to another team...BAM!...the company became GREAT!!! Amazing that it's the same company, and I'm the same man, but my attitude and feelings toward this company are a complete 180 from just 3 months ago.
