I get a call from an ex-coworker from my last job. We became friends during the time we worked together, but he quit before that lay off happen and we stayed in touch. Anyway. He has a position at another company and tells me one of the clients his company works for is hiring and he passed my resume to them, so be ready for a call. Well they call me ten minutes later and it went very well. It was an awesome opportunity with much better pay than my last job and also work from home. She had me down to start training on August 6th... I was so excited and relieved. Well guess what. It was all good until she found out I live California. They don't hire in California.
My ex-coworker felt really bad. I told him don't and I was beyond appreciative that he would pass my resume to them and to please do it again if anything else came along.
What a bummer though.
