The package arrived just now. WOW great tasting stuff. I prefer the praline made with the agave nectar, it has a different sweetness to it, very smooth.

I'll never eat peanut brittle again. My taste buds are ruined. ^

great i just posted that too.

i too love the agave nectar one. it is very smooth, and clean tasting. I really wish it had hardened just a bit more, but the flavors were just superb!

If I could have gotten another of the agave nectar out without having a piece of foil in it, I would have sent it too.

The Agave Nectar is essentially a juice, so it does not make crystals like sugars do, but it does harden. I am impressed with it and use it daily, it has a low glycemic impact and tastes really good, a lot like a light honey.

It isn't often people will say, "i prefer the sugar free candy' :D

Phone interview complete. Clocking in at just under 23 minutes with the hiring manager, I'm not expecting to hear a positive response from the recruiter. :rolleyes:

Thanks. He seemed put off and like I was wasting his time. All because I had a 2.9 GPA in college. :rolleyes:

He'd be really put off by this college dropout, I am honestly terrible at phone interviews. i am glad i don't have to go through them.

I go to tradeshows for the IT industry and am offered jobs after 45 minutes of talking to the staff, on a regular basis, some of them then take the time to followup with me over the next year, like MS...
Have you looked into getting an expo pass for any telcom/it/mobile conferences? they can be had free in many cases by vendors attending. the IP Telephony Conferences may be good for this, I will let you know when I see they have one within driving range.

Yeah, only problem is I don't have a ton of IT experience on my resume. I'm all wireless telecom for the most part. Austin is very IT heavy and so most of them don't even call me back.

that is why I was thinking IP Telephony convention may work well for you, it has a good blend of all that.
