Hi everyone who hasn't seen me in forever!

I'm still around and first started applying to jobs in early September, so almost two months until I got a job offer. Many places I applied to did not even reply, deny or communicate.  I got two phone interviews that interestingly enough said that I would move on to the next step(but never heard back from them). I later found out that post interview emails are EXTREMELY critical. 
Anyways, after 3 phone interviews and a double-panel in person interview, I got a job offer:
55K entry level position with training at a Fortune 500. 

So yes - Thomas Edison State University is respected on your resume and if they asked if it was Online, I said yes.
Now I just have to pass pre-employment screening

P.S.
Before this I was in Europe applying for jobs there and vacationing as my parents live there and my sister got married Smile
