So I have a question for ya'll. I had an interview with a company back in October (the good one) that I was supposed to get back to if I were interested closer to when I was going to be done. I.E. now. I think they would be a great company to work for, but I'm not sure if the work is for me. That said, it would be interesting... I'm just more interested in doing "dirty sites" right now than modelling "clean sites" (like for finding good sources for drinking water wells).
Since then I interviewed with burgers company last week and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. It would give me a greater opportunity to work with dirty sites, but I was interviewed by the wrong group (mostly the clean sites guys) so they were going to pass along my resume and put in a good word (they were impressed with me) but this all could take a while.
Well, this morning I got an e-mail from the guy I had my interview with back in October. He was wondering if I'm done yet and if I have accepted another job offer. I don't know what I should do I can probably put off e-mailing him back for a couple of hours, but I'll have to reply to him today.
What would you do? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by being too picky right out of school.
In other news, AF and I booked ourselves plane tickets to BC last night! Yay! I'm so excited for my vacation. I spent all night last night looking up hotels in Whistler. Hopefully will be able to convince some people to come along with us to make it more affordable ($200+ / night on the weekend!) Otherwise we might go up for a night mid-week. We'll also be there for KB's 30th birthday which I'm super excited for. I miss that girl :(. So if QC or KB are reading this, I'll be in touch soon, but till then, I'll be out from March 12 to the 19ths :)

What would you do?

I would say at least go in and talk to company #1. Even if the work is not exactly what you wanted, you may be able to move into that field (if they do it). Otherwise, you're not locked in for life, you could stay there for a year or two until you find something you like better. The best time to find a job is when you already have one. That's just my two cents ;)
I'd say be honest with them, that you're really interested in "dirty sites" and maybe ask if they have any opportunities that you could be involved with, in addition to what they've already discussed with you. Maybe there will be other projects that you could help out with after you start. :)
Also, it wouldn't hurt to contact the people in Company #2 to see if they will get back to you sometime soon. You deserve a timely answer from them.
I'll try not to give an unbiased answer. If you haven't already, I would do a bit of research with regards to company #1. Talk to the captain, and speak with the captain's old captain about said company. I had them on a pedestool, but not so much anymore. And if I'm not mistaken, they are relatively new to the contaminant industry...
JP was in Guelph the other day and spoke about you and the cont. group. JP is on "him" (whoever that is) about your resume - but it wouldn't hurt to send JP an email in the next few days or so to remind him. Things are busy around here and so a week really feels like 2 days.
So what did you decide to do?
