New hope

By Steve Gordon

All we can do is push forward and hope for the best. I had what I thought was a very good interview with the Summerwood Corp. this morning. Remember they dismissed me quickly after a phone interview several months ago. This was different and my ex-offender status is a hurdle but not a barrier apparently.

I was told someone would be in touch with me in a couple days. I am guessing (hoping) it would be to set up a second interview. We will see what happens.

Summerwood is the parent company of Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silver and I think they have some association with Pizza Hut.

Footnote: A week after the interview the letter came from Summerwood that they did not have a position to offer me at this time, ya da ya da.
