Well, when I posted back in July that Jason had decided to leave Honda after 9 years and go to a supplier, I certainly never imagined that I would be posting 5 months later that he was changing jobs again! (Well, actually I am posting this 10 months later, but we left the blog alone for a while. We decided not to notify the entire world that the boys and I were staying alone during the week, so we kept the news off our blog and facebook pages.)
Anyway, a week after Jason left Honda and the Friday before he started his new job, Volkswagen called. Now, we had been waiting for that call ALL SUMMER! You see, for my 33rd birthday, Jason and I took a trip to Lookout Mountain and fell in love with Chattanooga. We've always loved Tennessee, and we knew there were many things to do in the area, but when we realized you could be at Rock City one minute, and downtown 10 minutes later, we were sold.
While we were still on my birthday trip we remembered that Chattanooga was the town who had won the Volkswagen plant out from under Huntsville and a few other places, and we looked up the career listings. Lo and behold, Jason's exact position with Honda was listed. A week or so later, he applied. Then we waited, and looked at houses, and waited, and checked into schools, and waited, and looked for jobs for me, and waited. Finally we had about decided they weren't going to call. Then the opportunity at a supplier came open. Jason decided to take it. Then, of course, they call. Jason was initally going to tell them no. That he wouldn't even interview. Then he went to his first day at his new job. Lets just say, he knew enough on Day 1 to know he should at least TALK to Volkswagen.
Months went by and MANY interviews later they FINALLY offered Jason a job around Thanksgiving. He signed on the line and the rest is history. He is now a Process Audit Technical Specialist for Volkswagen Group in Chattanooga, TN.
