I was in the impression you loved the job you have. Why are you still looking to change positions? I would think after your dad pulled strings to get you this job if you leave you will burn a lot of bridges for both of you. 
But even so BEST WISHES in your search for a new job.
Oh no no no no - this job is starting to wind down. Even now there's really not enough to keep two people busy. We've already approached our managers to get information on possible future assignments, and they have two possible options for me, but no definite ideas yet.
Plus, we're contract workers - we get no benefits, we're basically considered "temporary." It is not uncommon at all for people to move around in this line of work, and employers know that if they don't keep someone working, they'll go elsewhere. There's a LOT of opportunity out there.
Before I take any new job I will give my current employer the opportunity to confirm a new assignment for me, but they know how it works. I'd like to stay with AEP, but I certainly won't burn any bridges on my way out. We've worked very well together, but the "you gotta do what you gotta do" mantra is very well known around here. I'm also not leaving until at least the beginning of February.
