The page won't load for me so I haven't been able to read the article yet, but I am a construction worker turned programmer as well. I have found myself in the same boat a number of times. I have been turned down for a couple of jobs due to not being enthusiastic enough or because I couldn't come up with a good enough reason for wanting to work at that particular company. Recently I was turned down for a job because I have a side hobby that might distract me from my main job. sux.
