Job Interview

[BuzzLY]

I have a job interview today!

If you believe it in, wish me luck. If you're Christian, pray for me. And if you're spiritual, send some good karma toward 5/3 Bank, downtown Cincinnati, between 11am and 1pm.

I have 4 interviews! I hope that's a good thing. Thankfully the last one is with the guy recommending me for the job :)

If all goes well, you guys won't see me online at 4am quite as often any more.

Here's hopin'!

Well... you could come to london (not too far from reading) on the 24th of this month...

[redrabbit]

That is very bad timing actually. Im going away for a week on the 16th, which means i am coming back on the 24th, and i got to work on the 25th and 26th.

I need to get a job :(

A full time one i mean - for the summer.

He's very quiet..... 'course, it'll probably be a few days (if ever :mad: ) before the reply comes.

[redrabbit]

HELLO?!

* gary knocks the window to see if anyones at home *


Don't you just hate when people do this?

[BuzzLY]

The interview went well, thank you. I'm not sure the pay will be where I want, but we did talk salary, and they seemed concerned that the job is in line with what I want to do in my career (there is probably less than 25% development work). There are a number of things I want to do in my life, and although programming is very much fun (and something I will continue to do at least on the side), I also want to teach, write, and get into management roles. This job is a good transition into those areas, and I told them as much. Now I am just waiting for the beauracratic methodologies to work through their processes, and await their answer.

The good thing is that the person I talked to, my "in" at the company, is the VP in charge of the department I would be working in, and the last person with whom I interviewed. So, I have high hopes.

I will let you know immediately and quite loudly when I get the word.

Thanks!

[Merve]

Loudly...hmmmm....


Like this?

:D

[BuzzLY]

Pretty much like that... if I didn't get it I would say:

I didn't get the job!

But see... the cool thing is, I don't have to do that, because I DID get the job! Woo Hoo!

[tommynanda]

CONGRATS DUDE!!!

[BuzzLY]

Thanks!

[bubblenut]

Yay for job! Yay for Buzz!

[Elizabeth]

Damn you, I was getting ready to write a really sympathetic post (I can be serious you know) :glare:

But congrats on the job anyway :D

Hehe... I was wondering if that would get someone. I guess you were the most gullible :D

Thanks a bunch! Now let's just hope I don't screw it all up... :)

One word of advice: don't eat the chemicals.
