Another Good Interview

Had an interview this afternoon and they've already invited me back for a 2nd interview as well as for my references.

Hopes not up, but this one seems like a good fit also (much like the last one that I thought I had nailed about a month ago).

Casual environment, down to earth people and a little more mature than the last place I worked. It's a technology organization so they appreciate their IT/support people.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Meeting with the VP of Support on Thursday - fingers crossed!

One Door Closes....

Got word late this afternoon that the position I had interviewed for and thought I was a really good fit for was filled from within the organization... Oh well... at least I know now.

That door is closed and I can move on mentally now.

Had another interview this morning with an outfit that seems interesting, but there might be a little more travel than I may like... let's see what happens with this one... their timeframe is 2 weeks (plus or minus) to fill the position so hopefully I make the 2nd cut.

As a good friend and former boss of mine says - "just gotta press..."

So with that, it's time to press on...

Anxiousness Sets In

Wednesday... getting antsy about getting "the call"...

Hoping that it will be today or tomorrow at the latest that I hear from the organization that I interviewed with earlier in the week.

In the meantime, keeping busy with taking care of some things around the house, paying some bills and will take a quick ride on the motorcycle in a few minutes so I can focus on other things.

Fingers still crossed!!!

Confidence...

It's building...

Had an interview today and it felt like I nailed it. The people I spoke with were nice, approachable and honest about what was happening in the organization.

I believe I am one of 3 people in the running for this position and it felt very good. Only thing that scares me is that one of the people interviewing me was doing it from home so I couldn't see any body language. The one in the office with me was very relaxed and it seemed more like a conversation than an interview.

Then when I got home I found out that a 2nd outfit had called me while I was out - presumably to schedule an interview. At the very least, people are wanting to talk to me!

The VP of the organization I spoke with today said that they are looking to make a decision this week. Tomorrow I will be sure to put the thank you notes in the mail. Who knows - maybe that will be what puts me over the top of any other candidate.

Fingers crossed but not getting hopes up (just in case)...

Now It Begins...

Interviewed today for a position... bit of a drive, but seems like a decent outfit.

The interview process (at least for round 1) was strange... HR and 2 techies in the room with me... answered HR type questions then answered some questions for the technical crew... didn't know the answers to all of them, but admitted it up front... I think they appreciated the honesty and some of the answers I had for them.

Next was a small technical "test".. not pass/fail, but was something for them to gauge my technical abilities, etc. I think I actually did pretty good with that part of it too...

Got home, had lunch and shot off a thank you letter to the person who coordinated the meeting.

Fingers crossed...
