Hey guys!  I've got a job interview later today and I'd really like to nail this one.  If it's not too much trouble, say a quick prayer for me!

(...will pass along more details later.)

for sure.

HaZaaaaaa!!

You'll get it b0b, no worries.

It's a network engineering role for a manufacturing company that recently moved into the area.  I would be responsible for managing the network hardware, software, and telecommunications for the company as a whole.  Since I'd be the only IT guy at the location I'm interviewing at, I would also handle the day-to-day IT support functions for that location.

I'm really excited about the position.  I've had a lot of interviews at a lot of different types of companies (banks, insurance companies, hospitals, an electrical distributor, etc) but this is the only position I've really, really wanted.

The guy I interviewed with would be my boss, and we really hit it off.  I'd give nearly anything to have a job with a boss I really got along with.  After all, "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life."

(...needs prayer!)

I'll be finishing my BS in Computer Science after this coming school year and I am going to attempt to reserve a position with google in Ann Arbor, hopefully in their Software Engineering department.  That would be my dream job....

Bob, do you mind me asking what company? If no, what company is it?  If yes, go hump a goat.

I got a call yesterday for a second interview with the CFO of the company, which I think is a pretty good sign.  You'll have to forgive me if I withhold the name of the company for now, but if I get an offer, I'll be more forthcoming.

Don't worry about Google.  I'm not nearly liberal enough to make the cut with them, nor do I have the ridiculous qualifications they generally look for.  Don't bother applying with Google if you've got anything less than a graduate-level degree.

(...does not hump goats.)

I was thinking of pursuing a masters   

Out of curiosity, did anyone else notice this thread has over 3600 views?  It's only five days old and only has 15 replies, yet it has nearly as many views as the "Picture and Video Thread", which is nearly a year old and has 585 replies.

(...thinks someone must be praying for him.)

Thank you so much for your prayers!  The interview went quite well.  At this point, I just have to wait for the "next step," whether that's another interview or something else entirely.  Thanks again!

-b0b
(...is excited!)

So how'd it go?

Any calls yet bobby?

I'll be making the call in twenty minutes!  Please pray for me, I really need it!

-b0b
(...fervently!)

He was in a meeting.  I'll try again at 3:30 until I get through.

-b0b
(...is on edge.)

I second stick

Alright, here's the update!

The conversation went quite well, but the meeting never took place on Monday.  It looks like it'll be next Monday or Tuesday before I get a definite answer.  I'm generally pessimistic, but I'm fairly confident I'll have a shot at the position.

Thanks again for your prayers, I greatly appreciate them!

Awesome bob, congratulations man!! you better fill us in on the juicy details

Congradulations, Bob!  Can't wait for the details either!  Is it working for the CIA in the phone companies?
