I've got a job interview tomorrow at 3:00 pm CST. I normally would not be one to simply jump ships on a job, but my current job (Phone Tech Support) stinks, and this job not only pays better and has better benefits, but unlike my current job I would actually enjoy the work.

So if I could get a good healthy dose of those Massassi good vibes it would be great.

This job would be near perfect for me, so much so that I was actually willing to shave my beard (not all of it, but I did trim it so that it does not look like I spent the last three years living in the forest). The only problem is that if I do get this new job, I will half to dress "Business Casual" every day, and out here that may even mean a TIE! But it would be worth it.

Well, I did not have an interview today, I had FOUR interviews today. Basically I am trying for the PC Specialist role in the IT department for a small international manufacturing company. I started with an Interview with the Head of the IT department, then he showed me around the operations room, and then introduced me to the three other members of the IT team, and had me interview with them!

The second interview was with the networking specialist, by far the hardest of the interviews. Apparently the person who had this job last, literally just left after a few months. The role of a PC specialist in this department was to maintain the PC's and laptops for the company (300 some desktops and around that many laptops), to put out PO's for new parts or systems, and to install and configure new PC's. He however was more interested in playing with their servers, and would start playing with them when none was looking (not good considering he knew little about them, and they qualify as mission critical). He even went and officialy changed his Title. So the network specialist grilled me about why I wanted this job, what I was expecting, and what I was really going to be doing if I got the job, ECT. He was Nice enough, I just fear I came over a bit two enthusiastic for my own good.

Interview two was with their software and database specialist, and went well (I think). He posed some Hypothetical support questions to see how I responded, and seemed satisfied: "Hypothetically you are informed that an employees machine is having serious problems, when you go to work on it you find the office empty, what is the first thing you do?" That kind of stuff, then we discussed programming, and he mentioned that if I got this job I might be able to work a little with him as a backup for when he is busy or unavailable.

Finally I spoke with the AS/400 specialist. She simply wanted to know my history as it relates to computers, and then we discussed how if I got the job should could teach me some of the basics of AS/400 so I could back her up in case she needed it.

All and all it took about two hours, and I got a full tour of the ops center. I hope it went well, so now comes the fun part, waiting for an answer.

Anyway, THANKS FOR THE VIBES!
