A day of interviews
Yesterday I went in for a day long round of interviews for the Iraq job. I got to meet everyone from the CEO of the company down to the guys I’d be headed overseas with. I seemed to get along with everyone and did pretty well in all the interviews I believe. There was one interview with one of the founders where I think I tripped up a bit but I know why he was grilling me so much. The company is his baby and he wants the best people they can find. I hope I still made a good impression with him. After hearing exactly what they want me to do over there I know I can do the job and am the best person for it.
As for the details on the job I’m under an NDA but I can say they do this cool thing, that does this other neat thing, which makes something else make really pretty pictures. The stuff they do is so interesting and cool I was flabbergasted. Now, not only do I want the job because it’ll get me off the contractor bandwagon and pay better but also because they just do some cool cutting-edge stuff. My current job is interesting and all but it’s a lot of the same stuff from day-to-day and I never know if they’ll end my contract from week to week. There it would be ever changing, challenging, and a much more secure position. I also like working for small start ups as it’s a constantly evolving workplace. Exactly the kind of job I want.
It looks like I’ll have to do one final round of interviews before it’s over but right now I believe I have a much better than even chance at the job and am confident in my ability to do the work. I anxiously await a call from them.
