[Total Heckler]

And was told to expect a call after the holiday to schedule a in house interview!

I have been trying to get into this company for the last 3 years.

I am nervous and extremely excited. All of the guys below can't really represent how I feel right now...




Wish me luck!

 

[KavuRider]

Good luck dude!
That's awesome!!

 

[Pesqueeb]

Hell of a time to be looking for a job, I wish you the best of luck.

 

[Heidi]

Good luck to you! Your foot is in the door.

 

[Westy]

Crash test dummy?

 

[Jim Mac]

Taste tester for the King?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

G'luck!

 

[Westy]

Barnyard porn fluffer?

 

[I Are Baboon]

I have been trying to get into this company for the last 3 years.

McDonald's?

 

[drkenan]

Post up the name of the company and your contact's info and I'll put in a good reference to help you out.

 

[TN]

Wish me luck!

Good luck.

When I did the phone interview for the job I have now I wore nothing but a sarong & was in my hammock drinking a beer. I love phone interviews.

 

[Nick]

how about a referral for your current job when you bail on them???

no, seriously!

 

[steve owens]

Good luck with the job interview. Enjoy the holidays and hopefully everything will pan out for you.

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks everyone!

It isn't McDonald's unfortunately. I know they are pretty dang exclusive and quite difficult to get into (much like Google, Apple, and most other coveted Bay Area tech jobs).

I really appreciate the well wishes and I really hope things pan out.

If I got in, I would be doubling my current salary (starting) and because of this finally being able to start saving for a house and family. This would honestly be a life changing job.

My current job would understand. =]

 

[golgiaparatus]

What's the job? Did you wear a tie?

 

[kazlx]

That's awesome man. There is no better feeling than getting that first job where you feel like you can actually start saving plus afford the fun stuff. I spent so much time as a broke-a$$ student, it was nice 3 years ago when I didn't have to worry about paying the bills. I bought a house last year and have been pretty comfortable since. Plus, it is so much better when you are actually looking forward to working somewhere and it turns out that it was as good as you thought it would be.

 

[Total Heckler]

What's the job? Did you wear a tie?

It is working software/content QA. No tie necessary.

 

[dan-o]

Good luck.
Don't forget money isn't everything. If the interview sends up flags re: quality of life don't get blinded by the $. That said, I hope it's the kick ass job you think it is.

 

[Total Heckler]

Yeah my brother currently works for another part of development for the company so I have a pretty solid insider view. All signs point to awesome. =]

Thanks again everyone. I really hope I can nail the next round of interviews.

 

[TheTruth]

Great! Wear your suit inside out for good luck.

 

[Total Heckler]

Good call!

[Total Heckler]

Nailed it on multiple levels.

 

[Sandwich]

good luck dude! I recently got a new job and know the feeling of nailing that first interview. hope it works out!

 

[TheTruth]

If you get offered the job, calmly accept, and then get up and dance!

 

[Total Heckler]

Slow process, but I finally got an email today to set up a in house interview.

Just waiting to see when they want to meet in person. I thought the job had fallen through, but this is a VERY good sign.

 

[MMcG]

Who's house? Yours or theirs?

 

[jimmydean]

Who's house? Yours or theirs?

I hope it's his house. I wish I could interview out of my house. That way people wouldn't look at me as strange when I show up without pants on.

[Total Heckler]

Thanks man.

Their 'house'.

 

[SkaredShtles]

"Slow" process? I'll say. It's been 3 months. You sure you want to work for them?

 

[Tracer Tong]

Good luck and congrats on getting this far!

Translation: "First 2 people we offered the job to turned us down, so you're the only other person who bothered to apply..."

 

[dhmike]

good luck !

 

[Sandwich]

"Slow" process? I'll say. It's been 3 months. You sure you want to work for them?

eh, the GF's company took at least that long to bring her in for an interview and make her an offer. She's 1.5years in and loves it there.

HR is the problem man...those people are dumb as bricks but not as supportive.

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks everyone.

Yeah apparently the people they have been interviewing have been "weird, awkward, and antisocial" and that isn't what they are looking for in this position.

I like to think I am a pretty normal guy. Not your typical software nerd.

Interview is tomorrow. They had me set aside 5 hours for it...

 

[Sandwich]

good luck budgy. hope it works out.

 

[Heidi]

well good luck. Why the hell are they so slow...is it government?

 

[SkaredShtles]

Thanks everyone.

Not to mention those weird antisocial people turned down their offers.

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks man. I hope it does too. If I get this job my life would be changing quite a bit. I am nervous. If this doesn't work out, I do have a backup gig offered to me for 20k+ less pay. But I don't know if its worth it.

It isn't the government, its a VERY large compute/electronics company.
