Oh go ahead. I'm used to the nose comments. LOL

Or are you thinking about using Conjugator? Been used.

Hey man,
Even if you think you tanked the interview, don't sweat it compeletly. I'm happy to announce that I finally f'n landed a new job that starts at the end of this month, with a subsidiary of Dow Chemical called FilmTec. And as far as I know, we won't be manufacturing Napalm lol.

But! It was a long hiring/interview process. I had to take a standardized test, wiat a week, take a phone interview, wait two weeks, get a face-to-face interview, wait another week, and finally get an offer, and then wait 4 days to go in to meet with a guy for the formalized offer. And now that I accepted the formalized offer, I need to wait a month to start.

Oh ****... I keep getting off-point. Back to the phone interview part. It was with an out-sourced hiring group out of Ohio. They weren't a part of Dow at all. They guy who interviewed me, sounded so extremely disinterested in what I had to say. He didn't even wanna list all of my prior job experience and qualifications, because the way the "computer system" was set up for him. I remained calm, and didn't ge5t too pissy with him, because this guy could shut the door on me getting a face-to-face interview. Well, I thought it went so bad, because of his disinterest, that i wasn't even expecting a call-back.

It seemed like this out-sourced company had agents running phone interviews all day, and it was like I was just another person in line of about a million interviews that person had to do all day. I must've caught him on a bad day, or he just doesn't give a ****. But I thought I was screwed, but I thought at least I was polite. So maybe I made more of an impression that I thought, or maybe as long as I didn't sound "retarded" they gimme the face-to-face. I'm not sure which reason got me to the next step.

The long and the short of is, no matter how bad you think it went, you never really know... So I hope you think it went well, and good luck with the process all together. Have a good weekend

well the good thing is it's just a transfer back to a better position in my old department, so if i don't get it i will still have a job donig what i'm doing now, even if i hate it.

but i'll get it. it went perfectly.

Glad to that,Brian! But don't stop looking for something you REALLY want!

Did you hear anything yet?

Nah it's Comcast :)

The amount of time from when I applied for my first position here to when I got the interview was about a month. From the interview to actually hearing anything was about another two months, from that to starting was about another month.

So I applied about four weeks ago, and just interviewed yesterday. I should hear something in the next two to three weeks and then head out there if I get it another couple weeks after that.

Such a long process around here!

Thought I'd resurrect this dandy for a moment.

Pez just called. I got the job.

Attaboy!

Congrats. I'm sure you'll do well.

Congrats!!!

Congrats, B-Dub! :cool:

Brian,

Did you get the real job or the pezz joke company? Good luck with the new job, if and when you get it!

SC

Congrats,Brian!

lol, I got the real job I applied for way back then and interviewed for about eight weeks ago. I'm trying to channel Morty every chance I get now. So, still with Comcast, just back in Chicago in a better department.

And thanks everyone. I'm really excited about the whole thing!

Congrats, Brian.

way to go brian!

back in chicago eh....we're heading up there in july, maybe we'll meet up at arlington?

Now that I'll have a real job with real weekends, so long as you'll be in town on a weekend -- I wouldn't miss it for anything!

er.....

we'll be up on monday, leaving on thursday i think. have a campout the wknd before, and then have to be home the wknd after....

Not sure when they start Arlington racing on Wednesdays, so hopefully you'll get a day to check out the track.

With that said, no problem, I'll be off work at 7 those nights -- so we'll certainly get a chance to get together. Where are you going to be staying? Do you know the exact dates yet?
