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
-Pete

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.
