So I have a third interview with the awesome potential job Monday. But I am nervous. It’s going to be a panel interview. More casual than a panel, but I will be meeting the operations team and discussing technical scenarios and answering questions from the team members. A small part of me feels a bit inadequate to be answering questions from experts in the field when I haven’t been able to become the expert in any particular field that I want to become. But I am looking forward to the challenge. I had to take a 30 minute test during my second interview, and I thought I was in big trouble, but the questions were relatively simple. I mean, I don’t know that I got the sub netting question right because it’s been five years or more since I had to calculate subnet addressing, but I did my best and I think it was pretty good.

I guess it must’ve been good because they want me back again. And at this point, even if I doubt myself here and there, I’ve obviously got something they want and in the past I’ve proven myself over and over again to other eomployers and clients that I can do the jobs that are assigned to me. So here’s hoping to the best on Monday. I am confident that I will work well with them (They’re probably a bunch of techy/geeky people like myself anyway) and hopefully I will be able to get the job and move forward in my career and life finally.

Here’s hoping.

My first interview in a few years. But I think it’ll go well. I’ll do what I do, and we’ll go from there. A friend put in a good word for me actually, so maybe that will help. And I have a nice big list of references that will be sure to impress. Between all of that, my experience, and hopefully my charming personality (hahaha) I can win them over and get the job.

I’m feeling anxious and nervous and excited. I hope it doesn’t show too much. Well, the excited part can show because I am excited about the opportunity, and that should be apparent. I’ll try not to jump for joy though. That might be interpreted as insane rather than excited.

Whatever the case, I’m off to see the Wizard!

I have an interview Tuesday June 8th! This is kind of exciting and nerve wracking. I haven’t been to an interview in years. But I’m sure it will go well. If I can handle the last clients I had and all their craziness, I am sure an interview will be a piece of cake in comparison. Just gotta sell myself to them and they will want me!

That shouldn’t be too difficult since this job seems to be suited well to my skills. I am excited to bring my skills to this new job, and learn a crap ton of new stuff. It’ll be nice to learn skills that are transferable unlike my last job. I mean, Project Management is definitely transferable but the rest of the work is antiquated and useless and will never be used. That’s kind of sad. Moving ahead with this job would mean that even if the software or platform they use for their projects goes out of style, the Systems Administration skills I will learn will be forefront to getting me into a better place after the fact.

I hope it goes well. I also desperately need a job.

Well, that discussion went well. I told her about my experience, and what I can do, and what I want to do. She then told me about the company, the lifestyle, and the job. I asked more questions, we had a good dialog and she is going to schedule me for a second interview Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Maybe in a couple of weeks I will be a Junior Systems Administrator. It sounds like a pretty sweet job. And it’s exciting and I can’t wait to talk to them again.

I hope something comes out of it. I need a job BADLY!

So, I’m waiting for a telephone interview to discuss my resume. I applied for this junior position as a system administrator, and I think IO have almost all the skills listed, plus some that weren’t. It makes me nervous to apply for another job with a company after my last station. I don’t want a crazy mental work schedule again. I want to enjoy my work and my life just a little more.

But then, I suppose I’ll take a crazy work schedule just to make a bit of money at this point hehe. I guess we’ll see.

*waits ever so impatiently for 2pm*   I hope it goes well.
