Re: Got a job offer, start Tuesday
[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Nice, congrats! What was your take on the interviews that you went on at the end to get the one and possibly second offer? My guess would be that they didn't seem much different from your perspective, it's just that you clicked with those teams. (This all leads to me thinking that at some point in an computer person's career, interview success has nothing to do with the candidate.) Very happy to hear it, pal! ICJ[/quote] Thanks! Well the phone interview was a little less structured than usual and the interviewer (now my boss) was clearly already a fan of my resume. All I had to do was confirm I knew the things I claimed to know. Later I discovered that another reason he liked me is because I have almost zero social media presence. IT! Thank god an industry for crazy people was invented so I can live comfortably. Thanks Alan Turing! *checks gratitude aim* Bill Body Odor Gates! Or whoever? The aerospace guys also already liked me and my ability to laugh at gay military jokes. In person, I own two neat colorful shirts ($50) and matching awesome ties ($60 ... don't ask me why they cost more) and I don't smell like a wild animal. More critically, I've learned to shut the fuck up between questions and to construct sentences IN REAL TIME!!!! that have a beginning, middle,and end and that sometimes relate to what was asked. Skillz, yo.[/quote]
