Good news!

I just received an email (and a followup phone call) from my prospective employer scheduling my in person interviews. I will come into their office Monday afternoon. There are four interviews scheduled with six different people over the course of two hours.

I've already spoken with two of them, each one in one of my phone interviews. I'll do some googling of the other four names to see what I can see, I'll shave, get a new shirt and a shoeshine... print up a few copies of my resume "just in case". I know where the place is (heh, you guys do too, I might have posted a picture here. I'll look for it.) and where to park. I'm really, really excited!

Hi friends. Sorry for being silent on this matter lately. I don't have any news at all. Monday's interviews went very well, I met seven people in four interviews. It was quite favorable, there were two kinds of questions, technical pop quizzes of a sort, what is CAT5, what is a Global Catalog, etc. and interpersonal style questions, how do you handle competing priorities and deadlines, how do you use your presentation skills to convince a group of people about a technical subject, etc.

I believe I met most of the team I'd be working with, including the director of IT, the main decider, in my opinion. He was very friendly. I *think* he wants me (not like that), but I don't know yet. I asked when I'd know, when they'd know and he said he had one more person to interview, that was yesterday. He said they'd have a decision by today or Thursday.

The hours have crept by.

I came home from the interview, had a sandwich and promptly fell asleep for six hours. I was exhausted. I told them I want the job, now it's up to them. I'm stiiiiiiilllll waiting. :)
