(no subject)
Soooooo......
The interview was today instead of yesterday. *shrug* Though I wouldn't have called it an interview, really. And not because it didn't go well, but quite the opposite. Instead of being asked a multitude of questions, the gentleman instead described to me what the company does, where they do it, and just tried to give a general description of the position I'd be going into. He did make it a point to make sure I know that the position isn't really a ChE position, but moreso a CivE position. Meaning that it's not really reactors and chemical plants, though on the occassion where a chemical process is involved, I may end up supervising that project. Oh, by mostly CivE work, he described that about 70-ish percent of the work involved is replacing water mains and the such. There's travel involved, but mostly in NJ, and mostly day trips. For example, he was up in Sussex county doing work yesterday at a new housing development checking water and sewage connections for future houses (which is why the interview was moved until today).
So I was asked to call back and say whether I'm interested in the position or not by the end of the week. No, I wasn't offered the position. I guess I'll cross my fingers, call back tomorrow saying "yes" and hope they get back to me (very positively) soon. :-)
Oh, and despite the fact the interview wasn't much of an interview, I was there for more than an hour-and-a-half, and was given a tour of the building, pump server, and pumping facility behind the building. Interesting stuff.
