Interview this morning
I think it went pretty well. The job is Technical Sales with Parker Hannifin, up in Cleveland. After talking with the guys, it sounds a lot more interesting that I thought it would be. It is sales, but there is a whole mess of tech kind of things to get into, and there really is a lot of engineering and problem solving that has to go into the job. It sounds like it could be pretty good. I think they liked me anyway.
It was a good interview. It wasn't the standard list of questions on a sheet that the recruiter has in front of them. There were two of them, and they asked me good questions about stuff on my resume, and I think I asked some pretty good questions about the position and the company in general. It was really more of a conversation between the three of us. I really like this kind of interview more than the straight up list of questions. Also, they didn't bring up GPA. That was really nice. I should hear back from them in a week or so. And while they asked if I were able to start in January, I think they are looking for somewhat later in the year. I did tell them I could start in January if needed, though. I wouldn't mind, but I have no idea what I would do to manage moving to Ohio in January.
Downside to everything? I got a fucking parking ticket. Way to go FSU cops; you all can die in a fire. Hate having to go onto campus, as the parking is terrible. There really isn't anywhere for me to park. However, since the interview cost me $20, maybe I will also get a job from it.
Need to send a thank you note tomorrow, once I get it written up.
