I got the date wrong, oh no!
How could I have missed the 10 year anniversary of the Moon getting blasted out of Earth orbit?!?!
I thought it was the 15th, but it was the 13th. I’m sure it was the wacky gravity from it that messed me up. That’s it. I’m sure.
I had my phone interview today.
I’m not sure how it went.
I’m told they have many, many folks who applied for the job and the phone interviews are only to decide who to actually bring in for an in person one.
So, when the guy says “OK, we’re going to stop there” when I’m answering his question on how I’d rate my talents, I don’t know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
It could be “I’ve heard enough to meet him in person” or “I’ve heard enough to know he’s not for us”.
Sadly, I get the feel it might be more of #2.
They’re a very high end consulting company. The guy I talked to has a PhD in mechanical engineering, an MBA and a degree in English Literature. That’s not the most common combination out there.
I can’t say he sounded impressed at my 6 years of designing furniture.
I did try and play up the analysis and calculations needed for what I did. And, it is much more than most people give credit. After all, if a shelf needed to hold 300 pounds, the CEO didn’t want to pay for the steel to hold 301. He wanted every penny of material out of it and still meet the requirements. And, that was a lot of analysis.
But, cubicles aren’t sexy.
So, I’m not sure how it went over.
If I hear back from them next week, I’ll know.
