Interview
I got a call a couple days ago from Donna, the deputy JPM NBC CA (Joint Program Manager for Nuclear Biological Chemical Contamination Avoidance) asking me if I was available for an interview. The interview is scheduled for today at 2:45. For the first time ever, I came to work in a suit and a tie.
I've been eligible to receive a promotion since October 20, 2007. I've been submitting my resume for fifteen different promotion openings here at Edgewood. Three of the submissions said my resume was forwarded to the selection committee. The rest were rejected for not meeting the job requirements. Of those three, this interview is for the first one. Hopefully that means that if I don't get this job, there will be at least two more interviews to follow. But it would be nice to only have to go through this process once. I know some people who have gone through tons of interviews and have never gotten the promotion. In fact, I know the guy who is being interviewed right after me has done this many times. I shouldn't even know who else is being interviewed, but when Donna was sending out the confirmation emails with our interview time slot, she sent his out right after mine, and forgot to change the name. So he promptly called me up and asked what I knew about the job opening.
I don't know too much about the job other than it is for a program called J2 Recon. The guy who is in charge of the program is my John, old boss who originally interviewed me when I first graduated from college. But that wasn't a real interview and was more just a chance for them to tell me about what they did and to ask me when I wanted to start.
Anyway, I should probably start reviewing the list of 50 interview questions that John gave me a couple weeks ago.
