The Berkeley Adventure

Dec 17, 2005 16:52

On Wednesday you may recall I went on an epic quest into San Francisco to interview for diplomatic security job. I left here at 7:30am via intercampus shuttle to Berkeley. Arriving in Berkeley around 8:40, I had four hours until my interview at 1pm. I set about trying to call anyone I knew in the area ( Read more... )

I'd think that people who got rejected previously would be held in lower esteem, having already been rejected once.

Also, does this mean you shaved off the hawk for nothing?

the girl that had a boyfriend? emosnail December 18 2005, 20:37:58 UTC

are you talking about The Girl That Had a Boyfriend? Ben was saying that she probably thinks the only way she can get a boy to be friends with her is by making him think she's interested.. due to low self esteem.

No, I meant the whole "people applying for this job for the second time" thing. Esteem was probably the wrong word to use there.

Oh, yeah. They like to break down people's self confidence before accepting them.

What is this diplomatic security job you speak of, is it doing security at foreign embassies?

emosnail December 18 2005, 20:34:15 UTC

Sort of, 69.233.26.11, sort of.

Security for the Secretary of State & other high level diplomats, raids for passport and visa fraud, protection of other high-level state department assets in conjunction with the U.S. Marines.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. At least he didn't suffer. Sounds very agressive...
As for the job, good luck next time! And I wouldn't have told the agents you eat hot dogs, if I were you. I bet they found your shuttle ticket odd enough.

shuttle ticket emosnail December 18 2005, 20:35:52 UTC

Intercampus shuttle tickets are actually sparkley, in an apparent effort to discourage counterfeiting. They prolly found the sparkley ticket and were like "wtf? what a weirdo!"

What's the content of the interview process? You can tell me because as the Minister of Love for NorCal, Big Brother has given me security plusclearance.
