Had a phone interview with a big oil company today. Spent 30 minutes answering variations on the question "How well do you play with others?", and came out of the interview thinking I presented myself and my experience well, but... I have no idea whether they thought the same. The recruiter made impressed sounds about the experience I had coming

GOOD LUCK. *fingers crossed*

Thanks! I'm glad Hughes approves!

[evil_little_dog]

He does! And so do I!

Hope they take you! (And I'm amused by your icon -- of course they made impressed sounds during the interview, Riza ...)

[lyrangalia]

I hope so too!

*grins at the idea of using that Riza face while interviewing*

Designing and testing mechanisms for reliability in high stress, high vibrational environments. My masters is in MechE, and a lot of the aerospace work I've done deals with surviving launch environments, which aren't actually too different from the drilling environment.
