Default Wish me luck..... I got the 2nd interview
This time it's in person, too, which is what I prefer over recorded video interviews which my college does first to save time.

I'm actually very excited and feel confident I have a great chance at getting the spot because of my experience, time with the college, 20+ years in the IT field, project management, customer service, and veteran status.

the job is a mix between what I do now as a lead tech (tech support) for the campus and entry level back into the networking side of things and I have A LOT of experience in both.

Fingers crossed.....

I tie my hair back at work anyway when I'm not wearing a hat. It's very causal here, but I will be in suit and tie for the interview.

Holy crap, am I old.
Calculators wouldn't be invented for another 20 years when I was in school.
Back in the early eighties, I used to program computers with punch cards.

Oh well.
Good luck DJ.

Actually, people here tend to be fairly conservative with a certain minority and faculty being the exception. Even the college president is from Chicago and is comes across as very conservative (especially fiscally) compared to any past presidents and most of the executive leadership team.

Good Luck DJ. Youngest son is interviewing for a financial analyst position with a place on the other side of the country, he just moved on to the next level after 7 interviews, 7!!!! CEO is flying him out for hopefully the last one.

My last interview was 30 plus years ago involving beers and an appetizer at Applebees, CEO had me over to his house the weekend after and that was that. Different times indeed.

My friend had friend-of-Jesus long hair, and everyone told him he needed to get a haircut before interviewing. He didn't, and they didn't hire him, so he lost the job. A few years later, the company that sold the line he worked for, hired him as a control room operator, as they had moved their control center to his town and he knew all the people involved.



Hey DJ, good luck on the interview. You got this!

Don't knock it the clicking of abacus beads has a nice calming effect.
