I have been lucky, I have had 3 jobs in my entire life and always got them on the first interview (I have had 4 interviews but didnt take the 4th position because I moved).

This and one other.

Both offered me a position and had a bit of a wage war, which was nice.

I ended up going with this one for the longer term perks versus the other one that had a bit higher up front pay.

No regrets either.

2 phone, 1 plant with the plant manager, 1 plant with 2 directors, plant manager, and purchasing

No bad experiences.

Probably like +30, right out of school never really had any direction or idea of what I wanted to do. Didn't help that I wouldn't really research the company I would be talking with, had no intern experience and was graduating late. GPA wasn't stellar either, like ~3.1 in accounting. I just hit apply and sent my resume to everything related in my school's career website.

lol...they did that to me too....


question 1.....

Make a high pass filter using an opamp

---got this one right

question 2....

make a high pass filter using a bjt

---got this one wrong

question 3

bias this transistor and explain what the caps do

---got this right

question 4

some digital logic question

---one guy said i got it wrong it wrong, the other said I got it right

question 5

Another logic question

---again arguing ensues with in group. One guy says question is not clear enough, othe rguy says question should be clear to me.

That wa sthe test....


now on to resume questions...

"---"= what I was thinking

1. Did you really do all the stuff on your resume?
---ummmm...why would I lie?

2. Did you really?
---yes.

3. Then why are you still unemployed? Why doesn't bose want you back?
---If i knew the answer to that, would I still be looking for a job?

4. So, you really did do all the stuff on your resume?
--- WTF! call me liar now and get it done with. geesh. It's obvious you do not want to belive me.

5. This patent on your resume....did you actually do work on it or did you have someone else do the work and you took credit?
--- I am gonna sh!t a block and piss on your car!

6. Show me how the patent works...
---OK, let me prove it to you.

7. Wow, you really designed that? Tell me the truth...did you really help in designing that?
---WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This went on for 20 more minutes.

I got called for a 2nd round of interviews, but they guy pissed me off so much that I basically gave him the cold shoulder.

0. Had a 10 min phone interview and got the job. Somehow, every job I've ever gotten, I've been given an offer after my first interview and never really had to look around or apply to other jobs.

 

[sdifox]

I was approached. Had 2 interviews, one with director, another with the other head honchos.

1 to get my current job, i've probably been on 7 interviews my entire life.

 

[TallBill]

1, they said I was overqualified, and I am. But its a part time internship so it works for me.

 

[RichardE]

One, it has always been one, I'm very good at interviews.

 

[JakwoW]

It took me 3 interviews because I was going for positions I wasn't fully qualified for.

On my way to one said interview, Irealized my zipper was down as I was walking into the building so I ducked into the bathroom real quick. As I was pretending to wash my hands, a dude came in and had a weird look on his face. We exchanged glances and he entered the stall. Seconds later he was fully engaged in an assorchestra.

I walked into the interview but had to wait. After a few minutes in walked the pooping guy. I started laughing and made probably the worst first impression ever. He was pretty embarrased. I didn't get that job.

1 for this job.

While working here I had one bad interview for a different position (probably 6 months ago). Did not work well at all with guy doing interview, and he had no idea what he wanted to ask.

Just had an interview on Monday that went well and not heard anything back yet, hopefully I get the new job.
