I got a rejection email for a job that I didn't want, that someone I used to work with told me about.
I've never been to a place that was so cocky about their phone system and network. I actually do the exact same thing that they want to do, except I get to work on a network that is huge compared to theirs. I got to the end of the interview and they said something about how they were going to interview a few other candidates, I told them good luck with that. My company has had several job openings this past year, and no one with VOIP experience ever applies. I left the interview thinking that they did a crappy job at selling me on the idea of coming to work for them.
At the end of the interview they said something about "Describe yourself in two words", I said, "I'm boring". I told a co-worker about the question, they said I should have said "Irish Goodbye" and hung up. Looking back that would have been pretty awesome. Ironically I have that listed as a skill on my Linkedin account.
haha nice.
I interviewed for a job I didn't want, because a friend is the hiring manager and needed more resumes submitted so they could close the search and do interviews
a security/unix admin job, not my wheelhouse at all, not my interest area either.
oh man.
worst interview I have ever given.
it was painful. When my friend dropped in to 'give me the bad news' all I could do was laugh
sadly, I hope to have a interview with the same place for another position in a month, I hope I don't have the same HR person on it D:
oh yeah, I am not technically a network engineer anymore
data center manager. for now. I took the move(at the same place) because it seems like a good move, more responsibility, a lot to add to the resume, and I really find the facility aspects of it fascinating.
but I miss routing packets sometimes....
