Hey guys!  I've got a job interview later today and I'd really like to nail this one.  If it's not too much trouble, say a quick prayer for me!

(...will pass along more details later.)

You got it bob-o!

X

for sure.

Thanks a lot, guys!  The job interview went really well, and I really, really want the position!  The IT director still has one more person to interview, so please keep praying that I'll get this job.

If I get it, I promise I'll take you all out for dinner!

HaZaaaaaa!!

no applebees for cait. :-(

You'll get it b0b, no worries.

"...and I'd really like to nail this one."

haha

sorry, been a long day

good luck

likewise, pray for ron...he has an interview with mercedes-benz coming up very soon

what kind of job is it?

marie

It's a network engineering role for a manufacturing company that recently moved into the area.  I would be responsible for managing the network hardware, software, and telecommunications for the company as a whole.  Since I'd be the only IT guy at the location I'm interviewing at, I would also handle the day-to-day IT support functions for that location.

I'm really excited about the position.  I've had a lot of interviews at a lot of different types of companies (banks, insurance companies, hospitals, an electrical distributor, etc) but this is the only position I've really, really wanted.

The guy I interviewed with would be my boss, and we really hit it off.  I'd give nearly anything to have a job with a boss I really got along with.  After all, "If you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life."

-b0b
(...needs prayer!)

Oh, come on...you know you miss Vicky!

I'll be finishing my BS in Computer Science after this coming school year and I am going to attempt to reserve a position with google in Ann Arbor, hopefully in their Software Engineering department.  That would be my dream job....

Bob, do you mind me asking what company? If no, what company is it?  If yes, go hump a goat.

I think hes going to hump a goat either way, now that you suggested it.

Ya google coming here is gonna create 1000 jobs i believe. But im sure they are gonna want the creme de la creme.

so start eliminating the competition, starting with goat humper over there.

I got a call yesterday for a second interview with the CFO of the company, which I think is a pretty good sign.  You'll have to forgive me if I withhold the name of the company for now, but if I get an offer, I'll be more forthcoming.

Don't worry about Google.  I'm not nearly liberal enough to make the cut with them, nor do I have the ridiculous qualifications they generally look for.  Don't bother applying with Google if you've got anything less than a graduate-level degree.

-b0b
(...does not hump goats.)

Congratulations!

Prayer is cool like that.  ;)

I was thinking of pursuing a masters   :o

My second interview is today at 2:00pm.  I'm interviewing with a guy named John.  Please pray that I'll be on top of my game and he'll extend an offer.

As a sidenote, I had an interview yesterday in Grand Rapids and I have another tomorrow in Holland.  In short, if I don't get an offer from this company, I'll almost undoubtedly have to move to take a job in the Grand Rapids area.  Please pray for me!

-b0b
(...really, really wants this one!)

Out of curiosity, did anyone else notice this thread has over 3600 views?  It's only five days old and only has 15 replies, yet it has nearly as many views as the "Picture and Video Thread", which is nearly a year old and has 585 replies.

-b0b
(...thinks someone must be praying for him.)

Well either the heavenly hosts are using the internet now or it's a bit off...either way you've got prayers coming.

Thank you so much for your prayers!  The interview went quite well.  At this point, I just have to wait for the "next step," whether that's another interview or something else entirely.  Thanks again!

-b0b
(...is excited!)

Today is the big day!  The IT director (Rick) and president (Howard) of the company will be making their decision today.  I should know by the end of the day whether or not I've made the cut.  Please, please, please take a moment to say a prayer for me!

You guys have my eternal gratitude!

-b0b
(...is on pins and needles!)

So how'd it go?

I didn't get a call today, so... hopefully tomorrow.

-b0b
(...hmms.)

Any calls yet bobby?

Unfortunately, no.  I'm guessing that means Monday's meeting didn't go well.  I'm going to call tomorrow at 2:00pm, so please, keep praying for me.  I'll let you know how the call goes.

-b0b
(...really wants the job.)

I'll be making the call in twenty minutes!  Please pray for me, I really need it!

-b0b
(...fervently!)

its almost three.


spill the beans.

He was in a meeting.  I'll try again at 3:30 until I get through.

-b0b
(...is on edge.)

update!

I second stick

motion passed, update....

Alright, here's the update!

The conversation went quite well, but the meeting never took place on Monday.  It looks like it'll be next Monday or Tuesday before I get a definite answer.  I'm generally pessimistic, but I'm fairly confident I'll have a shot at the position.

Thanks again for your prayers, I greatly appreciate them!

-b0b
(...grins like a cheshire cat.)

I landed the job!  Thanks for your prayers, guys, I really appreciate it!  I'll provide more details once everything is signed and squared away!

-b0b
(...shows that prayer works!)

Awesome bob, congratulations man!! you better fill us in on the juicy details

Nice.

Congradulations, Bob!  Can't wait for the details either!  Is it working for the CIA in the phone companies?
