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."

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.

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!

Reply #18 - Jul 25^th, 2006 at 3:39pm Thank you so much for your prayers! The interview went quite well.

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!

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!
