i have a job interview in a few hours... wooo/ahhhh!
half of me is excited, the other half wants to go jump out the window :dead:
It is with Bain & Company in Boston, not as a consultant though, doing internal IT stuff.
I think i am all prepared, been reading books, studying the company, etc etc for the last week.
Well anyways, i am off soon to go meet with a tech recruiter to prep me for the interview. Wish me luck! No voodoo curses or anything, unless it is on the other applicants. :cheers:
Good luck with the interview! Just tell them you're a HUGE Patriots and BoSox fan. That should guarantee you a job with any Bahston firm :)
Good luck Kacarp :kawaii:

Good luck.
Remember a positive first impression goes a long way and handshakes are old news. I love it when a prospective hire comes in and we bump fists and they let out a big, "Wasssssup!"
Just a suggestion. :wavey2:

thanks Nija and and faither lol. the person i interviewed with was named bonnie. So i went in, we bumped fists and they i let out a big, "Wasssssup Bon Bon!"
heh.
Actually it went quite well i think. I met with the HR person, and then the Help Desk Manager, and then the Developers Manager. So i take it as a good sign they wanted me to meet those people. Now i just have to wait... well and send them a thank you note.
Thank you note or thank you email?
thanks for all the Goodluck everyone.
of course today, the one day i wear a suit, it was like 95 degrees out... boo, going to be 66 tomorrow, wtf.

Good luck on landing the job. I'm sure that Waffle House could use a man with your impressive full set of teeth....I mean your impressive credentials.
Did you remember to circle "4" under "last grade completed" on the application? That's a must.

any news on yours?
yeah...it came down to one other person and me, and one other person got it.
i really thought i had it too. 3 interviews totalling 4 hours, several emails, and they called 5 references (all which gave me good references)
back to the drawing board, thanks for asking. :)
