Interview update
We managed to get home safely, and I got cleaned up and to the interview
on time. I need to clean out my ears. Every time I called the place to work out the interview schedule I thought they were calling the place "Abbott". When I got there I saw that they are Avid - THE microchip folks, the ones who basically invented the technology 20 years ago. I was very surprised to learn that the worldwide headquarters (they also have plants in England and Spain) is right there in Norco, CA - horse country. I felt that the interview went very well. They are primarily a Linux house (Linux is my favorite OS), and the software manager is almost as anti-Microsoft as I am. He's about my age and has much of the same background, and weemed pleased with my eclectic background. They will be reviewing resumes and interview notes this week and at the end of the week they will invite some people back for a second round of interviews. I sincerely to be one of those invited back. It just so happens that I have a standing home time request for the week of May 9, so I would be home and available for interviews early that week. I made sure to mention to the interviewers that I believed I could make immediate contributions to their DP needs, and that I would be very interested in working for a company in their field. Now I just need to ask for purrs to get included in the 2nd round of interviews, and to do well in that 2nd round! This is getting exciting. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would make me feel as fulfilled as helping to reunite lost pets with their loving humans. |
