Alright, it’s not actually going that bad, but I really hate the process. I’ve had my resume out there for a month, and I have three companies that are interested. I have an interview tomorrow for an electrical engineering position. That’s not the job I applied for, but they think I’m a much better fit for this position. I’m not entirly sure how, since I’m a mechanical/manufacturing engineer, and understand very little electrical. Reading the job description, it seems to be a manufacturing position that requires great understanding of electrical components. So one of the questions I’ll ask them is why am I being considered when this job leans so heavily to the electrical side.
Tomorrow afternoon I have a phone interview for a position that’s pretty much identical to the job I had in Tucson. This is the second go-round with this position, they had it open several months ago, but closed it with out hiring anyone, becuase the company had a big contract pushed out, and went into a hiring freeze. This time the hiring manager called me to see if I was interested before he even called HR to open the rec. So I guess that means they’re very interested.
Next week I have an interview for a job that sounds very much like a management position in the manufacturing area. Again they seem to be very interested, and I can’t quite figure out why. Oh well, I guess I’ll ask them when I interview.
So I spent all day prepping for my interview tomorrow morning. I think I’m pretty prepared. Wish me luck!
