Just got out of an interview...

[srcnix]

Hey all,

Just got out of an interview for a new web development role very local to me. To start, the interview went well. Talked to the media director and he was brilliant. Offered me a drink (Water please!) and sat me down and discussed my skills and the position.

All I can say is, even if I don't get the job, the experience was brilliant. Steve, the media director is a top guy and the company itself is outstanding.

I will find out Friday whether I impressed them enough to get the job, with a 3 month probation period if I did.

Fingers crossed as this company is a company I'd really like to work for.

[bushy]

hope all goes well for you mate.

I don't think he'll be reading this.

[srcnix]

I don't think he'll be reading this.

I wouldn't expect him to read it. Compared to the company I work at now, it's greatly structured and well managed.

Steve is clearly a good interviewer then if you feel that positively about how the interview went - so he got best out you hopefully, allowed you to shine.

hope it goes well man

[Cal]

[seat-craig]

I'm not sure if a designer alone could get £60,000.00/year, not just for graphics and basic HTML. What other skills have you got? Any skills in XHTML, CSS 1/2 (Both to W3C standards), JavaScript, AJAX, PHP, MySQL, Ruby, RoR?

Although it depends who you know! Im more of an all round designer than a specialist web designer. Im not really a code monkey. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, ImageReady, Dreamweaver, CSS. I work in the web team of an oil and gas research company so I basically handle corporate literature - cd labels, brochures etc and website visuals etc while the web team handle the coding aspect.

Yeah, I got that mate ;-) When I was in the interview this morning Steve the interviewer showed me a car mag with the R8 on it. It's lush, love the headlights.

Got any work you can show me, in terms of design work?

All my web work is internal only and accessible by client's/ourselves only.

Here's a label set (scaled) I made for our Unconventional Hydrocarbons project;
Its about as exciting as my work gets here as we have pretty strict corporate visual guidelines.

I like the colours mate. Some good work there. I'd show you some work I've done (programming) such as a series of relating auto suggest fields but I don't think my boss would be too impressed just now as we haven't officially launched it.

[Cal]

Lol cheers, yeah half of our stuff is v.confidential too. We hold info for all the major oil compaines etc ie; Shell, BP, Total etc. Im taking the place down from the inside. Shhhhh!

Thanks mate. Find out on Friday but in Amsterdam. The good news is, if I get the job I will be pretty mashed already and will celebrate. If I don't, I will be too stoned to care ;)

[Cal]

You didn't wear you beanie to the interview did you? Or a suit that stinks of hash? :P

[srcnix]

HAHAHA! Nah, I got my hair cut, even had a shave.

Also, I didn't even have a ciggy before the interview so I didn't smell of smoke, let-a-known hash. Plus, unless in Amsterdam (So I've heard for Dam) hash is crap man.

[srcnix]

Just in:

Got an email from the guy that set the interview up for me. He said Steve was impressed with me.

That is all.

OUT!

[Cal]

Don't get carried away Screwie, Ive had interview's saying they were really impressed with me. Then got a message saying they took someone cheaper lol. If its good news though awesome pal!

Yeah, trying not to get my hopes up. It's not like if I don't get the job I've got no work, as I'm still working at my current job.

[blythy]

i feel like i know Steve already.

nah good luck man, sounds like a good opportunity

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

Well done Steve!

or am I missing the point

don't read into it too much man... they could be softening you up for a let down. Don't believe anything until you have a letter in your hand offering the job with a contract.

[srcnix]

;)

It's a fantastic oportunity, salary wise and working with what seems to be a fantastic company and a well rounded set of developers.

I was talking to Steve in the interview and they don't agree with "junior developer", "developer" and "senior developer". They call them "light weight", "medium weight" and "heavy weight". I hope he realises I have a problem with my weight before he assigns me something like "heavy weight" which I'm not, I would be "medium weight".

Noted. :)

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

i had my second interview the other day for a junior quantity surveying job, managed to turn up 15 mins late, but still got the job! chuffed to bits tbh, so hopefully you should be alright mate! as long as you were yourself, or managed to blag that you are a good person.

WTF? Managed to blag I was a good person. So I'm not a good person and had to blag I was? ;)

I think I know what you mean though and yes, I was myself.

[saxodan]

[srcnix]

Very good if you're good at what you're doing. Considering this job gives me 166% of my current wage. ;)

And thanks :)

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

lol yeh nothing personal, just manage to hide how fucked you probably get in the weekends (or i do)

[srcnix]

lol, yeah. Not to mention I will be in Amsterdam when I hear whether I've got the job or not on Friday ;) Hopefully they don't ask where I am ;)

[Yates]

im hoping you dont get the job, just because your hopes are really high and i would find it amusing...

[srcnix]

Your thoughts do not bother me. Now run along.

[Yates]

run along what?

[srcnix]

run along what?

Do I really need to explain that phrase to you? If you've got nothing else to do other than piss on someones potential happiness then I suggest you don't comment.

Saying that, maybe you're jealous that someone could possibly be doing better than you? Ah well, leave it out please.

[Cal]

Been really really tempted to make a 'Steve' Sax-p account and post informing Screwie that he has not got the job due to new found information regarding Screw's social 'hobbies' and the fact that his suit smelt of hash ;)

[joemcevoy]

Sounds great for you mate. I just sent my application form out for a gap year working for the civil service as a IT Technician with the possibilty of doing networking, programing and web development. Im also going to be applying for BT as a networking Technician so i can not wait.

no you dont need to explain i was just being annoyin.

Better than me (where as i dont think im better than anyone, im happy with my job and everything that ive done, im happy with everything in my life there for no one could do my life better than me) but i do believe you have had an interview and thats it? so technically having a job interview isnt better than me
