Earlier this week, I was able to make my way over to Atlanta to check out the milk bottle making business. I was impressed with what I saw. I don't think I'll be able to look at a gallon of cow juice the same again.
Most of my time was spent with my future boss should everything go right. I also spent some time with the other engineering managers just talking. Not to much official interview banter. Just open conversation. I'm starting to think behavioral questions are like field sobriety tests - totally unnecessary.
My host had a lot of good information to offer. It seems that they have been talking about me a lot. He even had a 90 day outline of what I would be doing should I get on. Hells yeah!!
I expected to hear something from the corporate recruiting department in "7 to 10 days". However, they called me this morning! I was gone less than 24 hrs! I talked with the rep and she asked how my interview went and things like that. That's when she told me that they wanted to "move forward" with me. How much more forward can I go?!
It turns out they want some references and wanted to get my side of the story of how much I expect to earn.
The most interesting thing about my conversations with corporate recruiting and my host was they both probed me for info about other companies I was currently looking at. With the Navy being the only other one on the list, I divulged a little info. I couldn't really scoot around this topic since I met the VP on the plane ride back from a sub (:
I just told them things I like about the Navy, and things I like about the available position. In my opinion, the main drawback of the Navy is not knowing where I'll be living. I want to stay in the southeast. No snow and close to college football that matters.
Now it's time to wait and see if she calls me back with more good news/hoops to jump through!
