My interview lasted 52 minutes, 7 seconds over the phone. I believe I made a good impression. I was the first pigeon (their words, not mine) out of the trap. *grin*
Whether it was good enough for a job offer, we will have to see. I spent about 3 hours prepping for it and I was prepared. It helps when you have a crib sheet in front of you when you do answer their questions. They still have other folks they have to interview, so here is hoping.
My game plan right now is to in the words of Ieyasu Tokugawa: "Tighten the cords of my helmet". Keep the momentum going, keep sending out at least 1 resume a day from here on end, so figure 5 resumes a week. Approach each interview like it's a tournament wargame and prep for it. Victory will be achieved by this metric: Job offer accepted: 1 More job offers the better though.
On that note I received an email from a VA in Wisconsin, arranging for an interview! So I got the local one here on Monday, then possibly this one this week. I am getting there!
So for this week:
Applications sent to date: 143
Applications passed HR screening
1-IH Position @ Navy
1- Enviromental Protection slot @Army
1- IH slot @ CDC
2 -TCF slots @ VA1 job application @ Los Angeles County
3 (or 4 depending on how you look at it) FCIP slots @ EPA
4 positions @ OSHA
Interview done: 1
Interviews pending: 2
