Minor update
Jul. 17th, 2002 04:42 pmI got feedback from the interview yesterday
They think I'm smart and all, and would be a valuable addition to the team. They're a bit nervous about whether I'm too technical, and whether I can simplify things and get to the point with non-techies.
I'm not sure if what this really means is that I was verbally footnoting way too much... because I don't consider myself all that tech-oriented. OTOH, this is the second company to give me this particular piece of feedback after an interview, which means I should pay attention to it.
Hm.
Anyway, the good news is, they want me back for Yet Another Interview, this one to be on Wed., 24 July, at 3PM. I've been previously told from an inside source that a second interview pretty much means a final checkoff and hire, so this is a good thing. Probably most of the point is to a) show me to a more senior manager, and b) see if I respond to the feedback.
So, all in all, things look quite promising.
