Another Step Closer to the Real World October 26, 2006 11:48:26 PM
I had my first real interview the other day with a big company. I guess those busines fairs aren't quite as worthless as I had previously said, but still mostly worthless. The fair was about a month ago, but I was called back by Lutron for an on-campus interview. Lutron is a fortune 500 comp that designs, manufactures, and impliments automated and computer controlled lighting and environmental systems in both the home and in comercial skyscrapers.
So yeah, it went pretty well, the guy interviewing seemed pleased with just about all of my answers. And my goodness, I couldnt believe how many technical quesitons I got. Like just before me, some one I knew interviewed with them, and on his way out, he told me all the questions he was asked, and he only got 3! I got like 10! WTF! Well regardless, I was able to answer all of them, and i was pretty confident with my answers. I even told him about all my home automation projects and stuff and he was quite impressed, he said that sort of dilligence is right up Lutrons alley.
So even though the interview went so well, i still feel like my gpa will hold me back. thats such bull shit! companies should not determine peoples corporate worth based on a stupid number. It should be about thier desire to learn, their persistance on projects, and most importantly, their passion for the field. So I guess now all i can do is wait. If i get the position, it will start as high as 61K a year and id be relocated to Cooperstown PA. So I guess the pay is good, but it would mean long work hours, id be even farther from my khiney, and worst of all, id only be 1.25 hours from my parents :-/ ....ugh
