I've had several interviews and phone interviews. The common theme they say is I have a good personality and it seems I have an unquestionable passion to program, which they all liked. One that was really promising was based out of Oshkosh. That's an hour drive with no traffic and good weather conditions. End time would be 5pm, so figure hitting the road at 5:10pm, factor in winter weather conditions and its conceivable I wouldn't get home to my daughter until 6:30pm or later. I told them I wasn't interested after thinking further about it. Luckily, I'm in a position where I can do that, but in six weeks, I'd have had to take it and find a way to make it work. Plus, it was VB and I really prefer C#. I'm hoping my choice doesn't bite me in the ass.
I've got a second interview Friday at 10am and I'm pretty nervous. This is a company that I would really like to work for. Ironically, they wanted to hire me out of college (one of my instructors works there) but when they called to give me the good news, I was on lunch while working for my previous employer and they wanted to have me learn C# on the job. They offered more money, but I had to turn them down because I felt I had to be loyal to the company who took a chance on me just days prior. Now they want someone with C# experience who also has ASP.NET (this site heh) experience and if they have VB experience it's considered a plus. I'm more than qualified, however, there's a technical interview and I am God awful on the technicalities of programming.
Needless to say, I'll be studying my ass off from now to Friday morning. It's only been three days, but I hate this, I need to be working. I'm not cut out for this unemployed stuff. It's doing absolutely nothing for my ADD or OCD for that matter.
