    Smile Interview Pixie Dust Needed!

    Hi all,

    After over 8 months of unemployment, I have a good shot at landing an engineering job at the University of Michigan tomorrow. All I've got to do is impress the department head at the interview tomorrow at 2. Could you spare a little dust for me? Thanks, and I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Go Brad! It's your birthday! Go Brad! It's your birthday!

    I know it's not really your birthday, but that's my favorite cheer. If your potential new employers need the reference of someone you met in line while staying at the Pop Century, just let me know!

    Smile Update!

    Thanks for all your support guys! The interview went phenomenally well! The department head & I hit it off really well, and I spent almost 3 hours discussing my background & experience, touring the lab facilities, and meeting the rest of his staff.

    Being it's at U of M, and their primary focus is on research alone, they're pretty clueless about how to actually bring a product to production status. That's where I come in.

    Since it's an academic slot, the pay wouldn't be as good as the "real world", but the perks & contact possibilities make up for that. Plus, living here in Michigan where the unemployment rate is 15%, beggars can't be choosers.

    Once they do the background check, etc. I should know. Hopefully next week!

    Oh no! When they do the background check they're going to find out that you're a Disney addict! I hope they hire you anyway!

    So glad the interview went well. Academia does have its perks, and the U of M is a great place. I love Ann Arbor. Best wishes and lots of pixie dust headed your way.
