Popular Post groupw Posted October 8, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted October 8, 2021 I submitted my resume' to a company based in the PHX area. Requested a work from home position that could possibly be a work in office position once we move there. They replied in 24 hours with a possible position and online application form. I replied the next day. Got an interview request in 24 hours. We found a time that would work for all of us. Could be a decent raise if accepted that might accelerate our timetable to move. We'll see how everything goes on Tuesday... 6 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a phone interview. Eldest daughter works for this company. She likes it there. She is working in a different area than I applied, but she has been coaching me on the types of questions the company likes to use across the board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted October 8, 2021 So many larger companies really drag their feet on OS upgrades. My former corporate employer just finished the rollout of Windows 7 when the rest of the world was getting Windows 10. They had to make sure in-house developed software worked before they rolled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then dealing with wide range of internal users and their upgrade result problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted October 8, 2021 Share #13 Posted October 8, 2021 Remember to interview the company back. Ask them a few questions about the company to make them know that you are interested in it. Nice "softball" questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting to see how people would answer some of our questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It required more in office than was originally planned but that’s just as well because automation is phasing out much of the old position. I have been compensated enough to pay for the extra gas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
