Scooter Chronicles

Yes, you read that correctly. I have a phone interview today with a company that is south of Pittsburgh. Obviously I am hoping that it leads to a face-to-face interview.

The company seems to be set up much like my previous places of employment as of late. The responsibilities in the job posting are exactly what I have been required to take care of in this past positions. And the kind of equipment they design I have a little bit of experience and knowledge of, but feel that I could catch on very quickly as I always have when switching industries.

I believe I had sent a resume to this company late last week, but the person in HR that contacted me said they found my resume on the same site. I don’t know if my application passed their email in transit or what happened. But it was nice to be contacted they way I was. After setting up the interview they asked to see a file of my resume and letters of recommendation. That last part got me. I have never asked for one, though others have offered to write them for me. Every time these offers have been made though, I had already found new employment and felt it would be a waste to get one at that time. I won’t let that happen again. As it was, I went back and contacted my references and asked them, if possible on short notice, if they could supply them to me, and of the five I asked, four of them were able to help. Hopefully these will help make the point of my skills and experience.

Now I just need to do well with the interview.
