Jesse Schibilia

I went to my very first job interview today.  The interview was for a junior technician position at a small networking company in Central Jersey.  I came away from it feeling very positive about the company and about my chances of getting the position.

They are looking to hire right away, but because I am still in school for this last semester, I can’t start full-time until May.  I would just be learning the ropes for the first several months, so I think that I can still do that part-time until I am done with school.  The advancement opportunities look great.  Networking and security are so hot right now.  I feel kind of bad stepping away from my focus in web design, but I think that I can bring that to the table as an asset to the company.

This job would be just perfect for me, because it gives me an opportunity to learn the trade.  I haven’t had the chance to do that in the last five years because of fencing.  Normally, kids in my major take a job on campus, administering the networks that cover the school.  I never got that opportunity.  This would be so perfect because I would learn something that will offer me a great career.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will eat this stuff up.  When I get focused on something, I live in it.  They will be lucky if they decide to hire me.  I look forward to the final interview next week.  I impressed the CEO today.  I have to impress the head of services next week.  It’s in the bag.
