Interview stuff

See I told you I would try to post more often....

No, didn't break up with Teri, but I have been interviewing a lot. And it sure seems like being on a dating show. Everyone is nice to you, they all tell you that you are great, the smartest person in the world, etc. I'll explain the recent interviews, and give each a grade rating.

On 7/22 I had an Interview at the Library of Congress. This would be a slightly different role then I currently have. This position holds the title of Security Assessment Engineer. It seems okay, but it seems like just the same ole Government Contractor song and dance. And they aren't even ashamed of it. They don't have a contract in place, so we'll have to see how it goes.
** As of August 1, I haven't heard back from the LoC.

During this week I was contacted by headhunter that I worked with a couple of years ago. I didn't have a very good experience with the headhunter's company, Convergence, so I was a little leery. The job he is working for the Census Bureau. I'm still a little bitter about this job, but I would a least talk to the people.
I had a phone interview on 7/23. That went pretty well. It's bringing up a new data center that isn't at Census proper, but at a Harris Corp property in Largo. I think I could do the job so I went forward. On 7/28 I went for an interview at the location. Unfortunately the technical people who were suppose to show up, didn't show. This was a major waste of time.
On 7/30 I had a phone interview with the technical people. I guess they were ok, but seemed to be a little bit of a hard-ass kind of attitude. Not sure if I'm keen about them.
At this point if they made me an offer, I would only accept it out of spite, and make them PAY big time.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by this contracting company, Genesis10. We talked about a job, that was a short term contract, like 6 months. If I were to take this job, I would need to make some money out of it. So I gave them a relatively high dollar amount. I didn't think anything would come of it. Well lo and behold, they are making me an offer. I had a bunch of questions, so I had lunch with the Program Manager today. This inspired the title of the post, he was working his best to convince me to join their company! The contract was awarded, but they don't have a start date. This means there are funding issues. The job would be working with the USDA in downtown DC.

Finally, I was contacted by another contractor working at Andrews Air Force Base. At first I thought this may be on of these fly by night companies that aren't around very long. It seems that they are actually decent size. And the job is interesting where I would have to travel overseas a few times a year. I would also be the lead network person, so this makes it more interesting. The problem is having to go to Andrews on a daily basis when I'm in town. But we can see how this works out.

So there you have it. That is what is going on in my job search.
