*So the interview actually went quite well I think. I wish they'd pay for us to stay in the city a little longer though; I got in close to midnight, slept, woke up, interviewed, then left basically. But I guess they figger, if we get a job offer, we'll have plenty of time to see the area. They had us staying in suites at the Marriott though- VERY high class.
So anyways, there were actually 2 separate interviews I guess. The first was more like, "Hey, these are some projects I'm working on. Do any of them sound interesting to you?" And the other was a certified grilling- a behavioral interview. But yea, the thing that worries me the most is the security clearance. Like it's proving to be a much bigger hassle than I would have imagined. (Without going into too much detail,) Just cuz I have relatives who aren't US citizens, I may be disqualified from working there. And I wanna just be like, "Dude, Uncle Sam, take a chill pill! Just cuz someone's not a US citizen doesn't mean they want your security secrets. Not everyone's after your lucky charms, man." Blugggg, what a hassle. I reeeeeeeaaally wanna work for them too. =(
Also, I've got to get myself one of those leather portfolio things. I was the only sucker among the group that went in with my crappy Mead paper folder, haha. I'm sure that just emanates class. Oh yea, and I forgot to get the business cards (or even the full names) of my interviewers, so I guess I don't really have any means of sending thank you e-mails either. Bah. Poorly played.
