L'entrevue

The Interview. I had my interview at ETT Environmental, Inc. today. I think it went very well! I am not terribly experienced in being interviewed, and I don't think the interviewer was very experienced at interviewing people, so it was kinda difficult to judge where I stood. The job sounds very interesting. The company is very small, which I'm excited about after having been a tiny fish in the gigantic body of water called UF. They only employ 12-15 people at any given time. The company was founded in 1991 and is well established and doing well. I would be working in two different departments, toxicology and chemistry. I would maintain the study specimens...water fleas..and help to set up, run and change water toxicology tests and do statistical analysis. It is an entry level job and they are willing to train. I would also have opportunities to be a part of the field team that would go out and collect water samples as well as macro-invertebrate species. I think it would be great to be able to work both in the lab and in the great outdoors. They have slightly unconventional hours 8:30-until the job gets done, between 4 and 6 usually. Since the test subjects have to kept alive, weekends are also sometimes necessary. They generally have two busy weeks and then two less busy weeks, and generally employees work one busy and one light weekend a month. They generally get off that Friday though, and only have to come in for a few hours Saturday and Sunday. They have competitive benefits, and have a matching 401K plan. I really liked the people I met there and loved the job description I got. I think it would be a great way to begin my career. I was told to expect a call in about a week, and that they have a couple more people to interview. Please continue to pray that if this job is God's will for me, that I will get the job, and that if it isn't God's will, that I will just learn from this interview experience and be more confident and hopeful in finding the right job. Thanks again.
