Earth Hour

In observation of Earth Hour we turned off the breaker to the house for an hour from 8 to 9 PM. We played hide and go seek and told ghost stories. I’ve attached a picture of the family being silly, I’m sure it will make you laugh :)

Westen's Job Interview

So now that Avi told everyone about my job interview this blog seams like the appropriate place to transmit my story as apposed to a mass emailing.

The job: I applied for a job at Apcon. It's a manufacturer and distributor of physical layered switches used in test beds and enterprise level computer networks. The position I applied for was Web Developer.

The Interview: I had the interview yesterday and it went well. One of the down sides to being quick to respond is I was the first person interviewed and I have to wait till they finish interviewing before I here back from them and hope I'm not forgotten while I wait. It was not a technical interview so the questions were more describing myself and my skills which I prefer over answering technical questions as that seams to just turn into a game of trivia and doesn't accurately portray how I would be in the position. I felt I connected fairly well with the three interviewers. There body language indicated they were happy with me and would probably hire me if on one else applied and seamed more qualified. One of the interviewer said there is lots of entry-level and senior-level talent in the Portland area but not very many mid-level developers so it sound like I have a good shot at the position. My next step is to draft a thank you letter and deliver it to them some time next week.

Thanks to everyone for the happy thoughts.
