My fingers are crossed for you Matt!

Keep a positive mind about it and try feeling deep down inside that you've already got the job. You'll get your Stang back!

Take care and keep your head up.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Good call Scott. Another one of the ways you make WIX a great place!

Well Matthew...the only thing I can glean from your post is, the interviewer must have a very high threshold of pain if he can talk to you for 90 mins. ("Just funnin', son. Just funnin'." :D)

Really, though. 90 minutes...he had to have liked something about you.

Luckily, I only had one job interview in my life. That was with Capital Airlines after I got out of the USAF. Got hired. Stayed for 34 years. Luckily, never laid off.

Anyway...Like I said...after 90 minutes, you should feel good about your chances. Any idea when you'll find out.?

Mudge the optimistic :drink3:

ps. And the bad news is...as far as getting you Mustang back, if I was the one who bought it, it wouldn't be for sale...sorry. :twisted:

Not to anyone with thick Russian accents and lots of furtive glances, I trust?

And if it was, does reading this make me some form of an accessory?

You are in our prayers Matt.

Been there done that too.
Let us know when you get the job!

Matt, best of luck on this. It seems to me hard to believe that you have not been able to put your experience to good use at a resonable salary.

I would stress to an employer your willingness to do the job. It is always a good idea to research and know as much as possible about the specific needs of the job. It might be a flight school where getting the job done cheaply and keeping the planes flying is the key, or a first class shop where time is less of an issue than top quality. It is so important in business now to be able to work with other people also. In the end, you could offer to let them give you perhaps a try, work 3 days , and at the end if they decide to keep you they owe for the work. If not, no cost to them.

Hey Matt, hang in there. You're a good man with a lot to offer; if this interview doesn't turn out, then one will soon. Fingers crossed, and if you're ever headed out to Tempe, email or pm me-it would be my pleasure to take you to happy hour on Mill.
