per_soloSo, the interview today was interesting...basically, it's a financial consulting group that is wanting to help prepare students for financial burdens after school and such...
It made me pause, as the structure they described, with opening new branches, and trainees becoming trainers quickly, made me think Pyramid, and I'm of the generation that when you hear the word pyramid, you automatically go "Um, hmmm..."
On the other news side, I got back from that, and the phone rang just after walking in the door...place called "First Line", that does financial institute tech support...asked several questions, and one that just took me by surprise...question was "What do you feel is the first step in troubleshooting a problem?"...to which I replied "Listening to your end-user", and was told that she loved perfect answers...I expressed slight puzzlement, and she informed me that I'd be surprised how many people miss that one. Requires bonding, as it does involve money, and travel, and some odd hours...we'll see what pans from it. I should be hearing back from them in a day or so to setup an interview time.
And, of course, the interview tomorrow...which, from the initial sound, sounds similar to what I'm doing now. We'll see (And, of course, there'll be an update here about it). :-)
