went on an interview

I went on an interview today to work for Dell tech support, i had to take a test for pre screening and i passed so i should have a 2nd interview soon. They are hiring 1500 new people, so i think my chances are pretty good. They pay pretty well also.

That's VERY GOOD DA! Did they say anything about the merge with the gaming company?

darkangelism · 03-29-2006, 11:10 AM

no, but from what i read it will be a seperate business unit and will stay in miami. My job would be with server support. Im still not sure what my salary will be, i put 25K and the lady told me to buump it up and i made it 35, but i think its still low by maybe 10,000, so ill have to see if they offer me a job after my next interview and for how much.

that's great news DA!!! you'll make a nice living with a salary like that.

Will you be located in the Oklahoma City area? That's such a good clean place to raise kids. My oldest son some of his school years growing up in Broken Arrow...outside of Tulsa. I loved that place. I have no idea why I ended up moving back to Florida.

Congratulations DA. It sounds like a decent job, and hopefully you will love it. And make certain you get paid properly, and not a dime too little

well i hadnt started looking when dell pulled my name off a job site, and the fact that there isnt a big marketing company out here.

Agreed! That's a really beautiful place to raise a family for sure! You can buy a great house there for a fraction of other cities of the same size.

and im used to NYC prices, so it seems really lolow, like the place i want, is $850 a month for 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and the apartment is like 2/3 the size of my parents house.

darkangelism · 04-01-2006, 01:13 AM

well i got a call from them and i have my 2nd interview on monday with a manager. Im nervous about whether or not i have enough knowledge for the job. a written test is one thing but an oral one is harder...but if i can do well ill get the job and be trained on more specific stuff.

Star · 04-01-2006, 06:01 AM

good luck on the interview DA!! i'm sure you'll do great!

Vautrin · 04-01-2006, 06:16 AM

Good luck with the second interview.

Even if you would not have enough knowledge for the job now, your diploma's prove you can be taught a lot, so I would expect no problem even then; unless they consider you overqualified.

You'll do great.
