I had an interview with Applied Signals Technology on Friday. It was a phone interview. I was able to schedule the CS conference room which was nice because then I got to use a speaker phone and not have to hold my cell phone to my ear the hold time, or burn through my minutes. I think it went really well. I was feeling more relaxed than I often do in interviews which really helps. I came up with intelligent responses to his questions, and I believe my answers to the technical questions were correct and showed understanding of the subject matter.

The company is basically a defense contractor, so you can't get a whole lot of detail about what they do exactly. They create products that the Department of Defense would find interest in mostly: radiation detection systems, unmanned aerial signals collection platforms, explosives detection systems, etc. They have several offices around the country, I'm interviewing with their Salt Lake City office.

The interviewer said that someone would contact me sometime next week to let me know what happens next, whether they continue on the vetting process or tell me they're not interested.

Sounds promising Kyle! I just hope that if you are offered the job, you don't find out that they do work that you feel violates our constitutional rights. Maybe you should clean up your blog so they can't find any anti-Bush rants. On the other hand, with Bush gone maybe that's not a problem. Michael used to want to work for the NSA but I think would have philosophical objections to that now.

Good Luck Kyle! Hope the don't do work that violates our Constitutional rights.

Apparently, your blog doesn't want my comments. I write one and submit it and it just disappears. Maybe you'll have three entries from me and maybe none.

Mom seems to have issues with the comment system here....

You probably need to refresh the page after you've submitted the comment in order to get the new comment to appear.
