Nice place to vent, fume, share good/sad news, and vent about your boss to complete strangers.
So, I had a few interviews a couple of weeks ago, and I ended up making it to the last round before being told I didn't get the job. No biggy really as I enjoy my job now, however I do need a new one. (long story but bascially my boss, who happens to be my father-in-law, bought a beach house, doesn't work anymore, and then just told me that he is done working and wants to sell.)
Anyways, I have started to improve my networking, keeping up with old colleagues that I rather had good relationships with and just basically keep in touch.
Well, I got a message from a guy I used to world alongside with when I was at Dell Secureworks, and turns out the company he works for is hiring a Cyber Security Engineer for the Sourtheast. It's mostly cloud based security (which isn't my forte, but I'm learning more and more about it and it's where the future is), and so the company actually reached out to me regarding an interview, which is supposed to take place today.
I've been doing some reviewing of the job description, and just shoring up my cloud security lingo, however, this morning I had to send them an email and just let them know that this interview, which is to take place via Zoom, will have to be taken by me in a cafe, as my dog literately broke my internet.
I sent the below email off to the HR lady who has been setting up the interview, and already I have gotten a reply from her and the hiring manager saying how much they laughed at my email, and the hiring manager mentioned that with COVID, taking my interview in a cafe is not a problem. Also, before today, I had never heard from the hiring manager regarding this position.
