Phone interview with GD NASSCO's contracts manager last week has turned into an in person interview for later this week. I hope this one finally turns into a job. Will be my third interview down there over three weeks. Compliance team, cost analysis team, and now contracts. Both of the prior teams told the contracts team to look at me, so hopefully they're as impressed with me as everyone else thinks they will be.

That reminds me.. don' think I updated here after my interview there last Wednesday. We were scheduled for rain on and off throughout the day. When I left work to head to the interview it was clear, but as soon as I got on the freeway headed down it started coming down pretty good. I wasn't wearing my suit, since I don't dress up at work and it's not public knowledge that I'm searching for a new job. Finally cleared up as I got to Chula Vista so I could change on the side of the road/back of the :jeep: real quick. Get that done, drive to the location, park. Things are looking good now, sun is out a bit. Being at the shipyard, you have to badge in and out, go through turnstiles, etc.. I get to the guard office, tell them I'm there for an interview, looking for Brett. Guard hasn't seen him all day, I have to go to HR office around the corner and get an HR rep to badge me in. Find the guy Todd I'd been scheduling everything with, and he walks me back to the guard post. As I'm signing in, it starts sprinkling a bit. We're both standing outside the post waiting for Brett now, and it fucking dumps. Second or third heaviest rain I've seen in my 5 years down here in SD. As we're standing there, the first shift employees are getting off work and rushing out through the gate, making looking for Brett even more difficult. One of the guards finally lets us come inside, out of the rain. We decide to fuck waiting for Brett, rush the gate, badge through, and go into his building and find him. I get to the turnstile, and my badge from security doesn't work. So had to go back through the rain to the guard shack and ask what was up. While we'd been standing in there before, they lost power because of the storm, so they think it has to do with that. Tells me to go back to the turnstile and they'll manually buzz me in. 15 minutes after the downpour starts, I'm finally inside the building and getting introduced, sopping fucking wet in my woolen suit, to Brett. He let's me take my jacket off and hang it on his door so it can dry a bit and I can be a little more comfortable. White shirt, and no undershirt, so I was definitely showing some nip.

Dropped suit off at the dry cleaners first thing after the interview.

No Desertbreh-esque flourishes to my writing, just a funny story of an unfortunate incident. Luckily I still crushed the interview. Apparently too hard since I was deemed over qualified :lol:

Too bad you didn't get the gig. You probably intimidated Brett too much with your see-through shirt and wet pecs.

Was an interesting experience for sure. HR rep, Todd, actually ended up being a cool dude and we exchanged a few emails laughing about it afterwards.
