A quick update on the interview. There wasn't an offer, yet, but I feel very confident, based on what took place and what was said during the interview.
First of all, thank you all for the thoughts and prayers and advice. I appreciate it more than I can say.
Now - about the interview. When I applied with the company, the position posted (that I submitted my resume for) was for Desk Side Support, Level 1. When I got the phone call, the interview itself was for Desk Side Support, Level 2. When I got to the office for the interview, the interviewer explained that the Level 1 job had closed out, and they hadn't gotten the content off the website yet. He then explained that the Level 2 position had been filled as well - however, my resume was an excellent fit for the Level 3 position they had open. The Level 3 position is less support, and more of a liaison between the end users and the developers. I'd take ownership of at least two enterprise applications, and work between the end users and the developers of the software, determining what needs to be addded, determining if the problems the users are having are really problems, or if they're something else, explaining to the developers what those needs and issues are, shepherding the updated product through QA, and pushing it out to the corporate environment.
Needless to say, that's a whole lot more than I was expecting the position to be - but I am up for it. It's more responsibility than I've had in the IT world, but it's nothing I haven't done before, in one way or another.
After almost four years of getting screamed at by strangers (my own job description on my current position), I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
God does work in mysterious ways - and thank you again, for all your prayers and everything!
I'll let everyone know where it goes from here.
Got the job? Loan me $20?
A challenging job is the best kind there is. Plus, think of how the additional responsibilities will boost your resume.
About nine years years ago, I was in a similar situation (hated my job) and interviewed for one that was above anything I had ever done (international logistics management). I was hired and I was nervous about it, but ended up growing into it, meeting the challenges and LOVING it the whole time. (Lost it when the department was dissolved in '03.)
If you get this, it will be God's will and you'll do great. I just know it.
I'll keep those prayers coming. Good luck!
Sounds great! Thanks for letting us know.
...I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. .
You have the right attitude that's for sure.
Now, like any job interview the hardest part is the waiting for that call-back.
Continue to keep us posted.
Yes, keep us posted.
