Job Interview


Binkmeister

256 views

Went to a job interview last Friday, for a "startup" that's been going for a couple of years already. They need a webmaster, somebody to do everything from site architecture to web app development to blog setup and maintenance to UI design. Sounds exactly like what I do, so I'm hopeful that I'll get a call this week. They do internet security work - more than that I can't say. Mostly because I don't know much more than that.

 

Turns out a lot of the skills they're looking for are things I've learned by doing LEGO-related websites, especially ILENN and BZP. So maybe doing LEGO sites will help get me a nicer long-term job (as opposed to the contract work I've been doing since November). It sure sounds a heckuva lot more interesting than what I'm doing now (which isn't bad, just kinda boring).

 

The good part would be getting into a really nice job and office environment (near the top of the tallest building in Portland - OMG the view rocks), the potential downside would be less time for BZP and LEGO stuff. It's always a tradeoff.

 

Hopefully writing about it won't jinx it.

good luck, and judging as how you put everything off for the Bink Tower, you'll find time for Lego if it means pulling all-nighters. (I'd love to do that, just stay up all night building!)

PS, I really have to check out ILENN. It was mentioned once on the frone page of BZP and then "forgotten." (heck, I don't remember what it's for totally)

I finally fixed ILENN, it had had some problems with too much data, but I took care of that. So it's back up and running. There are suggestions that I redevelop it and integrate it into LEGOFan.
