So what was the outcome of sending that e-mail? If you haven’t guessed already, it led to an interview and me getting hired at a local company. Sending the first e-mail had me on pins and needles really because I wasn’t sure if my resume would be able to get me to an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got the call to come in for an interview, I felt a little relief. I had at least gotten an interview which was more than what I had been getting after looking for so many weeks. Maybe I was being a little picky or maybe I was just inexperienced. Looking for employment is not as easy as many people think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I had an interview setup, I was actually a little nervous. I had never experienced a technical interview and to this day, I have only experienced one. I went to the interview and it was the basic usual interview for me. They wanted to know about me and what I expected from the job. I thought the interview had gone fairly well so I was a little hopeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I waited about a week and a half before following up to see if they had filled the position yet. When I contacted the company, I was surprised and happy to find out that they wanted me to come in for a second interview. A second interview! That had to be somewhat good right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t sure what to expect for the second interview. If it was part technical, I was sure that I would fail miserably because remember, I was still a newly learned software developer with pretty much zero experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second interview was almost the same as the first, only it was with two people this time. There was no technical interview. I was a little surprised by that but was happy none the less. After the interview I had to wait a few days to hear if I got the job or not because there was one other candidate they had to interview yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t too worried about that because I hadn’t let myself get to the point where I was so confident that I knew I had the job. It was within a week that I had received the call and they offered me the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a job! This was my first software developer job and I was excited to see where this was going to take me in my career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I have a job, what happens from here? Stay tuned to find out how I adjust to working as a software developer, getting back to working regularly and maintaining a household. See you soon my friends and make sure to come back to find out how things go for me now that I’m working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
