Crunch Time I Got Interview Tomorrow
Crunch time I got an interview tomorrow for a full-time Product Marketing Engineer position at Cypress Semiconductors. The company is in San Jose and they are a big producer of memory and timing devices. I was surprised to get the interview because the our recruiting website is screwy and they didnt notify me until 3 days before. I went to the information session tonight and from what it sounds, the company is very dynamic and competitive because most of the people employed are in their mid twenties. They're recruiting at 14 schools and only 8 people are going to get selected for the PME position. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get past the first round given the competition within our school. And also when I talked to the recruiter before leaving he said to me "Your resume is very interesting, I will talk to you about that tomorrow." And he said it twice... so I think I'll have a good chance of getting in the second round. But the second round is what I'm afraid of. Its a whole day's worth of interviews at their HQ in San Jose and they're going to "pick my resume apart" and throw a bunch of technical questions. Basically they're going to make it as stressful as they can for me. Which is why I am bringing all my books home and going to review everything I've learned in the last 4 years that relates to electrical engineering. My goal is to get an offer from this company, and I'm gonna everything I can to get one. Its funny because I often find myself taking interviews and job search much more seriously than any class I've had. Preparation is key to success... but I'm just not good at that when it comes to preparing for exams. On top another topic... I partied too much over the weekend. Holy cow. The weekend basically started on Thursday for me. I drank everyday except for today and partied hard on Thursday and Friday. I can't even get Thursday and Friday straight. Also everymorning I wake up and feel like someone kicked my ass and stole my money. My body aches in the morning (probably from the drinking) and my wallet is always empty. I think it is empty because I spent al my money and never refilled it so I feel like I am constantly broke. Good thing there's that piece of plastic which gives me a frequent flyer mile for every dollar I spend, yay! We'll see about next week, it all depends on how much stress I take on this week.
