While I have researched the company so to say I also have a long standing previous relationship with them. While "them" doesn't mean management or owner it does mean I've worked with them almost exclusively where ever I have actually been employed for the last decade nearly.

I am constantly researching them as I use their products to do my job; This position is a Sales Engineer position - supporting sales and initial implementation of the technology.

Lube; that was a good post - I look forward to part two.

After I did a little reading related to the feedback I got the last failed attempt I quickly realized how I was failing. I just wish I had known that before the last interview because I really impressed him in some aspects but then my energy level was "low" and I was simply too cool. Before I went into the interview, having failed two recent interviews there and one other place I pep talked myself to be cool and relax.

Went too far eh?

Sup - I will ask for the job in the interview. That's good advice as well.

These particular interviews are fairly regimented; I will interview with the hiring manager and then come in for another round with some peers for technical/personal/professional skills evals. Presentation ability is a big key since that's how I'll be spending my time. Presenting the technology. I speak well in front of others but am by no means perfect...

More to come...
