Interview at VMWare *Got Hired*

markulous

Well I didn't want to completely hijack dakinggamers thread so I figured I'd start my own. I signed a NDA so to be safe I won't go into extreme detail but the interview went great.

Had a phone interview with HR and followed up with an online technical exam which I didn't think I did well on but still got an interview.

Did the interview today and some of the technical questions really threw me for a loop. I couldn't even remember some of the basic Linux questions from my L+ exam since I don't use it. I did well on the scenario questions I think and the interview was only supposed to last an hour but went almost 3.

I hope I get it. Tons of benefits, great opportunities, and seems like a great career boost. Also would be beneficial if I plan on moving back to California.

It's still somewhat of a help desk role but it's supporting VMWare products and also pays 10-20k more.

Actually no not at all. This job and one other one contacted me out of the blue off of my LinkedIn. I am starting a better position at my job next Tuesday that has more server and firewall support and I had planned on waiting until next year to apply for anything so I could have a better resume. So this was completely unexpected!

Thanks, this helped finalize my decision to pull my resume from job boards, reduce the stress induced by recruiters and focus on adding some good experience to my resume which could be very possible with projects that are being discussed.

I'm targeting $30-35 for my next admin position. VMWare paying that for a support role looks very promising for future internal positions.
