Well I had the phone interview today. Wasnt really too nervous for this one. I thought overall it went pretty well. The interviewer seemed impressed *actually he said he was impressed at the end of the interview.* Unfortunaley because I only have 2-3 yrs of hands on server experince I did not get the position. I was told they were looking into some other ppl, and they would let me know for sure by next week. I had everything they were looking for, but just my lack of server experince is the only really negative thing.

Ah well, not much I can do. I will send a thank you letter tomorrow, and contuine on the job search. If anything else it was good to brush up on my interviewing skills.

Don't worry about it...it may work to your advantage. If they asked a lot of technical questions and you answered them correctly without having the required experience, they may see it as untainted skill. They might see you as a skilled professional with no bad habits. I was int he same predictament, and I got my job as Sys. Admin.
