Okay I honestly don't think that went very well. I got home a half hour early and plugged my cell phone in so it wouldn't go dead during the interview. He called and after about 5 minutes I LOST SERVICE. Sitting in one spot right beside my window in my bedroom, it just went dead. He called back and I aplogized. He was asking me questions about designs and water main fittings and stuff and I just felt so dumb. I didn't know. But I kept repeating that design is the direction I'd like to go in and I really would like to learn.
He also asked about salary and I used the recruiter's advice and told him I don't know the going rate in the engineering community around Vancouver so I couldn't say for sure. I gave him my current salary and said I would expect a raise from that to be switching jobs. Anyways, then he told me a bunch about their projects, and about the area. He also asked what my plan is and when I'd be out in that part of the country next. I said I have no idea, I've actually never been to that side of the mountains, but if this job turned into a real possibility that I'd for sure go out there and check out the area. And basically he said I would need a lot of training and he'll have to talk this over with other people and he'll call me back in about a week.
Oh yeah and he wants me to also send him some drawings I've worked on so he can see what I can do.
Ugh this is stressful. Maybe I should just be happy where I am.
