Last Friday I had a phone screening with a local company. Based on the job description, it seemed like not too much engineering would be involved, but it was related to acoustics and multimedia, so I applied. During the phone screening, the job description was much different. Basically this company has a $100 Million dollar (no typo) learning center, over 65 Audio-Video rooms, and a brand new huge auditorium that holds over 4,500.
They're looking for someone to oversee the management of these rooms, make sure things run smoothly, and are open to suggestions to upgrade and improve. This sounds more like an IT/Management position but with the potential to play with a lot of fun audio hardware and software, RFID, etc. The truth usually lies somewhere in between, so we'll see what the role looks like at the actual interview.
I guess the phone screening went pretty good as they contacted me this past Tuesday to set up an interview, which will take place next week. It would definitely be a good opportunity to put my acoustic and multimedia knowledge to use, as well as learn quite a bit a well.
As a result, I've been reading lots of acoustic and multimedia books which has been really helpful as I work on my consulting business as well. From what I've read, only about 1% of people that apply land a job at this company, so I'm not holding my breath. But at least it's given me extra motivation to brush up on a lot of acoustic reading.
