My Brain Hurts

Today I had an interview with a local company, and my brain still hurts. For the last week I'd been studying a bunch of technical stuff which I knew they probably wouldn't ask, and they didn't. This afternoon they had a number of tests I had to take. It was part SAT type questions, part logic and brain teasers, and part programming. I think I did well on some parts, but I know there were a few questions I blew.

The interview portion went pretty well I think, and liked the people that I interviewed with. The job was clarified more. I think I could learn a lot and have a lot of latitude in what I did. One of the people there got a PO for $60,000 in recording equipment approved just to record all the seminars and speakers.

It seems like there could potentially be well over 100 multimedia rooms that need to be automated/managed with over half yet to be built / finished, and they're looking for someone to oversee the acoustical details of the install.

Plus there's a real need to implement an overall management strategy for all the AV rooms themselves. They use some pretty powerful hardware which has the potential to integrate everything. I.e. you could get an e-mail if a projector was malfunctioning, and check out the status of all the rooms on a web page.

I also found out that over 20 people have interviewed in the past for the position and they turned them all down! So I'm not holding my breath.

Still, it's been good to study acoustics and audio these past few days as it will no doubt help in the coming weeks whatever my career path is. They said they'd get back to me within two weeks. Tomorrow it'll be back to working on my business...
