Coldfusion->IT Analyst

Posted on 18 December 2009

I recently came across a job posting that immediately caught my attention. Not because it was a ColdFusion posting – quite the opposite in fact – but because it appeared at first to be my resume read back to me. The job was so finely tuned to my experience, I looked closer just to verify it wasn’t any of my previous employers filling a hole I had previously left void.

It is here in my hometown which is already a big plus, the position deals mostly with big-picture stuff (without the distraction of handling every little workstation hiccup) and features a team that seems to hold the same values as myself. There’s even a foosball table and a theatre room.

The first interview went long, which was great. It flowed more like a conversation than an interview. In fact it was the first non-tribunal interview I’ve had in ages. I’d almost forgotten how much I preferred one-on-one. Three days later and I’ve already been called for the second interview. I’m very optimistic about my chances.

Of course I will not neglect any chance I get to do programming or learning on my own time, but the focus may veer slightly to more server technology related issues and solutions.

…Assuming I get the job. I suppose I tend to get ahead of myself.
