I put together a resume and I went over the Internet and I went through places like headhunters and all sorts of companies and I called up their names and I found their e-mail addresses to submit resumes. I must have submitted 50 or 60 resumes by way of e-mail, and I got some responses that way, but not very many and they weren't very serious.When I got my response from Sony, I had actually already submitted three different resumes.
I sent it to one of the managers here, a personal letter saying I would be valuable to your team, please look over my resume-it was the same resume that I had sent three other times, but I had sent it to a manager.About a week later I had a phone call saying, hey, let's bring you in for an interview.
So I went into the interview and I was extremely scared. I had prepared for two weeks for this interview. I was completely frightened. . . . I went in there and I was prepared for all these technical questions and all these difficult questions ...I was asked very many questions that revolved around how I related to others and my teamwork skills and problems that I solved and how I went about solving these problems. Not one question that was technical; not one question was, you know, a problem that they put something down in front of me and said, here, solve this. Basically they said, you know, how do you get along in teams? How do you solve problems? How do you work well with others? What have you done that's challenging? Tell me about yourself. They basically wanted to know about me and how I was going to function with others. And based on that, they hired me. My first interview.
So with my math major and my physics minor, and my A.S. in automated equipment technology-- I have a B.A. actually in mathematics. They usually don't hire an engineer unless they have a B.S., but they hired me with a B.A. I was very excited . . .
