Penn State

My roommate and fellow BD MDP'er (Andy) and I just got back from recruiting for new engineers at Penn State. Just so all you Nebraska folk can rest easy, Beaver Stadium is not NEAR as good looking as Memorial stadium - just looks like scaffolding and concrete. So, we definitely win in the "monument" category... but as noted by Amber - "Ours doesn't produce the same result" - that result of course being winning.

But Penn State showed good form and brought some great engineering candidates - so, interviews were pretty fun today. I'd like to pretend that I'm all "tough cop" in interviews, but really, I like to see the candidates do well -- it's just such a relief when you get someone in there who has experience and actually knows what they're talking about. Otherwise, it's like... well, you know when someone is talking and they have some phlegm in their throat but they don't notice it and they just keep on talking and you start clearing your throat for them? Interviewing a bad candidate feels like that... except instead of trying to clear phlegm out of their throats, you're trying to will them into having some good answers. It hasn't worked yet - so I'll just invite good candidates to the interviews from here on out.
