This photo is in no way related to today's post. Frankly, I couldn't think of anything relevant to shoot, and I didn't want to take a shot of my potential future employer, since I didn't want them to think I was some kind of freak. I was playing around, shooting the cats tonight, and I just thought this picture of Chloe was adorable. Just goes to show what boredom will drive you to, late at night when everyone else is asleep....
I had my first job interview today! Well, certainly not my very first, but my first in this new job hunt I've recently began. The company is called Leading Edge Hydraulics, and it's a small-ish machine shop in Rockford. They've been around for about 30 years, and they specialize in hydraulic tubes. Their two main customers are Caterpillar and John Deere, but they have about 30 different companies they supply to.
I was interviewing for a Floor Lead position. If I get the job, I will be supervising 3 people on 1st shift, and two others on 2nd shift. I think the interview went very well. I had about a 1/2 hour interview with the HR Manager, then went for a walk through the shop with the plant manager. For those of you who work or have worked at Belvedere, it really reminds me of the old Plant One Fabrication department. The main difference is the size. The entire plant is metal fabrication. They don't have a lot of employees, but there is room for a lot of advancement through the plant. There are several different areas that have floor leads, and the plant super says eventually, they may create two floor supervisor positions to manage those leads. It seems that the right person could really advance well there. Hopefully I'm the right person! As I said, the interview went very well. I should be hearing back from them either late next week or the week after.
