Anyone Know Anything about TruSecure?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I am interviewing for a management position for them on Thursday. Anyone have any insight to their operations or anything?

I know its a longshot, but figured I'd ask.

Website if you want to know is www.trusecure.com

That's a pretty impressive gig, what position are you interviewing for? They are a pretty major player in the Network/Data security field.

Good luck with your interview SHM. I know you won't make any of the mistakes these fools made:

Vice Presidents and personnel directors of the one hundred largest corporations were asked to describe their most unusual experience interviewing prospective employees.

* A job applicant challenged the interviewer to an arm wrestle.
* Interviewee wore a Walkman, explaining that she could listen to the interviewer and the music at the same time.
* Candidate fell and broke arm during interview.
* Candidate announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewers office.
* Candidate explained that her long-term goal was to replace the interviewer.
* Balding Candidate excused himself and returned to the office a few minutes later wearing a headpiece.
* Applicant said if he was hired he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.
* Applicant interrupted interview to phone her therapist for advice on how to answer specific interview questions.
* Candidate brought large dog to interview.
* Applicant refused to sit down and insisted on being interviewed standing up.
* Candidate dozed off during interview.

The employers were also asked to list the "most unusual" questions that have been asked by job candidates.

* "What is it that you people do at this company?"
* "What is the company motto?"
* "Why aren't you in a more interesting business?"
* "Why do you want references?"
* "Do I have to dress for the next interview?"
* "I know this is off the subject, but will you marry me?"
* "Will the company move my rock collection from California to Maryland?"
* "Does your health insurance cover pets?"
* "Does your company have a policy regarding concealed weapons?"

Again I reference you to Family Guy. This particular episode has a scene where Peter is being interviewed for a new job.

"So, where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

(Peter notices a picture of interviewer, his son, and a really hot woman)

"Don't say doing your wife, don't say doing your wife, don't say doing your wife..."

"Umm, doing your...son...?

Good luck on that interview, SMH! :)

Contract and Reporting manager, I'm interviewing with two VP's, and two directors (for 3 freaking hours - no pressure there). Yeah, I'm starting to get a little nervous.

Glad to hear they are a big firm though :)

Yeah, they publish a monthy network security mag that I get. They also provide IDS, firewall, and network and data security services as well as consulting for major companies, and the government. At least I believe they have DoD contracts. Either that or they were feeding me a bunch if crap to get my business.

Anyway, good luck!! :grin:

Being one of those guys sitting at the table is so much fun. It's nice staring down at someone from your big chair while they sit in a little wooden chair and sweat!

[Betheny]

Don't be nervous, they're the ones pursuing you!

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

So, today at 3 I go to the firing squad. I'm even wearing a tie :(

Any last minute suggestions? I intend on asking if they mind if I smoke while they question me.

[Betheny]

You look hot in a tie.

Try hitting on the men that interview you?

[Caipre]

So, how did the interview go, eh?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

So so, think they were looking more for someone with a marketing background, not so much analytics like me.
