16.7.19 12:46 Interviewed at the Centennial Office Building today with MN IT for a Knowledge Management Lead position. The successful candidate will lead two others and that team of three will attempt to get the knowledge of something like 45,000 people across countless state and county agencies out of SharePoint and onto Remedy. There were 45 applicants and they're interviewing ten; I was the second guy. Winnowing down the field was a huge part of what made my May application drag into a July interview. It was weird sitting in a room with three white guys after all the diversity I've experienced over the past year. It was...a little fun? They had five set questions and I tried to shoehorn in my selling points answering them. I *think* I made the points I needed to make, but I also probably gave them plenty of reasons to NOT consider me - unless acknowledging my many weaknesses is ALSO a strength, in addition to the strengths I tried to describe. It sounds like what they REALLY need is a salesperson - an evangelist to get people on board with utilisation of the new Knowledge Management Database. It's a daunting task. I would LOVE to be the guy doing it. Realistically...I have pretty low expectations. They were way less interested in KFAI than the Cray folks, after all. They said they might be able to reach a decision by the end of the month. You know how I love to wait! But in all honesty, if somehow I landed this job, I would definitely never have to look for another job again...which is almost as appealing as the prospect of eventually scoring a pension! Thanks again to Craig for suggesting the state as a potential employer and keeping me looking there for positions like this one.
