Well guys, today was my interview at RackSpace’s San Antonio Headquarters. It went ok, I was extremely nervous, and there were only two people interviewing me so it was intimidating (Who do I look at, what are they going to ask me, is it good cop bad cop? lol). I applied for the Level I Linux Systems Administrator (1st Shift) position.

I really hope I get this job for the following reasons:

1. I want to be a Systems Administrator (It’s the career path I am pursuing)
2. I knew it was a relaxed, laid back but hard at work company with a fun environment, but I simply fell in love when the reality of seeing it in person hit.
3. The people I HAVE talked to who work @ RackSpace seem really cool, and I think the people you work with make the job.
4. When I stepped in I knew I belonged there because a nerf bullet was stuck to the window in the lobby…really high up. (Haha)
5. The managed support room is to fall in love with, you can tell the people there are awesome based simply off of how they decorate their cubicles.
6. Everybody is really nice
7. I love computers
8. I love helping people
9. The fact that, during my interview, they used humor like I do. (Some people take things too seriously, work AND play is the motto right?)
10. If I get this job, I can get the certifications, move up in the company, afford college, have a successful future doing what I love to do and getting PAID to do it.

and I could go on and on and on…but in the mean time, lets just hope I get the job. If not, I already told them they’ll be seeing me again.

I want this, badly, not because it’s a JOB…it is NOT about the money…it is really about being able to do what I love to do and actually getting paid to do it.

So my feelings are now transferred to the Internets.

Thank you internet, and wish me luck. Either I am going to be getting it or I will not, the phone call or email will tell.
