I applied to Aclipse a few days ago, and they liked my resume and want to talk with me about some more stuff. I know I haven't passed a difficult stage in getting this far, though, so I'm just waiting for things to get hard and I hope I don't fall short again.

Looking back on it, I think I performed poorly in my interview for the job. I forgot the particular job and culture I was trying to become a part of, and I think I was too excitable and enthusiastic, possibly too loud and may have, oddly, seemed too confident, which i heard was a bad thing. They don't want someone who thinks they've got things totally nailed. I don't think they knew that I become overly talkative and seem overly confident when I'm nervous. It certainly wouldn't have helped things if I had opened the interview with:

"Hey, so yea, I just want to let you guys know that I get suuuuper chatty when I'm nervous. Okay, let's get this bitch rollin'!"

Yup. Crappity-crap.
