First phone screen

I was apprehensive as I went into the first phone screen. I decided to drive to a nearby parking lot away from work so that I could take the call in peace. The first place I chose to go had a lot of traffic that made listening to my cellphone hard. So I drove around and the second place I parked had poor cell reception.

I finally found a place that had good cell reception. The time came and went and still no phone call. Ten minutes later, my cell rang. Turns out that the interviewer had gotten my numbers mixed up and had called home first. Fortunately he had tracked down the recruiter and gotten my cell number and had called me.

This company has a reputation for folks who don't suffer fools too well. So I went in expecting to talk to someone who was hardnosed and churlish. He turned out to be nice and cheerful. It helped that I was prepared and was able to answer most of his questions.

The recruiter is supposed to contact me next.
