Security job opening
Hi guys,
There is a New security job opening at lockheed Martin that I'm going for. I've been in Security for about 13 years so I have the experience. I'm not going anywhere where I am. I just ask for prayer that if this is God's will He will make things happen, and if it isn't that it won't. The last job I applied for there they filled in-house. I hope this one is open to the outside.
Thanks
John

Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Just thought I'd share an update to testify of how God is working in this job thing. I'm at work and I checked my home answering machine. A gentleman from Lockheed Martin left a message for me letting me know that he got my resume and wanted to talk to me about the positions that were open there. God is working. Thanks for your prayers!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you (my mental fingers of prayer that is, otherwise I won't be able to accomplish anything today ).FFC wrote:Just thought I'd share an update to testify of how God is working in this job thing.

I had the interview from hell today, which apparently will be the first of many. I was put in a room with 5 security representatives. One asked me about 50 questions of the personal nature which seem easy on the surface but aren't, while the other 4 sat and stared at me and took notes.Byblos wrote:I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you (my mental fingers of prayer that is, otherwise I won't be able to accomplish anything today ).FFC wrote:Just thought I'd share an update to testify of how God is working in this job thing.

This took me completely off guard. I was so nervous I felt like I was going to forget my own name. The answers I gave them sounded stupid coming out of my mouth. I left there feeling so humiliated. I wish they could have been in my car on the way home because I was giving all the right answers in there.
Oh well. I hope they took into account my nervousness, because right now I'm not so sure about this job.

The interview was designed to make you feel that way to observe you under pressure.FFC wrote:I had the interview from hell today, which apparently will be the first of many.

Let go and wait and see. I suspect you did better than you think.

Hi FFC,
As someone who regularly interviews and hires, I can tell you that they most likely employed a type of pressure technique to see how you react. Presumably, if you are in a security environment, they would expect you to be observant, decisive and sure of yourself, even if your decision can be criticized with the benefit of hindsight. It is probably more a question of looking for characteristics that they can develop, and not necessarily the right answers. Making the right decision is something that can be learned, the ability to act quickly and confidently is more of a character trait.
So I would not worry to much about the content of your answers. One always thinks of better answers afterwards.
God bless.

Thanks, August, I appreciate the info, especially from someone on the inside. I'm very hard on myself and walking into that room with virtually no idea of what was coming was very stressful. I think I came across as much more calm than I was on the inside.August wrote:Hi FFC,

Just wanted to give you an update on my job interview situation. I had two jobs in my sights and hadn't heard from either one for a couple of weeks. Ironically, yesterday, I recieved a nice rejection letter from the one job and a nice rejection in person from the other.
At least I got all the rejections out of the way in one day. Oh well, God is soveriegn and knows what is best for me.
Thanks for your prayers
