Okay guys, I'm having one of those moments in life where I've got something so huge and important to me possibly coming that I'm wanting to run all over the place and asking people to shake my lucky rabbit's foot/blow on the dice/send positive chi in my direction.
A position that I've been waiting for @ work for two years to have an opening in has just posted an opening. I'm friendly with the guys that work in the department and they're a great bunch of dudes, but more importantly this would be a career defining move and bring in some much needed cash into my household. Most importantly it would give us some breathing room so that my wife could afford to take the pay cut to leave a really crappy job. I've spent the last month studying up on the necessary job info and have spent the last week fine tuning my resume to "know my audience".
I feel like I've got a real shot at getting this one. I'm doing some mock interviews with other management at the office this week and getting a final opinion on my resume before submitting it sometime mid week. Interview would likely be after Xmas sometime.
So if any of y'all are willing, cross your fingers for me or buy a few buckets of chicken for me (chicken voodoo sacrifice, Pedro Cerrano style)?

Robot Master, you are by far my favorite forum personality...good luck and go kick ass.
-
I send positive energy your way.
Maybe I will eat some chicken too.
-
Word. Thanks guys. I kicked that resume's ASS last night. I took it from a vague "hey this guy's pretty good" resume to a non-vague "hey look at all this shit this guy knows and the proven results in the department" resume.
Let's do this shit.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good luck. Also, you already know this, but have a few people proof the final version of your resume for grammatical and spelling errors that you might not have caught.
-
Make sure you're not wearing a tinfoil hat so you can receive the waves of positive energy coming your way...
Good luck!

I will sacrifice a bikini clad woman to the Cathartic Lobster and ask him to bless you.
Also, I am glad you have gotten your chance, I've been waiting nearly 2 years for an IT position to open up at my job. I am a receptionist right now(with over 5 years of IT experience) so I know the frustration of not having the job you know your good for.
;D

find your competition, kill them and eat their hearts so you gain their strength.
-
Or their BRRRRRRRRAAAAIIIIINNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!
-
Maybe I should put a cover letter on my resume entitled "The King in Yellow"?
-
I say make the interview team fear you. When you go into the interview room, drag an unpaid intern with you, and sacrifice him or her.

UPDATE:
The interview is tomorrow at 3pm MST. Hoooo-lee shit am I nervous. I'm studying and finishing up my final prep tonight. Let's hope that I'm the best guy for the job.
-
Good luck. =)
-
Yeah man. Go big or go home. Turn that anxiety into eagerness. KICK THAT INTERVIEW'S ASS.
-
DAMN THE TORPEDOES, FULL SPEED AHEAD.
-
UPDATE:
After a bunch of nerves and whatnot I went into the interview with that "enthusiasm rather than nervousness" attitude. The end result is that the interview was likely the best interview that I have ever had in my life. I won't go into too much detail but the guy interviewing me did a little bit of homework on me himself and it turns out that I'm known for being a reliable guy in the office.
I'm feeling really confident. The hard part is done. Now onto the waiting portion.

After two years of waiting for the job to post, after over five months of fretting and studying, and after a three week long wait after a badass interview I am proud to announce...
I GOT THE FUCKING JOB!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!
Thanks for all the advice and well wishes, everyone. You guys really gave me that little extra bit of steam going into that interview. Especially the advice to replace any nervousness with enthusiasm. I repeated that to myself a few times psyching up for my interview before I did my whole zen no mind thing.
*victory dance*
FUCK YEAH.
I'm stoked. I start my new job Feb 16.
