Damn, Detroit Lions called me about an IT internship set the interview up and everything. Wish me luck.
It's one of them interviews where I get interviewed by 3 people at once. I hate those types Shit always throw me off.
It's all good. Sometimes you will learn if you even want to be around
them on a daily basis when interviews are that way.
I've interviewed people and know a lot of people who've interviewed people.
If you've gotten your foot in the door to interview, likely your resume already qualified your foundation of knowledge in their eyes.
After that 3 main things matter.
1. Your potential to learn what they have going on
2. How well your personality meshes with theirs
3. What you know/your foundation of knowledge
This is the way it usually goes unless they are desperate and filling a void for a critical on going project.
If you are a quick witted person and it's obvious you have the potential to, most people will feel you can "pick things up" as you go. It's usually how it goes anyway because you can't know everything and every place has its own spin on things.
Internships can be good. I know a girl who interned at Apple and got hired on and a couple of programmers who interned at Cisco, got hired on fresh out of college, and are doing some really good things there too.
