The job is in Tampa Bay area, but there is travel involved which I do not mind. It will mostly likely be throughout Florida and some other states.

Yes I did accept. The job sounds great and everyone of the employees that I spoke with really enjoy working for the comapany. The base salary is a little lower than I wanted, but with the benefits and bonus program they have it is definately a step up from the company I was with last. I will...

Just an update.. I wore the suit pulled out all the stops and was offered the job. Interview went really well. Had to meet with at least six other interviewers. It was a stressful day but in the end worth it. Thanks for all the tips.

Not really too familiar with the interview process with larger firms. Since I had to interview only once in my career and found out immediately that I had the job. Since this is the second interview and I am meeting the owner and other members of the team, what are the odds I get the job? Am I...

Suit it is!!!

Normally I wouldn't even think about it. But since Forensic guys are more casual attire than design guys I was second guessing myself. On my first interview the interviewer had on a pair of dockers and a button down shirt no tie. He even mentioned about if I worked in their office, the tie would...

Yes, a suit coordinated suit. Not slacks, tie and sports coat.

Just wanted to run a question by some of you out there. I am interviewing with a Forensic Engineering firm next week. Actually, this is the second interview with the company. On the first interview I wore slacks, dress shirt and tie and felt that was appropriate for the interview and things went...

I got my wall certificate last Thursday. Pretty Cool.

I ordered two. One pocket type seal and a table long reach seal. Nothing fancy about them but cannot wait until I get it. I should get it in the mail tomorrow.

I just checked myflorida.com and I have my PE number issued already. As far as obtaining my seal, when can I get it? Do I have to wait to hear from the board? Also, can I take the Building Code Course now? It's official... :party-smiley-048: :multiplespotting:

Just wanted to let all the new Florida PE's know that PE numbers are out. I officially have my PE number. Whoo Hoo. When can I get my seal? Do I have to wait to hear from the board or can I get it now? How does that work with the code core course that we have to take? Now that I have the number...

Don't feel so bad. It took me two times of taking the structural 1 that i should of taken the civil/structures. I finally did this past April and PASSED. The civil/structures is more manageable than the Struct. 1. Keep your chin up. You will get it next time.

Passed Civil / Structural. First two attempts Structural I. Congrats to everyone who passed. Passed in Florida.

Third times a charm. Passed Civil / Structural. First two times Structural 1. I will be going back for Structural I & II now that all the pressure is off. Great feeling getting that Pass notice.
