Thanks for that!

I was invited for interview #2 at Wicked, Inc.

Part of this process involved me giving a 50 minute research seminar. The hiring manager who introduced me said “Many of you in X will be disappointed since Dr. Ronin doesn’t study X!”

I was stunned!

Never before have I been introduced with the preface that I would be bound to disappoint! Thanks for nothing!

I stood up and immediately said (while smiling) “You won’t be disappointed, just entertained with something new.”

In any event, my research seminar went well. Folks asked questions during the seminar and after. And in my followup interviews, they also showed interest and understanding of my research, and noted that it addressed some of the challenges facing Wicked, Inc.
