When you think of success money, fame, fortune usually come to mind. Although this is not always the exact definition of fame in some people's eyes Josh Bambrick, a Neumont Grad, has obtained his version of success. Josh graduated in December of 2011 and was offered a few different positions with different companies. The one that struck him the most was the position of a salaried consultant specializing in java and IBM technologies for Ascendant Technologies(A tech). The process is as brutal as any other job search but Josh had the aspirations in order to help him achieve his goals.
The interview process started with an interview from Matt Dostal, a former Neumont student, who worked for REI Systems and moved to A tech shortly thereafter. Through Dostal A tech found out about Neumont and this led to Josh's initial interview along with several other students.
After the initial interview they had him take an online test to further his process. When the test had been graded A tech decided to fly him to Austin Texas and interviewed Josh for the second time. After a successful and impressive interview they gave him an offer and he accepted it.
He plans on enjoying the perks with the job that include working from home and reimbursed travel costs as well as getting paid regardless if he is "On the bench"(not on a consulting job) or not. Josh's future consists of a three month training program in Austin, Texas and moving back to California, his original home state, and enjoying a break from homework.
For those students looking for a future employer, Josh suggest figuring out exactly what it is you want to do and to work with Shawn Loutensock to find companies that offer that specific job. He also suggests to "Go fishing" which means to take all possible interviews given to you.
