I met the the System Administrator of the Computer Science department at the a Physics expo at school towards the end of the Spring semester in may of of 2011. Towards the end of the Expo we exchanged phone numbers. In June of 2011, he calls me and ask about my interest on the open position. He goes on and ask about skills that I have that set me apart from others and also asked me a specific situation where I had to resolve a difficult problem. He asked me if I could send a copy of my resume to his email, that he would take to the department Chair to verify if I was eligible to work for the department.
Three days later the System Administrator called me back saying that the department Chair would like to meet me in person. The Chair asked me about the same questions, we went over my resume and than he made me the offer to work part-time for the department while I was a full-time student.
