Have an interview with Helix on 4/17...

I have an interview for an internship with Helix on Thursday and I was wondering what I should look out for or anything that will get my foot in the door. I'm hoping that Tony or someone else will pass on a good word to my recruiter.

If anyone is curious I can PM them the names of the people I will be speaking with.

Thanks for any help

Sorry, we don't hire LT1 owners anymore. We already have plenty of boat anchors.

In the interview make sure you drop the statement that "the Prius is the greatest car ever".

Will work wonders!

One of my recruiters mentioned that he did/does offshore work, which I would love to do.

I would pretty much love anything except coffe brewer.

Taking all Helix employees on LS1tech out to lunch will certainly help your chances

Haha well I'm excited, jeez. I don't want to be changing tires for the rest of my life. I'm only 21 and I've changed tires for over 4 years...I think I need a career change.
