Interveiws for technician jobs: 10-17-01

1. LUIS MUNOZ Aguada: Weak on theory and on exam, except for logic question.

2. IVAN CORDERO Quebradillas: Essentially perfect on oral written exam. Excellent candidate. Intrested in having own scope and home lab. Knew some rf and some PLC control.

3. DAVID ORTIZ

Guessed that induction motor, like all motors, uses brushes. But did fairly well on oral

"written" exam. Did op amp problems correctly, also logic, dc circuit. Didn't know ac pp voltage is different than 120. Ganesh found that he is familiar with RF concepts, transmission lines, reflections, etc.

4. ADRIAN

Hadn't finished Aguadilla program. Now working on Assoc. degree at National in Arecibo.

Weak on theory, algebra; couldn't do Ohm's law problem. Hadn't seen op amps.

5. WM. IGUINA

Working on Assoc. degree at National in Arecibo. Like Adrian, weak on Ohm's law, hadn't yet seen op amps. Recognized logic gates but guessed wrong.

6. WILMER

Fair on Ohm's law problem. Good at control circuits; i.e. he could probably wire up a motor/relay/pushbutton on/off circuit or maybe a 2-way light switch. Had been around PLCs. No experience or familiarity with RF.

Summary: The three strongest candidates, in order of technical knowledge seem to be

Ivan Cordero, David Ortiz, and Wilmer
