Campus interview
by Leion on May.18, 2006, under General
Went to school for campus interview today with my best friends Jf and rEtz.
I went for 2 interviews. First one was quite good, I am quite interested in the job too. The interviewer seems to like me too.The only thing bad is the location. Think I should have a nice chance.
Next I accompanied Jf to another company interview. This company is the same one I went for an interview 2 days ago. After that, we proceed to another company.
The second interview was quite funny. The company was super popular and there are so many people waiting to get interviewed. I had submitted my application form early so I managed to get interviewed before the end of the day. The interview was quite stressful. The interview started off with the interviewer asking me about my citizenship and my place of birth. I was thinking this is not a government job so why was he so concerned. I asked him if it mattered. He replied no and I told him my story. Though I was only asked a few questions about programming, I had a hard time answering questions like :
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- What the the 3 things you cannot stand?
- Why did I want to join the company?
When he asked me what I think would be the day to day matters that I will be doing if I were to be employed, I asked him what does the short form in the job name mean. It seems that only that then he know that I was apply for THAT job. He had thought that I was apply for another job. He explained that he was the head of another department and the person in-charged of the job I am applying was not around.
At the end, he told me I had a good chance of getting a second interview. I am not sure why so since I think that I did not answer his questions well. Nonetheless, I thank him and left.
I checked my phone and saw a missed call. I called back and got a piece of good news. I am selected for a second interview for the interview I went 2 days ago. Actually I think they replied slightly too fast. Hopefully things will turn out well. I will need to go for a second interview at their client site next week. It is on the same day as another campus interview. There is one job I have much interest seeking interviewees on that day too. I guess I shall be busy traveling on that day.
Hopefully I can get my dream job soon
