Well back from the interview.

Baha, wasn't the best of starts when I showed up at the building and the HR woman who was supposed to be seeing me decided to take the day off. 10 minutes of waiting in reception while HR fumbled through their cock-up!

I was given an application form to fill in and I was so glad I had brought in a copy of my CV with me as I basically copy/pasted (by hand) what was written in there. After that I was taken down to the IT floor where I was interview by 3 guys; the IT manager, IT Projects coordinator and some other IT management bloke.

Opening question, "Tell us a bit about yourself." Buhahahah, fucking typical. I proceeded to tell them what a rather smashing bloke I was using my charm to the full. I had them laughing out loud on more than one occasion.

Asked about my strengths on a technical level I just told them that I was very comfortable working in network environments and trouble shooting. I actually said, "Problem shooting...erm, (it dawned on me), problems." That raised a smile as I quickly corrected myself!

I felt a bit nervous at first but relaxed as the interview went on. Happy to report not even a single bead of sweat materialised on my polished fod. Usually a problem when faced with pressure! The guys made me feel relaxed, one of the managers said the final test for the job would be a Pro Evo Soccer game in my final interview. I had put it down as one of my interests.

My reply to his challenge? "If that's how you hire staff here, get ready to make me president."

Anyway, the interview lasted about 45 minutes and I felt I answered all my questions with confidence, I came across as very positive and made it clear to them that I was ready for a challenge and to work hard. I feel it went really but I know they are interviewing quite a few others for the position.

Finger crossed I get called back for a second interview!

[Mystical_2K]

sounds like it went ok mate, keep us updated

[Q-Ball]

congratulations - sounds like you did well - fingers crossed for a second interview or a job offer!

Well done matey - Lets hope you get the 2nd round of interviews and you get an offer !!! Its a good thing you made them laugh for the right reasons. In that type of enviroment you need people with not just I.T skills and technical ability but someone who has as a good personality and can make a few jokes now and again to keep the spirit up. If its anything like our IT depot, they all are heads at screens and zero comms and no laughter :-(

[BBK]
