You know its just so difficult not to take interview results personally!
Yes…. SS had an interview today…. and no… it didn’t work out…
….and that’s fine ( or so I think!)
But its really strange how my mind worked. I reached the office, I got into this smallish building… got into the lift… and I went “No way am I going to work here”…
…I got past the ‘not so impressive’ receptionist… you know… non stylised English types πΒ ( I’m being honest!… don’t judge me!!) and compared it with where I work… the “No” in the “No way” came out stronger
I waited in the waiting area for about 40 min past the scheduled time… and got more dismissive
Got into the interview with these two guys… who just showered questions on questions about some casestudy… the methodology of which is obviously not my area. I knew that I am not the perfect match for this kinda job… and I knew that I wasn’t faring particularly well…
And I kinda knew that it wouldn’t work out… and I wasn’t too enthu to start off with…
…But now, I can’t stop feeling like a fool… imagining myself fielding the questions I was fielding! And a little bruised…
π
So Like I said… taking something personally which I knew in my heart of hearts wasn’t meant to be! I wasn’t a right match… and I wasn’t to keen either… so Why Am I bothered about it!?!?
But… honestly… I am! π I thinkΒ its my wee l’il ego that is the culprit.
Note to SS: Remember to stop taking herself so seriously! And the Job interview so lightly!
That’s my gyan for now… till the next one comes along!

All the very best for the interviews :). Interviews usually go very stressful for me.. And even worse than that is when you have submitted you resume and waiting for the HR to revert! They take days or sometimes even weeks, and you cannot mail them back, else they will think you are over eager π¦
