Sharon Lopez
I was applying for a job promotion in my agency and I received a letter to come for an interview 2 days before the scheduled date.
When I reached the office, I found some of my colleagues who are also applying for promotion. Since there were a lot of employees vying for the open positions, it took me 5 hours of waiting before I was called inside the hall where the interviewers are waiting.
I was asked to introduce myself, give my achievements and my competitive edge. With regards to my competitive edge, I told them that I have advanced knowledge of internet things. I didn’t know that this will pique their interest and will throw question after question regarding this matter.
I tried to answer in a very respectful manner. Though some of their questions are just too personal such as this online thing has an effect on my job and how I can do this when in fact I have a lot of things to do. I told them that I am doing everything after work and during weekends.
Until now, I don’t have a clue on whether revealing about my internet and advanced knowledge on the current technology had helped me or not on the interview. I am just waiting for the result.
Thank you, my friends, for visiting and reading my post.
Hoping you get the answer you desire.
I guess it must have made a positive impact best of luck
I wish you good luck and I hope that the conversation was successful.
5 hours wait is a long time but if its what you really want and you are happy if you get this position 5 hours is worth it. I wish you every success
I think 5 hours waiting is too much. What do they think of themselves? That they deserve waiting for so long?
I wish you to get a good position!
I hope you get the promotion! As someone already mentioned, it’s great to fill the time while you are waiting with some positive activities and emotions. 🙂
I wish you good luck and I’ll hold your fists for you dear Sharon
Thank you, Lado. I’m ready for whatever result.
You have to think positively … from the bottom of my heart, I want you and I hold fists for you so that you can dear friend ….. let me know what the answer
Often in-depth interviews are needed for several positions, and such things are often done to ensure certain things, such as our mindset and mentality. I often interview in various selection for various positions in the recruitment process even though I myself have only been interviewed once in a lifetime for a job, the rest I am always asked to fill certain positions with various offers.
Hopefully, you get a job according to your expectations, Sharon. Good luck.
Yes, that is a part of the hiring process. I am still waiting for the result. We had another interview last week and March 29 is the start of the election ban. So I have a few days of waiting. I am hoping but I am ready if ever I did not get the position. Meaning, this is not for me.
That is a wise way to enjoy life to the full, Sharon. Good luck!
a feeling of suspense while waiting after the interview, ignore it and do something that makes you happy. What will come will make everything more wonderful than me.
I will follow that advice, best article. Thank you for dropping by.
good luck on getting the promotion. of course they asked if the internet use effects your work, they have a one track mind…
Thank you, Alex, for sharing your thought. I will just wait while hoping for the best result.
be sure to let us know how it all turns out
I find that waiting is often the hardest part. ?
That’s true. Anyway, that’s part of the challenge. Thank you for dropping by.
