Yeah, i went to my first ever job interview. and it was ok!
as far as i can remember i though job interviews are some hard to go through, painful, stressful experiences… but when i look back at what i had in my first thing it was not true. i was kinda comfortable with the people conducted the interview. there were two people. one senior programmer and someone… and of course they asked me all the questions… the normal ones… the ones you expect in a modern day interview… i just felt it when they ask me… in some(mostly all) questions… they were questioning something with out really directly asking me about it. its like they ask a question about something, and then when i answer it they determine my qualities or they just get answers to there hidden questions
i think they do check all the attitudes, goals that i may have and all that… and i think i just made them feel that i am a hacker(as seen on TV!)/anti MS, linux lover/BT ratio cheater!/ person with no goals
lol hehe… i knew it! i knew that i am getting my marks cut or i am getting minus marks when i was telling stuff… which was the plain truth. i should have hidden some stuff and let more positive ones out… so that they will think of me in a positive way… and may hire me…
No need to lie… i had a few dreams of the office… the workplace… and how i would work there… lol
hehe… it was fun… but i know work is not always fun!!!
hehe…
It was not only the interview… after the interview they asked me to come and sit for a written exam. and they told me that it is IQ and common knowledge…etc.. so i didn’t refresh ma memory on programming… system analysis… etc but when i sat for the exam… and red the paper… i just knew that i was kinda screwed lol… it asked me to draw a ERD.. and then write some SQL queries… dude… lol… how the fuck am i suppose to know that this is IQ!!! LOL
may be they though that programmers should know these stuff… like normal people know other(normal IQ) stuff…
Any ways it was not all programming/theory questions… there were some IQ stuff… and i answered them… i guess they was correct… i mean my answers… i don’t know… i am not sad about the whole first job interview of mine… its good. i think now i can face the second one with a lot of confidence than my first one…
but… i am still young and why the fuck i am going to a job right now… may be i should do more certs… and gain more qulifications… and have some more fun… !
(that was a another question that came up in the interview
)…
