Hey folks,
Got a call back about a job i applied for, asking me to come back in for a second interview (final 3 out of 85 applicants). Was all prepared for it as i had it down pat for the first interview which ended up pretty informal. Turned up early, they were 40 mins late (stuck in a conference), intros exchanged and then BLAMMO!
The position is a combination of stores control/inventory management/staff trainer and the guy interviewing was an Engineer. Here i am expecting to sell myself, talk about experiences, goals etc and he goes off in a way out tangent talking about handling company budgets, financial control and expenditure and stuff not related to the position. I think he was looking for adaptability if required to work in other sections, but he confused the heck out of me and in the end i walked out the door not knowing how the hell the whole thing went. I now have 2-3 weeks of not knowing until i hear back, if at all.
Bugger, bum, poo!!!
I now know for future interviews to make sure i know everything about stuff that i know nothing about.
