I spent the weekend cramming. It was the most stressful weekend I have had. Tried to relax by watching a movie or two. But believe me, I was stressed.
The interview was set for Monday morning @ 11a. I reached well ahead of time. It appeared that there was an employee meeting underway and I could hear applause every now and then.
My first interview was with a guy who had attended the same school that I did. So we kind a hit it off.
Midway through the interview, way my oh-oh moment! He asked me a puzzle me. I am not very good at puzzles. And I hadn't heard of this one.
But I took my time and thought through it and with a little bit of help was able to solve it. He said that only 1 in 20 get it. I was mighty proud of myself.
The second interviewer had called in sick. So they made me talk to him over the phone. You don't have the same connection over the phone than you do in person. I thought I did ok, but could have done way better.
The third interviewer was the hiring manager. He was very business-like. Stern and matter-of-fact. He reminded me very much of the VP of my former company. He asked me several questions that required a deep knowledge of the business that the online company was in. Honestly, I wasn't prepared. I had read some literature, but I lacked the indepth knowledge of the company business. I felt out of my league here.
That wrapped it up. The recruiter escorted me out. She is leaving the company, she said and a new recruiter would contact me for further steps.
