it is come to my mind from time to time, that normally i don't go to a proper interview to get my previous or my current job.
went back to my previous 4 jobs, most of them is not really having a proper interview on me.
but one which i most remember is when i got a call to attend to an interview at 4 PM, while i don't really know the exact location of the venue, and it's 1 PM which i'm not sure whether i can get early leave.
i manage to come on time, well a bit late, but it's 4 PM and i've already in the building, but somehow reluctant to enter the office due to no information shows that it is the office i want to go to.
after met with the security guard, who ask me to wait, and i met this guy, it's a foreigner. a friend who informed me about this job is not telling me that i had to go for interview with a foreigner.
what i'm worried about is my english which was very rusty. been years that i'm not using it.
so, my future boss then asking me about sql server which i answer with high confident.
a few minutes later, he ask me to wait in the room. and then come another foreigner!
gosh, the latest one speak in soft tone. which i hardly able to understand.
luckily my future boss kindly to re-tell the question.
the most remember question is
"how do you picture your self in the next 5 years, if you're accepted here"
so, after a short thinking, i gave an answer "i picturing my self as an IT Manager in here"
the reply kind of shock me. "in indonesia there is no IT Manager" then he added "but i get what your point is"
there.
a few days later i got the acceptance call.
