Phone Interview 3


So finally I got a phone interview.
He was very straight, sometimes I felt a little bit overbearing attitude in him.

Manager "Well....let me see your resume. I see you have some experinces in our field. Can you describe some projects you worked on a little?"

Me"Sure, I was in charge of taking care of Japanese customers after sales service which warranty, user registration and RMA follow-up.... The most difficult project I worked on was creating dedicated databse for only Japanese customers. Technical Support team was using world-wide database to register Japanese customers but we felt that it will be better to have a dedicated databse for Japanese customers for Sales/Marketing team."

Manager "I see.... so how long actually you spent on the project?"

Me"Well....We created very basic form in Access application and started calling up programmers who can create databse system for us..... We selected a programmer and he took about 2months to create the system. In total, I would say around 3 months."

Manager "OK."

Then he made an another call to Japanese IT team in Japan. That is for testing my Japanese skills.

Manager "Hey, I have a candidate for Japanese support I talked to you about. Would you spare some time to interview the candidate?"

Japanese IT "Sure,"


Needless to say, I did not have any problem with Japanese, (ていうか問題あったらヤバイよね)

Manager"Alright, that is all for now. We will contact you in 2 weeks. Thank you very much for your time today,"


Hmmmmm 2 weeks yeh?
Well I guess I just sit tight and wait.....




Ｐｈｏｎｅ　Ｉｎｔｅｒｖｉｅｗ 2


I had to make a conference call for my phone interview.

But there was one problem, I never have made a conference call before.

Well, it's still 2:30pm. There are plenty of time.

My interview won't start till 3:00pm.

I started calling the access number and punched in the code they sent me in email.

Nothing.

OK, second try.

Nada.

I started feeling some pressure inside of me.

Third try.

NOTHING! NO SOUND!

。・ﾟﾟ･(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ･｡ NOOOOO


I gotta get right this time........PLEASE!

Clock was already showing 2:55pm.

I called the company to try to get touch with the guy called me but he was OUT OF OFFICE!

What a luck....

I opened my email and there was a new email from the company.


"Dear *******
Sorry we sent you wrong code for today's interview. Here is new code."

(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉOHhhhh I AM SAVED!

Phone Interview 1

Thursday morning.

I was sleeping late, there was nothing to do today.
My cell phone woke me up. I was like half sleep

"Hello?"
"Hi, I am ******** from Apollo***********. Is *********** available?"

OMG! IT'S A JOB!!

"Speaking!"
"Hi, I am contacting you reagrding your job application for a bilingual technical support position. Can you talk right now?"
"Yes, I can."
"Alright, I would like to set up a phone interview with my boss to talk about your clarification. How'bout......say next Monday 3PM sounds?"
"Sounds perfect to me, ma'am."
"Great. I will give you a call then. Thank you!"

YESYESYESYESYES!!!:*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

A phone interview is pretty typical way to start but this is a start!

I jumped on my computer chair and start surfing the net to look for the company I applied for. I already bookmarked before so it was east to find.
I studied their background information and also googled the company name.

When I finished all that, it was already 4pm..... well, I better get something to eat.
Enough surfing for today.

Job Posting

I was looking for a work for a year. I was kinda in a mood of giving up to find one. My Engilsh is ok level for speaking but I wasn't comfortable enough to make my self push as fully-bilingual.
Well but here we go again.......

I checked out a couple job sites and found a bilingual technical support position.
The company name is Apollo***********..... hmmmm I never heard of them but job is a job.
I sent out my resume with a cover letter as always.

I hope that something turns up soon....
