over due qualifications
Tuesday, July 25th, 2006Had a look see at a global-company’s career site a few weeks ago & landed an interview for a Test Manager role with a Senior Executive. The place looks great as expected of one of the leading IT brand names in the world. The interview was intense but fun, we connected on several levels. I asked a few intelligible questions about the role & company career progression. But if I am to be honest I don’t think I will get the job.
They’re looking for big named-commercial tools in your belt which I do not have (because most companies I worked for preferred obscure cheap tools). And also he pointed out that most of their employees come to them very early from Undergraduate programs & mature to managerial positions. They rarely hire external sources with established careers. But he said they’re not negatives against me just a few points they consider. Yeah sure.
I was almost tempted to ask why they called me in the first place. But kept the comment to myself as I enjoy the calm of the professionally designed office interiors. I did enjoy the interview & somehow brought memories back of my much-loved Ortigas office.
The thing alam ko naman na ganito ang nature nang trabaho ko pero talagang minsan di ko maiwasang maapektuhan.
thus, my kids are really lucky to have two...
