That’s how I feel at the moment just after a job interview -
an INTERNAL interview. It felt very strange to give an interview to people who
I work with everyday. Prior to the interview, I thought there is possibly
nothing more that I can tell the panel than what they already know about me.
But I was wrong. The interview appeared to be the best time for me to
demonstrate to the panel what skills and experience I have developed while
working with them over the last two years and how I would like to develop it
further.
I am not too worried about the outcome as I absolutely love
what I currently do. Of course, it will be an added bonus to be successful
today and move a step ahead in the career ladder. But I have nothing to lose if I am unsuccessful
today.
When I stepped out of the house this morning, all I had in
mind was that I must do my best in both rounds of the interview and I have managed to achieve that.
During my interview prep, it was interesting to analyse what the other external
candidates may bring to the position and what unique thing I have to offer to
the role. Well, to find answer to that I had to be myself at the interview. After
all, who else is responsible for creating my professional reputation other than
me!

Well, I haven't faced the interview yet but I know it's quite strainful !
ReplyDeleteIn interviews there is a challenge to prove others that I am the best , I have more capabilities than others in a short period of time!
I liked your positive attitude and your determination to give your best!
Good Luck Dear :)
Congratulations for doing it the way you wanted it. And yes, the interview board is always the place where we can showcase what we hold and can hold.

Giving your best is a victory in itself. You certainly do live up to your name 'Always Happy'. Although I would love to know your real name :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the outcome.
fear to loosing something is very harmful..
ReplyDeleteand the important thing i observed here is that you knew that you are not going to loose anything.. so naturally you had to excel at the interview,as you did.... by your own way.... CONGRATS.
Thank you very much and happy to be amongst my online friends again.
