Interview

In the last two weeks, I received many calls for interviews. Some were rejected immediately because of the company itself or its location. I just took part in several interviews I was interested in.

1. Zhuhai Lizhu Mediacal Bio-material Co. LTD

It was located in Tsinghua Science Park, wonderful location and environment. I can still remember the interview room with its windows facing the sea. You can have a panoramic view of the sea through the window. It was a great enjoyment. I passed the company's first interview, and entered the second one (last one too, because the whole progress consists of two interviews) with expection. It was the manager of the company who interviewed us（there were more than ten people) in the second interview. We were told to have a self-intrduction and talk something basing on a given topic during the interview. We drawed cuts for the topic. Luckily, my topic was not profesional. It just required me talk about what influenceed me most in my four years' study in college. I must confess that I was a little nervouse when I introduced myself because the room is full of silence except my voice. But the nervouseness didn't last too long. I was gradually be myself and spoke out all I need to say or answer. When it was over, I was asked to go home and wait for the reply. I did pin my hope on it because I was quite satisfied with my performance exclude from the self-introduction at the beginning. I aslo could feel something different from the eyes of the two interviewers.( I'm not overconfident.) It was true that there was something differential, but hard to explained clearly. Anyway, I was out of the door of being employed. I was wondering why I will fail. But no one will give me the answer except myself. I have to do the self-summarization alone.

2. Elec-Tech International Co. LTD

It is a listed company with sound management system. English major graduates who passed the TEM-8 were its target interviewees. We were required to take an exam and translate two passages (English to Chinese and Chinese to English). It was very difficult to translate the passages as there are too many professional terms I didn't meet before. No matter what, I couldn't give up in the halfway. I tried my best to finish the translation. The paper was checked soon after the examination. But the interviwers didn't tell us the score. I passed and took part in the interview which was in the charge of the manager of that department. Compared with interview in Lizhu, my performance in this one was better, I must confess. The manager is also more kinder. After the interview, I was asked to stay in the company while others who had finished interview were asked to go home. One of the interviewer said she had something to talk with me. Since there were still two gradutes hadn't been interviewed, I waited for more than 2 hours till the whole process was over. The result was that the last interviewee was employed. The interviewer finally told me that they originally decided to choose one of us. The last one won by her humourous chatacter. I was utterly convinced. Yes, she did beat me in character. But I'm not upset, at least I have got something from this interview and known the reason of why I fail in the end though they have taken me into consideration at first. Another chance pass me again. It's quite a pitty for me because it is really a very good company.

Anyway, the most ridiculous interview should be the one hold yesterday. It is a newly-established company and earnestly in need of someone mastering in English as their target market is some foreign countries. When I received the first call of the company, the employer told me they saw my resume on the internet and asded me whether I took interest in it. I didn't answer immediately. Instead, I promised I would take it into consideration and reply them the next day. I finally accepted it on the purpose of just having a try. They told me they would have an English communication with me on the phone in the following several day and then an face-to-face communication. If suitable, we would be picked up to visit the company. However, there was no so-called English communication on the phone. When I received the next call, that person told me that the face-to-face communication would be arranged at night. I refused at once in case of bluff. Yesterday morning, that person called me again and asked me why I gave up such an opportunity. I confessed my doubt and she also explained clearly to me and told me the boss would pick up several candidates to visit the company (the company is in the suburb, industrial zone.) If I was not lost my interest, I could join them. After consideratin, I decided to have a try though my doubt was not completely removed, at least it was in daytime. So different from the other two candidates, I went to the company without face-to-face communication first. We were taken around the company and then communicate in the meeting room with boss. No, it was not commucation because the boss kept talking himself. According to what he said, he had worked in the state-own company for more than ten years. It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to our qualifications and asked us only a few questions. Most of the time the boss spoke by hisself, and we just listened. At the beginning, I was quite patient enough. As time past, all was lost. It was not sense of respect that could focus your attention on his long and boring talking. I had never met such kind of interview and such kind of boss. All I wanted to do was to leave as soon as possible. The qualification of the so-called boss has helped you foresee the company culture and development of the company. I really couln't belieave such kind of person also have the ability to drive the Benz and be a boss. Maybe I haven't seen his best sides.

Now I'm on a new journey again. May I'm good luck .
