Hmm... Afterthought for SN Interview
Hmm... What can I say... I've got such a short term memory, but I'll recall bit by bit...
First: Talk about myself... Hmm, didn't really recall much... I think I blar about myself, how poor my academics are, how I don't really see the link between theory taught in Uni and industry (esp my line of interest is IT and I'm doing Comp Eng). I still uphold that especially my key points brought back from Hong Kong - University is a place to teach you about how to learn fast and do proper documentation; but practically, they are of very little use, unless, of course you are in R&D.
Anyway, back to the topic, yeah, I was mentioning how I was sort of loss during then, or so I think, but I did seek help from the student counsel though I think it's more of after my stint in Vanco did I learn that there are still some use for theories, though not that much; you are not expected to know the intricities of how a protocol works, what sort of voltage level a network cable use and so on...
They also asked me my work in Vanco, what I I also mentioned about my stint in Vanco, which I think, I answered quite confidently though, since it's like quite a standard answer for me... Day in day out, handle network issues when customers called in and logged a call and project management of network migrations... They further probed what I'd do when I encouter a difficult customer, which I think I almost meet everytime - standard procedures though, find the root of the issue, attempt resolving the issues or call carrier, if beyond knowledge scope, escalate to Senior Engineers.
Hmm, what's next. Ah, I was asked on my weekness, and I said I did asked my colleagues about this and quoted Wansan - "You should be more assertive" which I do agree and added my own perspective into it, I take on whatever work that's passed to me unless I can't cope because I think I could learn / drill my skills by taking on additional load.
I think that's about the end of the interview... They do time and time correct me on my posture, saying in the begining, I'm too serious and I need to relax and leen back a bit, towards the end said that I should maintain constant eye contact as well sitting straight.
Perhaps I should attend the interview workshop to train my interview skills. Hmm... I should put that thought in mind...
Oh, and at the end, they gave me a comment - "I'm honest", meaning to say I expose too much of my weekness? Is that good or bad? Something to think about.
Oh, an unofficial news that I received is that I cleared the interview; I'm however, more interested in their evaluation of me for this interview. Feedback is always good. ^_^
