Had an interview last week that went amazingly well. Walked out feeling great-- totally vibed with the guy.
They called me back in for another interview this week. This time it was three people and I was being 'grilled' with technical questions that were somewhat difficult to answer, due to nerves and not knowing what their resources/policies are.
Am hoping that things went better than I expected, though-- the interview was supposed to be 30 minutes long and it did go over by a good 10-15 minutes, which I think is a good sign.
I just have bad luck in general with this stuff, though. Sometimes I wonder if I jinx myself by posting about it.
Interviews are definitely a weak point for me.
But then at my own job, the last interview I had -for another promotion- was perhaps the best one I ever had. I aced it and walked out feeling like I'd kicked all kinds of ass. And I did, too-- I was told they were completely blown away.
I didn't get the position. Why?
I changed my nick name in the inter-office chat room. Something literally everyone did. And suddenly this was a "security violation" and no one is allowed to do it anymore. This is harmless shit that has gone on ever since I started working here in 2010.
Can't help but feel like this was an excuse.
So now they're about to make all people in my position switch to four day, 10 hour workdays. That's not that bad...except they want me to work a late schedule. Am not looking forward to this and this is what prompted me to finally start seeing about moving on. Actually the interview I just had came from a former co-worker recommending me. He asked if I was interested on the same day they told me I wasn't getting promoted. Took that as a sign to go for it.
