As I said in the previous post, the view of my performance in interviews seems to run directly counter to what my interviewers thought. Throw in some other random bad things today and I’m betting that I’m feeling ska-rew-ed.
Company A - First interview: Well we just had a great time, and I’m surprised that my interviewer didn’t ask me to marry her daughter.
Oh well, I didn’t want to be a polymer manufacturer anyway.
Company B (the one I thought I bombed with yesterday) - 2nd Interview - First round: My math and approach were good, but my interviewer told me afterwards that he couldn’t rate me very highly because it seemed that I lacked confidence in my responses. He also told me that the next interviewer would be much tougher.
Company B - 2nd Interview - Second round: I demonstrated understanding of the basic concepts — it turns out that participating in their online game helped a lot. My interviewer hinted that I was the only candidate who had been able answer several parts of the question correctly.
Oh well. I didn’t want to be an energy trader anyway.
And to make my day worse, I got a parking ticket in the morning. And later I ran over a squirrel.
And it’s only 2 o’clock. What a friggin’ day!
You ran over a squirrel??????????
It’s not like I did it on purpose.
