我每次新投一家公司,都会用Evernote专门建一个笔记,里面贴上招聘广告的截图(以免广告网址过期就看不见了),网址,我投的日期。 如果有过email or phone的联系,在下面记下。同时我还有另外两个Evernote笔记,一个用来记录自己interview时有概率被问到的各种常见behavior questions的答案,另一个记录我和所有agency or employer的联系记录。(nicole教的
我在前几次接phone interview和每次进行face to face interview之前,都会跟nicole通电话,nicole每次都很鼓励我,也会向我提一些建议和应对方案。帮我分析面试官的职位及可能提的问题,帮我分析如果遇到个别问题要怎么回答。Nicole一路的陪伴和帮助对我来说真的至关重要,是她在我身后撑起坚强的壁垒,让我有了足够的信心和勇气,去面对外面未知的社会。

因为第一个面试难度太高,我失望了一下但并没有很受打击。当天我又接到一个互联网公司part-time AA position的面试。面试官也只有一个人,感觉应该是个tech,没有问很专业的问题,速问速答进行的非常干脆利落。都是很常见的behavior question,但他最后问我,如果给了我offer,会不会有什么原因导致我从这个职位离职,我停顿了一下不知道怎么回答,最后说..应该没有什么原因会导致离职,我会至少做一年。
虽然这个职位我也没有争取到,但好在他是part-time的,对我的吸引力也不是很大。所以心平气和的接受了。
