Ryan – I’m not of mechanical background… thanks for the info anyway.

moo_t / sweewon – It happened to Cinderella too.

camlok – Mine too. I guess they’re all the same.

Well something good might come out from the things we thought we screwed up (vice versa), happened to me all the time with “exams”. Good luck!

From what you just describe, if you think you are not on par to work on that company which “more advanced than company X” , prepare for surprise.

quinn – You know, with your cooking/baking skills, you can just open a deli and enjoy working while getting paid a lot. ;P

ryan – Why? You’re hiring?

feizal – ‘Somebody up there’ screwed a lot of things, not just me

What is your field of expertise?

The problem with Australians, they have so many stages for fresh graduates, two phone interviews (one with HR and one with line manager) only followed by a face-to-face interview and then a site visit to test your technical skill before you’re hired. Anywhere in between you fucked up, you’re eliminated. I absolutely fucking hate it!!!! Anyway Michael, I wish you the best of luck and no man on earth deserve to go through what I am going through. Good luck mate.

quinn – Phone interview? Wow. How inconvenient. I prefer to talk face to face.

ST – Thanks man

Eric – That’s what the interviewer said. Shouldn’t have happened. The HR screwed up.

Arkane – They didn’t actually actually give me a ‘hard time’. I think I handled myself pretty well. It’s just that I don’t think they’re convinced I’m right for the job, hence the barrage of questions. But yeah, if I go through, it’s going to be tough and challenging, no shit.
