my interview

today's the first time i went for a formal interview after about 7 years gap. the last time i went for an interview was for first job after graduation.

i think i failed terrbily at the interview with a panel of 4 which went like that:

P: so tell me about yourself?
Y: *dumbfounded look*huh? let me start with what i do at work ... blabber blabber

P: so tell me what it takes for you to join us?
Y: *stumped* (quietly thinking .. errr must have criteria to join? )

P: so tell me how you can contribute after joining?
Y: *stumped AGAIN*

i tried to be funny by throwing back the questions to them only to get it deflected back to me. So we went round and round question 2 and 3 asked in different forms and formats because i am not prepared to answer nor know how to give the model answer. had to go thru like 10 minutes of drilling, i think they got tired of me and so decided to let me go.

... all these not for a job... but for a club membership!!!

i totally was caught off guarded by the questions. well, hope they overlook the lack of substance in me and were impressed instead with my earnest attitude and bright smile.

cant wait to know if i passed with flying colors?!?! :P
