I went to a job interview yesterday. The position I was applying call Internal Support. Some short like repairing PC, taking care of company networking, printers and more.
To be honest with you guys, I got screwed like hell during the interview. The interview was really trying to piss me off. He asked me some basic technical question and I gave him my answer. ?He was like “NO! Wrong! Is this the way you solve the problem?”.
ME: “…”
Interviewer: “Assume that I’m your customer, I call in: Hey, I press on the power button but my pc is totally blank, black out… Help me! What’s the problem?!”
ME: “Ermm.. Maybe is the cable problem you can try replace it with another power supply cable and see.”
Interviewer: “OK. (Second call) I walk around the whole IT department, at last I found a cable I change it, but it still cant work. ”
ME:”Ermm… you can try changing the Power supply in the PC.”
Interviewer: “Oh.. So you expect me to change the power supply myself?”
ME: “Eh? …”
Interviewer: “Ok, I’ll try. So I ask for a purchase order from the purchase department of my company issue a PO, buy one and replace it. And… It’s still not working out!”
ME: “…(Thinking.)”
Interviewer: “Hello? Anybody there???”
ME: “Ya… Maybe you should try changing the monitor, maybe is just the monitor broke down, none of your PC problem. ”
Interviewer: “Oh, so after 3rd call, 3 days I call in only you tell me that?!”
ME: “Eh…?”
Interviwer: “Basically you are just good in nth! You told me that you can troubleshoot hardware but I see nothing! What else are you good in??”
ME: “?!”
Interviewer : “Do you need me to tell you what to do? (OK) Firstly, can you please check out whether your power supply switch is on? If is on, please be sure u press on the power on button of your PC. If you did that and still nothing, you should try finding a monitor, change it see is it the monitor problem, if still not working out, then you change the power supply switch.”
ME: “(Wasn’t that I was telling ya exactly earlier? What the…!) Oooppss..Sorry. ”
Interviwer: “I see you got no trouble shooting skill at all!”
ME: “(Ya right..) I can’t say I’m very good in this, but I’m willing to learn.”
Interviwer: “Learn? We got no time for you to learn! You are suppose to know everything!”
ME: “(Then I should take over your place if I really know everything!) Sorry bout that.”
Interviewer: “You are taking out my lunch time for nothing. Anything else you want to ask? if not then that’s it.”
ME: “Errmm.. Ok, nothing much. Thanks.”
I think it was sucks. Damn! I;m good in nth… Wat the heck!
Later 6pm
“Is this Desmond?”
Me: “Yes.”
“We are offering you the job, you will start working on this July in AMD, are u ready to start your work?”
