The Analysis

Well it was my interview today. I didn’t struggle to answer any questions and there were three guys there instead of two (and no HR manager either). The bizarre thing is though, I can’t decide whether it went really well or just plain OK. It’s really hard to judge – even if they did repeat that they were impressed with my CV and test results.

I know for a fact from the agency that the company in question is very picky about who they employ. As a result, I was rather surprised to discover that there was no HR representative in the interview (as I’d been told to expect) or was there the usual tour of the facilities. Puzzling indeed.

I was also the second of the two interviewees – and the first one was running a little late which resulted in me waiting for a while. Did the lack of tour and HR person mean that they’d already made their decision – especially since I’m certain I saw the other candidate having a tour? But there’s a twist too – upon saying my goodbyes, one of the interviewers said “See you again”. Was he being polite, or did he know something I didn’t?

So I’ll just have to wait now – I usually wait seven days before abandoning hope. I’ve given my feed back to the agency and, as is usual for a job agency, I’ve not heard anything back about my interview. Still, they could be still making their minds up or, as tends to be the case with the agencies, you’re soon dumped if you’re not their man.

Never the less, keep those toes crossed!
