Almost a decade ago (OMG! it's that long.) I had a second interview with this company. I had been looking for a job since graduation in May. It was pretty stressful because I wanted to gain some experience working in US before going home at the time. I wasn't here just for a degree. Experience is far more important than that. My dad already sent me a note at that point that I needed to go home and get a job there instead.
The interview was set in December. Pretty cold for a girl from Thailand and studied in Arizona. And I probably broke all the rule the job recruiters had such as dress professionally. I think I had something like a ski jacket on instead of a wool coat. I didn't speak English that well. And let's not talk about my listening skill at that time (or even now!) I didn't know how to drive so I took a bus to go for an interview. (You must know about the bus mass transit here.)
I don't remember much what I said or what I heard. But I remember pretty clearly that I was asked if I would like a cup of chocolate before an interview and if I needed a ride to a metro (train) station afterward by our Rebecca.
Do you know any business manager who would drive an interviewee to a metro ?!
Amazingly I got a job and am writing about her on my blog.
