Indy’s BLOG – Jobsearch – Navigation

Vil had an interview for a position as pre-sales account manager. First, his TomTom20 guided him to the wrong place. Same street name, but the wrong district. After entering the address manually all worked out.

The interview itself was a catastrophe. At first, the team leader had no CV at hand, then she didn’t like Vil on a personal level. It seemed to be on both sides a deep dislike. The cherry on the top was the miscommunication between HR and this team leader. She was totally sub-optimal informed. Salary, bonus and relocation assistance all advertised but not existent.

In the role play, Vil was better than good and he showed that he can do the job easy. The guy who did the roleplay was nice. Vil would have loved to work with him.

Anyway, today came the negative feedback.

No surprise. You big, baby-blue BLOB!

Really?! WFT!

It’s interview time. Unfortunately, the recruiter told shit and the salary is not as high as expected. Also, there is no relocation bonus. So be aware that recruiter actually has no interest to find the best job for you, they just want to sell as many jobs as possible, because they are paid by numbers and not quality.

Indy’s BLOG – Job Interview @ 15:00

At 1500 our future life will be decided there. Does Vil get the job? Will he be technical pre-sales account manager? Will he earn more money then we need? Will we stop travelling? Can we buy a big camping car soon? All this and more will be decided in less than five hours.

[UPDATE]

Vil used his TomTom and unfortunately, the guided him to the wrong location, but that wasn’t a real issue because Vil had plenty of time left and finally arrived. Coincidence? The device he used was a TomTom20. 🙂
