A friend of mine got an interview for a contract in-house support position.
It has the option for growth into AD Administration from the get-go which is
why he accepted the position. He needs the experience, but that's not what
this post is about. I felt the need to share some of the things he said post
interview to the staffing agency contracting the position.
He arrived on site to find another guy waiting to interview. He looked over
to my friend and said. "Don't worry they have to positions."
My friend, we'll call him Bob went in to the interview. now Bob is an
intelligent person, he is certified and he has valid AD experience, so he's
calm, collected and ready. His interviewer asked him why all of his
experience was 2500 miles away and now all of the sudden he's moved here. He
replied, "Well my ex-wife moved here and I wanted to make sure I was close
to my daughter." They told him this was a noble thing he did, so he replies,
"Yes, and I'll be sure to throw that in your faces later."
That's only the beginning. Later he mentioned he wanted flexibility to look
for another job, as this was a contract and he really wants to find
permanent employment. They advised Bob he'd need to give a day's notice
before skipping work to find another job.
It gets better. so Bob nails the interview and the XYZ Company hires him on
the spot. now he reports back to the staffing agency to find out just how
little he will be paid. He walks up to the secretary and says, "I think I'll
need about $17.00 USD per hour for this job." She said, "well it's $15.00
per hour because that's what we are paying the other guy. " he replies,
"What the hell does that have to do with me?" She tells him it wouldn't be
fair to pay each person differently, so he asks her for the guys phone
number so he can call him and they'd both as for $17.00. She then tells him,
"Well this is a Non-Profit Organization and they are limited on their pay.
You understand don't you?" With a quick witted reply he says, "Well my
apartment complex is a for profit organization and I don't think they'd
understand."
Needless to say he didn't get the $17.00 per hour, instead he got $15.00 but
he still got hired and was given the flexibility to find another job on a
moments notice. They only ask that when he does quit that he lets them know
the day before if possible.
I thought this was pretty funny. Goes to show how much the interview is
based on personality and hitting it off with the interviewer. Oh and how he
got this interview. My patented Resume format. :-)
