So the interview:
Arrived to LaGuardia at Queens. Had a fuckin driver picked me up!!! Yes!! A driver!! I was that important...for a day. Anyways, he drove me to Danbury, CT and dropped me off at the hotel. Then I forgot to tip him, lol. That night we went to Ishiros, one of those Japanese places where they cook in front of you. As I looked at the menu I see a steak that I want, it was $30!!! So I said, "shit no, thats too much." But then I looked at the rest of the menu and turns out that was one of the cheapest things on it. So I got it. Fuckin nice and FREE. I sat next to Vanjia, the lady who will or will not hire me. So dinner was nice. I met all the other interviewees and they mostly suck. I was great, they sucked. I reviewed my power point presentation that night and then I laid and watched tv until midnight. I laid in bed for 2 hrs!! Not fuckin kidding!! I was super anxious and just wanting to be done. I set my alarm at 7am but woke up at 5:45am!!! Totally not me. I was more anxious than nervous, fuckin hate interviews.
Anyways, so I went to my interview. Arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the thirty minutes early that I was suppose to arrive. So, that was good. They were going to interview a total of ten people and they separated us in three sets which lasted two hours each. First group was I, the earlier one and there were three of us. The interview started with a presentation from them about the job. Then, they kicked off the two other candidates and I stayed there with 15 people from the company, 13 girls and 2 guys. Anyways, I nailed the presentation!!! I mean, I was fuckin good!! Didn't stuttered, didn't say "hhhmm" maybe a few times but not many. What im trying to say is that I fuckin shined in that room. I was making eye contact with all of them and they were enamoured with me... I mean, the girls.... how couldnt they.
After us three were done with the presentations about "How are you the best candidate for the job" the actual interviews started. They were mostly psychological questions where they would ask you, "Have you ever been in a situation where...." and like a million of those questions. I thought I did really well. At the end of the interview I was told that they would let me know by the end of this week or would call me to tell me to wait another week.
That day once in NYC, I called Kurt, who is the one who got me the interview. He called his ex roommate, who was part of the interviews... not a decision maker though. Dan was a bit afraid of telling Kurt information since he knew that Kurt would tell me about their conversation. So this is pretty much what Dan said according to Kurt, "Jesus did very well. Everyone liked him. They eliminated five candidates out of the ten and Jesus is one of the survivors. But it can go either way with him depending on the ten coming next week. We are only hiring 6 out of the 21 being interviewed. "
So I guess that was good news and bad news. I thought they were going to hire at least twelve but theyre only hiring six!! Fuck me!! I am nervous, I do see myself getting the job because I think I am perfect for it. The problem is that there are many people being interviewed with a Masters degree but I believe that they are over qualified and hopefully will decline the job... even though these days everyone is putting their hands in whatever they can get.
So cross your fingers for me or pray for me if you are religious or send me good vibes or whatever works these days.

Damn, man! Your interview was a lot more complex than I thought!! I really hope you get the job, but I definitely do not want you to leave! I am torn...
ReplyDeleteI will send you good vibes, but if you get the job and leave - you better come back and catch some shows with me!!
Congrats!! I hope that you get it for your sake, but I'd be sad for all of YF. What is it you'd be doing exactly? I wasn't aware you were in NYC until I saw that your fb status...haha. I know what it's like to be lonely in NYC!
