My interview

I was working in one of the biggest shipping companies from last 6 months. Suddenly one day I received a call from a VP-HR of a company asking if I would like to come for an Interview with a Online Gaming Company.

I was quite excited as I always spent most of my time playing online games. I wanted to know about this industry and be a part of a Gaming Company.

The first thing I did was visited the Company's site and started to read about what does the company do.

Post my MBA I had given many Interviews and was pretty much sure what the questions would be and how I could crack the interview.

I was well prepared and did not want to miss this upportunity and was quite excited about my interview next day. Finally it was 9.00 am and I jumped out of my bed and ran to get ready. It was time to go.

My interview was probably the most unusual of the bunch.

The Interviewer began with questions that I never expected. The interviewer was more interested to know the attitude of the person and not much about what I did in my previous organisations as it was hardly related to any of his work.

Once the interviewer started to explain about the Company and the kind of work they perform it didn’t seem like the project was fully related to my field of experise. However I was very much excited to learn about this industry and to my surprise I also got selected.

I was actually not much concerned about the other details like work timings, salary package, etc that an employee actually is more interested about. I was so excited about the company that I even forgot to ask what time I have to come on the joining date.
