TALKative Interviewer...

Received a call from CRXXX company asking me for my 2nd interview... Actually it was a coincident that Uncle John knows the HR director.. They were at a picnic gathering and they happened to discuss abt their work...He gave her my mobile number to contact me for arrangement of interview today.. I was still in bed when she called me.. She said the VP of sales will be away next week again so they have to re-arrange the interview this afternoon.. A little rushed for me but i think it's worth it cos this is one of the 1st choice company that i'm interested to work for.. Anyway, the meeting was at Woodlands Regional Library as the VP stays nearby.. 3pm was the meeting.. i was told that i can even wear causal... yeahhh..

I'm not so ready today for the meeting so i asked DaDDY a few common questions that normally they will asked the candidates.. Guess Wat he responded >>

Question: So Why Are U interested to join our company?
DaDDy: I'm interested to join your company because my partner wants FREE samples of your products... ;-P

Question: What do you think your strength is?
DaDDy: I love to talk alot..

Quesion: What do you think your weakness is?
DaDDy: I talk a lot of rubbish ;-p

Aiyor.. So idiot rite?? Shouldn't have spoke to him.. only know how to answer me stupid things..

Anyway, DaDDy drove me there and i met the VP exactly at 3pm.. A tall and Big frame American, He and his family was here for only 9 mths only.. trying to adapt to the lifestyle here.. His kids are big already, all in their teens years and the family had just left to America for summer holidays...He travels alot for his work and hardly around the office in Singapore.. Understand that He carries many portfolios in which he manages the regional business in Asia Pac and Mid-East.... He seemed unsure that if this is really what i want to do as my background is entirely different.. I have more product management and marketing experience and this job is very much a sales force management.. i told him my intention and interest and that my job experiences actually complements well with the job requirements. Anyhow, he discussed alot on the challenges and difficulties he faced in his business... in fact he talked 70% of the 1hour conversation and i only answered like 4-5 questions? It was literally more conversational than most of the interviews i attended, i was then more comfortable...

Think my chances of getting the job is probably 70%/30%... I was told that from the HR that i was placed as one of the 1st priority candidates.. so chances of getting the job is pretty high.. hope that the HR is not giving me false hope..
