Yesterday I had a job interview. A job interview with a company I already worked for. A company I worked for, for more then 13 months in the last 2 years… Sounds weird? Well, it feels weird as well. It’s a new project, but very closely related to the project I worked on last time. And the main thing I fail to understand, is why they need to hear from me what I have done in those 13 months?! They have direct access to the best possible inside information they could ever get: The people who sat besides me during that time! They know exactly what I did and how I do my work, plus they work for the same company that interviewed me, so who better to give an honest opinion about me?!?!
I didn’t mind the interview at all, but I think I would have preferred them to check internally first, to get a recommendation from the people I worked with. Or maybe not. But that would mean I wouldn’t be the right person for the job! Or that the people I worked with didn’t have much confidence in me. Either way, it felt very weird explaining what I had done for their company the last 2 years. Even more, as the people I was talking to had no clue about what we had done in the last project… But well, apparently they liked what I had to say. Just waiting for their confirmation now and if it comes, I could be in Stockholm again on Monday! As always time will tell…
