Interview Suicide

on Thursday, August 24, 2006

Went for a job interview this morning. For the first time in a long while, I actually feel good about the job and the boss. :)

She asked me what my career objective was (among other things). I hate this question. I never know how to answer this question, even after having attended more than 2 dozen interviews in my 6 years (almost) of working. I mean, what IS the politically correct answer?

So, I told her the truth. I told her I didn't have any career objective. It's funny how, when you first start working, you have all these hopes and expectations of the job, the boss, the colleagues, the working terms and conditions, etc. But then, you come to a point in life where all you really want is to have enough time to do the things that you want to do outside work hours. I guess, some people would call it "work-life balance".

...

It's all in God's hands now. Que sara sara.
