Yesterday I got a phone call from some company and they asked me to have an interview this morning and actually the company is not my aim company and they said they checked my portfolio online and they were satisfied with my résumé. So this morning I went to the company and the receptionist told me to fill a form before the interview. At the same time there was this guy who was chatting with the receptionist. Then he saw me. After he confirmed that I was here to interview, he asked me if I wanna go to their studio in this company. He was so enthusiastic to persuade me to join their team. I was a little confused about this situation, so I told him that maybe I should go with the receptionist to finish the interview first. And then he left me his phone number. Then the receptionist brought me to have this interview in another department and here is the highlight: the manager of this department knew about my former company. He showed a lot preference to my former company and my work experience, so he told me that he wished I could join his team. I told him that I still need a few days to consider it and then I will give him the result. After I finished this interview I got a phone call from the guy and he asked me if I told the receptionist that I wanted to join the team that he was in. I said I didn’t, because I didn’t know much about the situation, so I didn’t wanna take the risk to mess up. He was a bit disappointed.

Yesterday I got a phone call from some company asking me to have an interview this morning. Actually, this isn’t a company I ever wanted to work for, but they said they had checked my portfolio online and that they were impressed by my résumé. So this morning I when I got to the company the receptionist told me to fill out a form before the interview. At the same time there was a guy who was chatting with the receptionist. After he saw me and confirmed that I was there for an interview, he asked me if I wanted to join their studio in the company, instead. He was very enthusiastic to persuade me to join their team. I was a little confused about this situation, so I told him that maybe I should go with the receptionist to finish the interview first. He left me his phone number and the receptionist took me to have the interview in another department and here is the highlight: the manager of that department told me that he knew about my former company, was very interested in my work experience there, and that he wished I could join his team. I told him that I still need a few days to consider it before I could make a decision. After I finished the interview I got a phone call from the other guy and he asked me if I had told the receptionist that I wanted to join his team. I said I had not, because I didn’t know much about the situation, so I didn’t wanna risk messing it up. He was a bit disappointed.
