Online Class Notes (Jesse)

I have talked to the hiring manager about my application for the new position at last week, during the conversation; I learned that she cares more about candidate’s logical thinking skill. Before I talked with her, I had met my friend, who are working in HR, I went to his office and discussed about how I should prepare for the interview. I also heard that this position has been discussed among management about whether this should recruiting now or hold it for a while.
