In the waiting room

Finally, I have that case presentation behind me! A few hours ago, I presented a case to four panelists of this multinational company that I am trying to get into. One particular panelist tortured me.. She bombarded me with question after question that I wanted to tell her to relax! It is quite obvious that she was there to rattle me. She did ruffle a feather or two, but I believe I was cool enough, all things considered.

After the presentation, I left the conference room and went to HR. The nice recruitment officer asked me how it went. All I can say was, I am not sure. She said this test is really required for all managerial posts. Now, I ask, can I handle more stress in my life?

Since January, the CFO of this multinational company mentioned about the case presentation and because of several rescheduling, it took all of two months before I got my final schedule.

For two months, I have been on edge, waiting, wondering where all these will take me.
Now, I am just so glad it is over that I don’t even know if I still want the job! Especially after meeting the country manager who looks quite scary.

Another bummer is the CFO, who left the Philippine office because his contract has expired. I was so looking forward to working with him (As if!). He is French and nice looking too. Imagine my disappointment when I was told this morning that he won’t be there during the presentation.

So , now I wait again. But I know within a few days, I will get my answer.

They say that you will have a feeling if you think you made a good impression or if you will get the job in question.

I am feeling nothing.
