Still, everyone interview I conducted while working in Korea was on the telephone, so it cuts both ways.<br /><br />It's too bad you had the Skype issues, being late would have cost you a couple of points with me, but not enough to where I'd pick someone less qualified. <br /><br />I fully understand the question about whether you'd bail for a better offer. That was my pet peeve when I was hiring. I'd spend lots of time evaluating resumes, narrowing down the field, setting up the interview, etc. Then when I make a pick I'd get "oh well, you know with my son in school it's not a good time for me to move to Korea." I'm like why the fuck did you apply then? Believe it or not, that kinda shit happened about 50% of the time.<br /><br />The question regarding your knowledge of CUD is also pretty standard. People want to know how engaged and motivated you are to integrate with their organization. I don't think it's a big deal, again I'd look at that kind of thing as more of a tie breaker between equally qualified candidates.<br /><br />In the end, the whole interview process all comes down to human reactions to other humans. Not quite the singles bar scene, but still there's a chemistry thing at work. Personally, I gravitated to candidates who were confident but not arrogant, self-assured about their competence without being a braggart, and articulate without sounding full of BS. BS'ing was the kiss of death with me.<br /><br />I wouldn't stress too much about how you did. You gotta be yourself. If they liked you they'll hire you. If they didn't, well, you wouldn't want to work for someone who doesn't like you anyway, right?<br /><br />Here's hoping for a good fit!Johnhttp://www.mccrarey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-80447624027114408872013-05-30T21:46:46.784+09:002013-05-30T21:46:46.784+09:00Good luck!
