What would you do
This is a question I have asked myself a lot of times - not as being an IT manager but as being the candidate. (When I was the manager, I knew what to look for.)
What are the firms looking for in fact?
I had an experience recently, which gave me another way to see things about this mater.
In short, I applied for a job that I believed that suited me best, and in the end, after some interviews (3 ? HR, Technical, IT), phone calls to the ex-employers and present employers, etc., I had the answer: "You were the best of two we considered in the end, but we chose the other one!"
Sincerely, I was feeling upset at that time when I get the news, but then I thought maybe it was better for me not to be there. The only good reason for which they have chose the other guy may be the fact that the ?other one? was maybe from "inside", I mean he was from the company already. And I can take that, but what I don't understand is why they did the entire "circus" with the interviews, when they in fact already knew which is the "new employee"?
This is not meant to blame someone; it is just because I want to know better how things work in fact, so that I?ll better know next time how to deal such situations. Be more prepared, etc.
Don?t consider me as someone who?s crying and who?s claiming ?justice?, I was maybe not prepared enough ? my mistake, I will continue to pursue my search, that?s for sure. It?s only something that I hope you guys will explain me how in fact things work.
