The day of Interview !
Hello Friends
This morning I arrived in the office early in the morning at 8:30. My mind was full with lots of wave about interview. Work load was quite low so I managed to find some time to review for the interview. Around 12 I stopped reading and sat for a while to calm and quieten myself mentally. I went for lunch around 12:30 with our staff in the office. Swanaam says don’t take too much food before going to an interview or an exam. Because lots of food makes our brain busy in digesting that food so we forget important things to tell.
I ordered prawn fried rice. I didn’t take whole because it was lot in the plate. I asked waiter to pack the half of food before eating. I don’t like to waste food. While throwing food we should remember people who are fighting for the food. Yes, “we shouldn’t forget animals and bacteria too.” I don’t want to forget animals because some of you can be from animal rights organization.
I came back to office around 1:45. I prepared myself to leave for the interview and bid good bye to my reporting officers and went for the interview. It was not too far from my office; I left around 2:15 and reached before 30 minutes than the time given to me. I went to reception and met with a lady who informed me about the interview and talked with her. Though it was early, that was good for me because I got time to make me familiar to the environment. I was little bit nervous, but this conversation took my nervousness. At 3 I was called by interview panel. There were 4 persons, out of which 3 were gentle man and one was a lady.
Interview was in English medium, I didn’t feel any hesitation to talk. So I am steel feeling glad on that.
All of them asked me one by one. I replied to all the questions except two. It was about clean development mechanism (CDM) and Project Design Document (PDD). They asked me general questions not too technical. That’s why it became easy for me.
What I realized today is , because of working environment in my current office I became more confident. I shouldn’t forget this BBC blog, though it’s a start it also helped me.
Let’s wait, they will call me or not for the job? Hope for the best…….. . Any way learning English is very important.
Around 3:15 my interview was finished. I met my colleague there. He was also there for the same interview. I wished him good luck and came back to office. I opened the blog and read comments. You know this blog has made me crazy.
I opened the Ms Word and started writing to share this day with all of you.
I will address your wishes about my country and life in next blog.
It’s been 05:53 local time. I am gonna go. Bye……… friends.
Have a nice weekend!

Hello Kiran Welcome to the blogs, I wish you a wonderful time here. I wish you success in your results of the interview. Please share with us the common things of the life in India. It would be a great experience for me to learn from. All the best. Bïa
Hi Kiran, I hope and wish you have passed the interview. I am glad that I don't have to pass interviews or exams anymore. I'm retired.
Hi kiran the story about your interview was interesting. You expressed every thing you faced or felt in a good way. I think we all feel the same way when ever we have to give interview or exam. You are absolutely right that the English learning is essential for success in life and I think you have very good English and I m sure that your speaking power will also be high. We are neighbors being a member of SAARC I have heard about Nepal but exactly I know nothing about this country. Hopefully your blog will make us familiar with it. I was thinking that when you already doing a job then what are the reasons that you are looking for another job. I have little bit idea but I want you to tell the reasons of searching for job. Bye till next time
Hi Kiran, I read your 1st blog and wrote back but it did not appear, but its OK after seeing Amy’s comment. Your blog is not only interesting but also motivating for me. I wanted to find the same economic detail of my little country, Sri Lanka too. I will try the link given in you blog. We have a population of 20 million while still having 3 main languages including English. May be because my country is an island and yours is not. You must have finished your exam by now and I could wish you if I read your blog at least a day early. Be happy now. Exam is over now. Bye for now.
Hi Kiran, it sound good for you since you will get a job very soon. I guess!! Anyway, on August/9/2008 seem to be wonderful day. I travelled with my granny in Bangkok from 9:00AM until 4:00PM. I entreated her to come and go with me. I walked from Sanlukmung, Wat Pra Kaew, China town-Yoeuvalat and saw the traditional life of Thai people in each section. Usually, I would rather to see something like this. Almost places that I went today were Thai and China temples. These areas combined between two harmony cultures. Without norm I didn't know trace or development of forebear, so I am pround to be Thai right now. Bye..Bye..
Hi Kiran! I´m glad to know you did well on your interview :-). I hope you get the job. Best wishes, Ana Paula.

Hi Kiran, How are you doing? Better now after the stress of the job interview? Wow, I got nervous just to read your narrative of it. These things drive me crazy. I didn't take part in many job interviews along my life. I guess I always avoided it. It prevented me from getting better jobs too. I hope you get the position. It seems like you worked hard for it. It's very nice talking to you. See you Good bye.
Hi, How are you. I am expecting for your next post. It seems that you will have to add more points in the map, as there are new commenters. Sometimes we forget that in many places there is not electricity that is so common and necessary for us.
hi kiran,how are you.i think getting an interview is an experience itself if you pass or not.it was a right idea of you to not wasting food which others donot ever see.
Keep writing, I like your article
Hi Kiran I like Nepal, I like the map with your friends I like your blog -:) Stef
Hello Kiran, I have read your report about the interview day and I could feel with you. I really hope you have passed the exam. If no, it was a great experience and will help you for the next exam. Have a nice week, Felicitas
well, I have to say that this is my first comment that I make, and I don't know if will be right, it seems so interesting the idea of to can express what is happening in our lives, and at the same time to practice our English, thanks for this great Idea. On the other hand, of all the history that I was reading, I was not able to understand all, but I hope that she got the job, well that I understood she was looking for a job, and for that I went to the interview. Greetings for all
Hi Kiran I hope you will get the job. When will you be informed about the results? I know very well what you feel while waiting. After getting the job you will forget everything.I've met many times the situation like that. While waiting I say to myself " think the worst one." It is good way to be relax. By the way Where have you been? I hope everything goes well for you. In addition that, taking leftover with us is not common in Turkiye. I think It is a good idea.If you leave on your plate They will be throw away. We have some habits we continue without thinking.We know It isn't true. We can't spent any effort to change it.We think but We avoid doing it.Why? It can be done in Turkiye If you know the people who run the restaurants. I am looking forward your writings.:))love.
Hi Krian, It is the first time i join this blog on BBC and i am really interested in your preparation before the interview. Congratulation you on finishing the exam successfully, i thought. Hope you have a good job. i also think that it is important for us to using English well in our Job, it makes us have a high salary and key position in the company. Cheers
Hi kiran, Thanks for remind me this ""I don’t like to waste food. While throwing food we should remember people who are fighting for the food "". I am sure When I throw the food next time your sentences will stop me.
Some job interviews are quite interesting, from which you can learn and experience a lot even in such a few minutes. You were confident during your job interview as you wrote. I believe that you can get the offer soon. Recently I had lots of job interviews for I just graduated from university in June. And I guess I could write a book about all the interviews if I had time. Have a nice weekend and wish you good luck
Hi Kiran, thanks to share your experience of interview day with bloggers. Good tips on having food on interview day. I hope very soon you will get a call for new job.
