Hi taikos.. *raise hand*
ill need to have a meeting with dunno who and who before confirmation of my application. The process takes about 2 weeks to a month. (much longer time)

Anyway, I might be worried too much but do you think I still stand a chance of getting the job? As what my frens said, my chance of securing the job is much much higher as I made it to the second interview after all. What say you?

congrats

i suggest you keep looking for job,it is impossible you wait for their reply for two weeks. if two weeks no reply then you are good to move on, if you wait for them and stop looking for job, you will wasted two weeks.
i think the DM last three question is the most important and job related, i can see that the work stress is higher, if work stress higher then working environment is not better also. then reason to apply is mostly will ask by all company hiring manager.

Hi taikos.. *raise hand*

I've been invited to an interview by a company. The first interview went quite well and I can see the interviewer likes me very much. He has also said that if I were hired then he'd be my supervisor. However, I still need to have an interview with the department manager before I could secure the job. So he said he will forward my documents and resumes to the department manager and if the DM wants to have an interview with me, the HR will contact me. *The interview lasted for 45 minutes FYI*

*5 hrs after the interview ended* and the HR called me to have an interview with the DM.

So I had my second interview session conducted by the DM this time few hours ago. These were the questions being asked by the DM.

*Intro yourself
*Tell me about your family members - where they are working, how much is their pay
*Tell me your hobbies
*Tell me what is the most exciting moment in your university life
*Tell me what is the most depressed moment in your university life
*Tell me why the reason why you have applied for job in our company
*Do you know how is the working environment here?

Ok so those are the questions. However, none of the questions discussed about the job position that I applied. Other than those questions, we chit chat about other non-relevant stuff.

The interview lasted for 30 mins and all I felt was the DM was trying to 敷衍 me.. sweat.gif

According to the first interviewer (supervisor), if I pass thru the DM and If I were selected, my application would still need to be processed by the HR department but however, the process wouldn't be taking too long (in around a week). BUT

According to the DM, he still need to have a meeting with dunno who and who before confirmation of my application. The process takes about 2 weeks to a month. (much longer time)

Anyway, I might be worried too much but do you think I still stand a chance of getting the job? As what my frens said, my chance of securing the job is much much higher as I made it to the second interview after all. What say you?

It's ok to be hopeful. And by the way u presented it, seems quit fair to say that you have almost secured a job.
However, still look for jobs elsewhere just in case they found a better candidate after you and decided that they want him over you.
We'll be waiting for your good news. thumbup.gif

Yes, the work stress is quite high for that position but i'm ready for the challenges becoz i really like the job tho.. well, just pray and wait for them and i will oso search for other jobs at the same time.. the last scenario that i want it to be is I only get offered after i'm confirmed by other company which I like lesser.. sweat.gif

The don't know who will be the DM's boss, the process is long because the boss always busy with his golf and holidays. Hard to make an appointment with him.

Just go with the flow since already done and good luck.

I think your chances looks good, unless screw-up from HR side on the headcount, package, etc.
Or unless the dept manager still need to get approval from higher up.

Dept manager will oversee Supervisor, who will oversee you. What he wants to know is, your attitude, the way you present yourself, etc. whether you can fit into the team and dept or not.
He won't care much about the technical aspect or work knowledge/skill much, because that will be handled by the Supervisor, which already interview you.

Oversee meaning? Anyway, from what I heard from the supervisor there are few vacancies available for that position so I'll just wait for a week and see how it goes.. wink.gif
