Disastrous

God. The first phone interview went alright. 50 mins on the phone, I thought I almost lost it. There were couple mistakes like how I got their revenue wrong and etc. But there were also highlights. The interviewer actually stopped in the middle and made a special long remark on how good I answered one of her questions. She said my response was one of the only few excellent ones. So I guess that is a big plus.

However, right after I hang up with her and being happy and all. I got another call from a company that specializes in private equity mergers and acquisition which is something I really want to do. The guy really caught me off guard and asked me if I can do a phone interview. I said yes. His first question was "how much do you know about our company". I actually don't even remember which company it was. I only vaguly remembered that I did apply something like that. I panicked. My IE wasn't up and I couldn't leave him hanging there and I DEFINITE CANNOT make things up. So I had to just say the truth. I said that due to my recruiting schedules that I haven't done much research on the company and I apologize for it. AWKWARD. DISASTROUS.

Despite the fact that this one might be the one that I like the most, I don't count on it even a bit anymore. Even though I answered the rest very smoothly, he didn't sound as interested. He said he would forward the responses to the senior recruiter who will then make a decision whether or not to bring me in. That is wonderful. He probably put a gigantic "IDIOT" on the page. Sigh... stupid me. This is a major blow....

Anyways, I am heading off now. god fucking damn this shit...
