Subject: I'm so creative and never like mediocrity

romeobanglore: I am here now...it's raining here...so no cricket

julietscity: hahahha... why did it just happen to rain?

romeobanglore: hmmm...because you are there in yahoo!

romeobanglore: change your status message!

julietscity: why?

romeobanglore: it's not good for our mood

julietscity: oh...let me see...

julietscity: hahahha...

julietscity: ok..."I die together"...

julietscity: ok...I change it now

julietscity: you also have to change

romeobanglore: I did

julietscity: ok

romeobanglore: now we both are "available" to each other!!!

julietscity: what are your thoughts or opinions after hearing these interviews????

romeobanglore: It's good to make a suggestion ... the interviewer asked for it

julietscity: No...you don't understand my question

romeobanglore: yes...about the attitude... you know, when you go for an interview, your main concern should be impressed and please the person

julietscity: you told me twice that my response to the interview question was a good answer

romeobanglore: not to teach him new things or fight with him and make him embarrassed

romeobanglore: yes...because they asked for it...and you gave the good answer...

romeobanglore: but the main thing comes after that

julietscity: they didn't ask for my answer... I asked what I wanted to know

romeobanglore: when you feel that the person does not like your suggestion, you should not press it too much

romeobanglore: he asked you how to deal with public relations

romeobanglore: just a casual question

julietscity: No...he didn't ask it

romeobanglore: you said he asked something

julietscity: He told me what he wanted and what kind of business the PR manager had to do

julietscity: it's me... asked for promotional gifts or commemorative gifts first

romeobanglore: yes...and you told your idea...that's perfectly right

julietscity: I just mentioned the gift, and then he didn't agree, saying they never did that.

romeobanglore: in an interview, it is very common to find ourselves in such situations

julietscity: what an impress to him and disagreement with him!!

romeobanglore: then we should agree with them if they insist

julietscity: but...HEY!!! This is not the point of my question

julietscity: I don't care about today's interview...

romeobanglore: then what?

romeobanglore: my idea about an interview is, you have to try and please and impress the person

julietscity: My question is...!!! Sometimes you tell me that I have a good impression or answer about the company. But still, why didn't they recruit me?

romeobanglore: be graceful, unruffled and flexible

julietscity: please the person? No way!!

romeobanglore: I told you...when you disagree with the person, you try to prove your point too hard...that they may not like

romeobanglore: please the person in the normally accepted ways...nothing out of sorts!

romeobanglore: and the other thing is... in some cases, you are too frank to the company...you should not do that

romeobanglore: you have to see whether they are ready to change... otherwise leave it

julietscity: OK... I figured it out... meaningless or correct answers are the same for me... Some people like sweet ... Some people like spicy

romeobanglore: you should not press too hard

romeobanglore: the company is not interested in all your knowledge...they are looking for someone they need

julietscity: yes... too frank to the company... Johnson said the same... but how to pretend it?

romeobanglore: generally, in interview, don't force your opinion...that's what I feel

romeobanglore: pretend that you are looking for that special kind of job the company offers you

julietscity: Sometimes they ask for something ... if the answer is ordinary ... how to show my ability to be different

romeobanglore: if it is for PR manager, you should tell them, you have been looking for the kind of job because you need a change from the other one

romeobanglore: don't try hard to show your ability...they are looking for the answers they want to hear

julietscity: hmmm... It's too difficult for me ... I'm so creative and never like mediocrity

romeobanglore: express your opinion, but not strongly

romeobanglore: if they agree, you can strongly put it

romeobanglore: yes...from all your interviews, I had the feeling that you are too frank

julietscity: you know... In most cases, they will not ask my opinion, because the job of the secretary is to follow the instructions... only this time, I have recently changed my resume of applying for public relations or marketing planning.

romeobanglore: you know I have attended interviews for non-telecom companies...and I try to convince them that I want their field

romeobanglore: that's ok...if they ask opinion, give it...but not too strong...give them a chance to think that you are flexible and company can use you

julietscity: then what happened? Did they accept you after the interviews?

romeobanglore: I got offers from many!!!

julietscity: WOW!! It must be because you have the same knowledge as telecoms...

romeobanglore: yes, they did...

julietscity: of course, they will give you more

romeobanglore: no...they wanted many things that I didn't have... I convinced them that I can learn then very fast

romeobanglore: and I convinced them that my experience is worth in all fields

julietscity: You can hide and pretend as smart as you did in the interview ... but ... how to pretend or hide your true heart is difficult for me...yes, how?

romeobanglore: you should do that...that is what you have to prepare for the interview

julietscity: hmmm... If my English is good... of course, I will do as you say... maybe now, I have found a job

romeobanglore: not just going to their websites

julietscity: To convince them to believe in your commitment to work, you need to exaggerate your self-confidence! For me... I can't promise if I can't do it, even if I have to pretend or hide during the interview, I really can't say it!

romeobanglore: no...they don't want to know how great you were in the committee...they want to know whether they can use your experience for them

romeobanglore: if you go to company websites, try to find out their policies

romeobanglore: and speak according to it

romeobanglore: not just frank... you have to tell more what you can do for them

julietscity: If I disagree with their policy, how can I pretend I agree and attend the interview?

romeobanglore: if you disagree with the policies, keep in mind...the main aim is to get a job, not to change the companies' policies

julietscity: hahaha, yes, not to change...

romeobanglore: they called you because they know what you did

romeobanglore: they want to know what you can do for them

julietscity: become a secretary... what can I do for them? Pick up the phone politely... and schedule a day for the boss with my good memory... and collect documents... um ... so?

romeobanglore: don't tell them like this...you can tell the same thing another way...like... keep things organized and scheduled...

julietscity: yes...yes...to get the first job is the aim? Never thought I would stay there for a few days ... maybe only three months... or...

romeobanglore: yes... get a job first...all the rest comes later!

romeobanglore: no one will prevent you from resigning after some time if you say a valid reason

julietscity: ok... but can we leave public relations today? Pretend to be a good person from next Monday?

romeobanglore: don't leave anything...let us take each thing when it comes...if the person calls you for a second interview, you must definitely attend it

romeobanglore: it's our trick!

julietscity: I don't want the job even the pay is higher than before...but I don't like the boss...

romeobanglore: we are not there to like the boss! we are there to get money!!!!!

julietscity: for you... Money is more important than finding a good job?

julietscity: ok...I will think of it...

romeobanglore: right now... money is important, you can search for better work when you already have a platform to stand on

julietscity: this time I will only think about money, and then there may not be a second interview...hahahha...

romeobanglore: can you wait some time? 10 minutes?

julietscity: may I leave 5 minutes to take off the contact lenses ... my eyes don't feel good...

romeobanglore: okay...hahaha...

romeobanglore: yes
