# Two telephone interviews
Personal @ 19 February 2007
So I have had two telephone interviews (two different companies) for graduate jobs today:
- At 11am, lasted about 40 minutes… was mostly a “competency interview”style conversation. It went really well. At the end of the telephone interview, she said that I had succeeded - I am very pleased because this company is a really good company that have interests similar to mine. I am through to the next stage where I will have to pass online verbal reasoning and numeracy tests. If I pass the next stage then I will have to go through an in-person interview and give a presentation on my final year project.
- At 2pm, lasted about 25 minutes… this was partially a”competency interview” and partially a personality interview. It didn’t go as well as my the one at 11am, but it was ok. She did not say whether I had succeeded or not, she did say that she will finish off the notes and then make a decision. If I do succeed, then like the other company I will also have to do online verbal reasoning and numeracy tests. I hope I do, so I can undertake yet more tests (of which I have done before in the graduate assessment centre that I went to a few weeks ago). I was feeling quite tired in this interview, hopefully that didn’t have too much of an effect.
Either company would be good to work for, I have applied for a few more companies, but haven’t heard anything from them. I am also in contact with another company, dealing with something else at the moment, but it would be pretty good to work for them too.
Wish me luck for my graduate job hunt.
(And of course, I will keep my Vanir Systems project going in the background no-matter where I am working/studying/living next)
Ciao for now
