Preparation time
I am, again, preparing for the interview. This time, it is for the face-to-face session with the company.
A variety of people will be present, I guess about 10 people. First, I will have a discussion with the Managing Director, with the HR person, and their external client. The one, whose account I would have to handle.
The position in question apparently requires a lot of presentations to different external groups. Something that I enjoy tremendously, and that I actually missed in my current job. Wow, it really gets better. So in order to estimate my capabilities better, I am required to prepare a presentation of about 15 minutes. This should be easy, and all I need to do is to maintain my inner calm, understand the audience, and breeze through my material.
It is completed already - I have done it over the weekend.
Following the presentation, there will be a discussion with the existing team. Naturally, they want to size me up, understand where I am coming from and what I can contribute. Basically, can they understand my German accent or not. This is also important for me. I need to get a feeling for them, and have to see, how I get along with them.
If all goes well - the presentation, client likes me, the team gets along with me - well, I have the job.
