I finished my first day of hour-long interviews at Unis in hoping to headhunt and secure a new young IT trained person to assume the role of the vacant IT Technician position. The interviews went from 8:30 am all the way to 5:30 pm with two short breaks for a lunch and a meeting with senior level management.
The first few morning interviews were really good with the Vietnamese candidates who can understand my level of English, (Phil / Andy - no jokes here!!) tell me a joke, say the word "cool" and of course can complete the IT technical test that I had waiting for them.
There are three Interviews:
- Meeting with myself to screen out the level of listening & speaking, pronunciation and vocabulary, and hopefully the honesty behind their answers and their resumes.
- Technical interview with two computers. One is the server and one is the client. Their job is to configure network connectivity between the two and detailed configurations that non-technical people do not know how to do. Creating a group of usernames on the server and testing one of those usernames on the client was worth many marks in this interview.
- Meeting with myself and the head of the school to determine who would be offered the position in this brutal and grueling interview process.
A special note to this blog was that the last candidate who I interviewed at 4:30 pm last night was the bigger loser and cheater I ever met! During his technical interview, I was in my office and I heard some voices coming from outside the room where the candidate was finishing up his examination. I took a peek around the corner trying not to be noticed and saw that he was talking on his mobifone asking questions in Vietnamese and then clicking on the mouse in a fast fashion as if he understood the answers from his mobifone conversation.
I am sorry to say that this person will not have any jobs working at Unis... ;)
