Interview

I had a phone interview with Abacus Federal Saving Bank about two weeks ago. When the HRD employer asked me about my status in the America, I told them that I only have green card and I would like to work full time. She told me that she would call me back to schedule an interview for me. I thought I am not qualified because I only have green card. But she called me back yesterday and wanted me to have interview this morning.

I went to the bank this morning pretty early. First of all, a lady asked me to fill out a form as the most company does, and then she asked me to type a letter and do the Excel as soon as possible. When I opened the Excel software, I got a shock because it is 2003 version. I only know the 2007 version. I told them about it, then a lady gave me a hind to find those icons, I have done it pretty well.

I waited for the lady to interview me like an hour. She asked me lot questions about my job and my life. She looks really nice and very professional. I hope one day I can be a lady like her. She also asked me about this bank. I think I did really terrible because I didn’t prepare for it. I didn’t know anything about this bank except I know this bank provides banking service to immigrant and local resident mostly.

Actually I did research about this bank yesterday. But I couldn’t remember the creator’s name and when it was found. Only thing I remember was that a lady committed a fraud many years ago which had ruin the bank’s reputation. Lot of clients waited for a long line to take back their saving. However, the creator was really smart and handled this problem pretty well. I wanted to talk about more about this bank to the lady who interviews me. However, I was too shy to talk more. And I was not sure if I said too much to the position.

Anyway, the interview was over. They are going to contact me in a week if they are going to hire me. I pray to God. Please let me in. when I read the article about Abacus’s creator, I was moved because his goal is to provide service to our community and immigrant. It will be so cool if I can do this kind of job. I will be proud of myself by helping our “family” to get their loan and helping them to have better life.

I had learn a lot about interview skill. The very important one is that I have to be prepared before interviewing.
