Power

The 1st: Phone interview
The 2nd: Technical and HR interview
The 3rd: Intention interview.

This guy reeks of power. His posture his questions all screams of someone who've been in control his all life. The stern face showing that nothing impresses him. The calculating eyes, evaluating how long you can stick with it, how much revenu you can generate and what you are hiding behind each words.

There's no hiding from this guy. A glimpse of my past job, he see that I am an ambitious person slowy working up to my goal… and fast. Not someone who can't decide what he want to do with his life. The answer that he want to find is: how far do I want to rise and what is my end goal?

For 30 minutes we danced around that issue. Him testing from different questions me parrying with different answers. Finally I decided to take the lead and ask him if that's one of his concerns. He's not here to interview me, he's not here to see if I have the good background or attitude. The ones before him took care of that already. He's main concern, since he's the boss, is how much return can I generate for him. That answer is a simple equation:
revenu = time worked – training time*x;
His job, was to find out how long I am willing to work for him.
From this concern, I can say that this is a very high stress job. Probablly dealing primarilly with US engineers that have a high ego… very high probablly. They'll probablly be very demanding and talk down to us all the time…

I can handle it. I mean, c'mon I handled calls from prisoners and all sort of weirdos at the Relay service. To face egoistic biatchs, you first need to nullify your own.
