Of all kinds of interviews, the one I detest most, has to be the "Phone Interview". For once, I really wish technology hadn't advanced that much.
For one, you're worried sick all day. You're too scared to sleep coz you might just miss the phone call and with my history of missing calls, I can't let go of my cellphone even for a minute.
It's amazing.. the kind of things you think of, while waiting for that dreaded call.
What if, your interviewer on the other end, puts you on the speaker phone.. and you are totally oblivious to his entire project team crowding around the phone, listening to you fumbling, trying to explain the fundamentals of Object Oriented Programing. I can just picture them, holding on to their sides, bursting into squeals of laughter ..and if that team is anything like the previous team I worked in, this topic would be the butt of all jokes for weeks to come.. over breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What if, in my frenzy to comprehend the question, forget to put on an american-like accent and instead come out with the worst possible kandu accent.. "excuse me.. i didn't get you i say..Verilogaaa..Codingaaa?" At that very instant, a reject letter would be mailed out to me.
What if, I had a girlfriend, and she chose that very moment to let me know how much she missed me by giving me a spate of missed calls. (Aww.. so sweet! but this is NOT a good time!! ).
I should perhaps be studying for the interview right now rather than worrying myself with inconsequential things. Bbye..
