Interview with Mike~

Well, meeting this "Mr. Mike" was not so hard.  He arrived there like 12:00PM and text me, "I am just parking my car", and our meeting is suppose be at 1:00PM......I text back, " I will be there in several min" after that full speed on my scooter.

He is very easy going and younger than I thought around 30+ max 35 already a company director (something is wrong about this world or he is another outcome man) , and we talked a lots, I have learned something new about New Zealand.

First thing....in New Zealand resume is suppose be 3 pages to 5 pages. That is shocking news to me, I have tried so hard to keep the resume in 1 page. Cuz from what I learned and know, it is better to be as short as  possible.   If I knew this, I would have made 5 pages resume, I didn't know people like to read so much here. (not sure why he talked about my resume and give me some advises to improve it in term of Kiwi ways , either he like me a lot or he think I suck to the bone.....can't even write a good resume....sgin~)

2nd thing I learned is, maybe the name "Ta Ko" is not the best idea to use, he said Roger Ko sound better to him. I am not sure about this name things, I am proud to be call TAKO, because my parent name me that way.  However, his reasons is that although Kiwi people are not racist and New Zealand do have very high percentage of  foreigner as well. However, there are some cases people do tend to choose you because of your name. (I was thinking I should change my English's name into Jesus, that way people have good reason to worship me)

We talked a lots about possible development as Researcher. We also spend like 5 mins to talk about  Teakwondo ( not sure why is this related but he is asking about it). He just dig into it...till he realize we talked too much about it.  

During the talking, he have yawn about 6+ times, I panic a bit and thinking : Am I that bad?.... finally he apologize that it is because his 2 years son punched and waked him up yesterday around 2 AM, and after that he didn't get a good sleep.

I could have prepare more for this interview , but there are 2 questions that I was not ready for...well, maybe only one. The 1st question " what are your strength?" Yes very common question during interview, and I have prepared  for it. I said " bla bla bla~ and bla bla bla plz worship me"  (that is not really what I said) right after I answer the question,  he asked again, anything else? ....I was that o~k~ if that is not enough I have "bla ~bla ~bla~ and bla bla bla~ I am God and you want to hire me" (again that is not what I said, but maybe how I appear to be). Than,....he asked the same thing again....I want blank in my mind  for like 2 secs (that is not good), and answered, "well, I am a funny guy~ and I am not sure if that is a strength", and we both laugh about it.  Honestly,  I think he is pulling some tricks on me or just finish watched "due where is my car" movie......anyway~ he have stop asking my strength

"What is your dream job"? he asked....I didn't prepare for this one, first thing in my head is " My dream job will be owning the company that print money and I can print money for free" but I answered " My dream job is doing what I love to do, such  as helping people, contribute so society, bla bla bla~ (and add) of course, a good salary level as well." not sure if this one went well~ XD

He took note of what I said during the whole section, and he have Roland's hand writing. It require me to have extra wisdom to read them....so I am not sure what he wrote about me.

In the end, he said he will need to talk to some one in charge of HR. And if HR dept. approved, we will meet again.  How long will that take? I asked, he said he is not sure, but he add on this " if I recommend you, your chances are high." (I fly  to heaven for while after hear that till I realize, wait~ he didn't said he will, he said "IF")  than I have my WTF moment for several sec.  

The whole thing started around 12:30PM ended at 1:34 PM so there is a good 1 hour talking. We shake hands, and smile. He leaves~  I called Wife to tell her about it. The end.  Now pray for me, that I got the 3rd one. cuz my name is Jesus from now on~
