I just feel like documenting this down for some reasons. Perhaps this is something I never done before, attending interviews in the foreign land. Whether I get the job eventually or not, I take every interview experience as myself going to explore a new place. And the destination today is Abingdon! And yet on my birthday!
When the recruiter called me for an interview, he asked whether I have a driving licence. He told me that Abingdon is hopeless for public transport. Hmm. Now I am sitting in McDonald near Abingdon Business Park. I think it is not that bad really. I have to first take train from Reading to Oxford, then take x13 bus to Stratton Way bus stop, and then walk about 20 minutes to the business park. A good exercise though.
The fact is I have arrived 3 hours earlier before the interview. The reason is simple. I am not that good in direction especially when it comes to a place that has no direct public transport to take me to the destination. Some may laugh at me, but this is how things should be. If I am not familiar with the place, best to arrive early and try to locate for a place, then find a waiting place to fill in the gap time. As for preparation, I bring two pairs of shoes with me. One is my heels and another one is my walking shoes. Lol. Of course, I always have my laptop with me, so I can working on stuff ie scheduling my plans, offline blogging, blasting music and drowning into Chekie’s world, or watching movie…lol.
The funny thing was there was a lady I believed she was here for an interview and thought I am the interviewer.
