First Interview at Maersk
I don’t know if I should say that my interview was ok or not.
I did worse than I could on logic test and I had good results for personality test and I had a good Q&A part. So 2/3 of my interview went ok. And I hope that they will invite me for a second round.
First I was given a logic test. Just 12 minutes – 50 questions (you do as many as you can – only correct answers are counted). I was given the test in Turkish, which turned out to be to my disadvantage because I did not find the Turkish elaborate. It could have been prepared better. I lost some minutes with that, and when the clock is ticking so fast, it was surely a disadvantage. After the logic test, I took the personality test, this time I specifically asked the test in English. And I chose the words carefully. After these two parts, she interviewed me. Her questions were fast, detailed and direct. But also classic like ; why maersk, why finance, where will you be in 5 years, etc.. She took notes of my answers and she was very polite. Maersk HR is really very professional. Like test machines. She after then told my test scores. It was good to to get immediate feedback. Kind of an experiment. And it she was like a fortune-teller telling your future – she commented on my personality based on the test. It was close to me but well, I clicked those things so I am not surprised.
They will contact me in two weeks. Let’s see how things will turn out. If they offer me the job, I’ll accept it
The HQ is located in a nice part of Copenhagen, I wouldnoty mind going there everyday!
Then by chance I got another a job interview at an IT company called Secunia. It is sales, international account manager. It went better, I think I’d get the job offer. But I don’t know if I really want that. Let’s see..
