Case study

I was probably in hysterics when a gang of us were in front of our interviewee, the general manager of the company. Although we outnumbered him, I was hyperventilating when my eyes met his gaze as I was the spokesperson of my group. I was supposed to ask him questions! Well, can't blame for my nervous acts actually. I already knew this would happen since this was my first time experience in interviewing a top management person of a company, someone that I do not know of and so superior! (our interviewee is the son of the CEO)

When I got nervous over something, I spoke fast, very fast! (some people say I was mumbling to myself) Turned out people didn't get a word of what I was saying. Then at the very beginning, I calmed myself, by always reminding and ordering my mind to get coordinated with my body. I started to choke out the question word by word from under my lips and as slow as I could get. I thought I did put on a good show today. I successfully masked my nervousness and locked it inside my body. I tried hard to suppress it from resurfacing on my face. God bless! I got respond from him and got all questions answered. Though I did got stuck in the middle of the interview and pondered for a minute or two to get on with the next question. Thanks to my fellow colleagues that helped me out whenever I went silent by throwing him with extra questions.

Apart from that, I did feel grateful for his friendliness and helpfulness that made our jobs easier. We were so tiny and fresh looking in front of him. Shy was all I could say to describe the entire interview process. Even to make request, our lips became heavy to lift at that instant. But still, we did ask for a few snapshots as proofs of visiting in the end. On top of that, permission to make a step inside the production line were granted upon request. It did open my eyes apparently. Before we made a move, a souvenir was handled to his hand as a token of appreciation and sincerity.

I would not called this interview session as a tremendous success, however, everything had run swiftly as I wished and this would be a real-life experience that would embossed in my memory. To all my group members, well done and together let's us stride forward in this project. Happy working with you all!
