Sumething i must Write

suddenly this month plenty of thing that i feel worth to write.
including this one, this is good experience and worth to write and to share
(well, kalo ga ada yg baca at least this become a good note/reminder for me, my self in the future)

So, here what happened today
this afternoon, i was called by a consulting company (baca: head hunter. red) informing about interview session. Seem that she is a bit worried with this immediate request from her client, and she feel ga enaken juga ama gue karena rikuest dadakan ini, pa lagi gw lagi liburan pula.
Well, actually, this process (if i may call it process) udah berjalan 2 mingguan lah
email back and forth between me and her. email die sih udah sekitar sebulanan and gw baru merespond 2 minggu yang lalu
ga terlalu sreg dg pekerjaan yg di tawarkan, soalnya bukan within energy company, but good position.

Anyway,
she said that her client want to interview me at 6.00 PM WIB today, by phone and this person is the HR director of the company(sumthing like that)
i said OK, fine by me, i'll make my self available at 6
than she said, i am sorry for the short notice, actually for us, usually we always have 30 minute interview briefing for our candidate (which is consider as client also) before being interview by our client
and the person that going to do it from our home office in Dublin
and, now is too early in the morning there (7 hours different), so can you please spare ur time at 3 or 4 pm for this briefing?
hummm OK
someone from Dublin will call me?
yep
woow..so serious..
ok lah

and this person call me at the end
keen to brief me before interview in order me to have good and systematic interview
basically, i just need to listen
but at the end we do have good discussion, very beneficial for me.
he told me 2 things
Diana, while having an interview, i want you remember and follow this in order
S.T.A.R....yup star
start with

S for Situation
tell them briefly about your company, what is the product, how many workforce, where is the location etc

than continue with
T for Task
give them briefly about your current task, position, how long u've been in that position etc etc

than follow by
A for Action
give them just the key point of your work/task, mentioned the interesting part of ur work, your ability, your achievement

last but not least is
R for Result
metric that have result driven, achievement, just in current year, no need to be detail but have a big impact to operation etc etc

other than STAR, since this position is taking a role as leader and will work with mid and upper management, you need also show them your leadership style
what are you?
describe your style that convince them that people will motivated by you
From this conversation i know ur stile, you are natural, bubbly person and i think it a good point for working with people
what else? high energy, engaging... etc etc

that's it
die bilang, just remember this
because people tend to be talking to much and too detail,especially people who have long experience in work, too many to share to little time
so, just follow that step, it will keep you stay in the line
and i want you to practice, take your time to read again your CV, so you'll be ready


Hummmm....
gue terinspirasi
bener banged, belom ada yg mengajarkan gue ini
simple but good
head hunter2 sebelumnya juga ga pernah involve personally gini
bela belain international call just to equip me with this step
i am impresed, very impresed

and yes
at 6.00 PM i had the real interview
and it was eazy, quick and eazy

Thank you Mr. Seamus (the Dublin man) :)

next time, if any, i'll use this step again
believe me :D
