Then we agreed on making the first phone call on 30/11 @ 1:30 pm PST .. and she told me that will be a non technical call (drdasha) and it'll last 15 minutes.WOW that's very exciting :D i'm gonna make interview with Google on the phone.Ohh, i'm very bad in English conversation (rbna yostor)
Now it's : 11:30 pm at Cairo and 1:30 pm PST, i'm waiting the phone call ..
11:35 pm .. still waiting .. checked my inbox, i found email from her telling me that she can't contact me because there is an extra digit on my phone number, i sent her my phone number again then she could call me.
I was very nervous it's my first time to have a phone interview ... and it's in English :-s
she introduced her self again (i didn't hear a word)
she was a very fast talker,american .. and american accent is very hard.
She asked me about the position i want to have in Google and my eligibility to work in US.
she told me many things But i didn't understand a word :D then she asked me why didn't I work till now!!
I told her about the ACM and that i'm not going to have work until returning from the World Finals @ 10/2/2009 inShaaAllah.. she said that it's okay
On that phone call ... i asked her to repeat many times ... i think if i was in front of her she would kick me (and i think she was saying in her mind .. what is that %%#$ :D )
i made her to ask me one question 5 times :D the fifth was " Are .......... You ....... Eligible ........ To ...... Work .......... in .......... US. " (word by word)
One of the situations i had in this interview that i told her "sorry i think it's hard to communicate with me" then she said "No, it's not difficult at all,it's fine ... mmmmm... it's little bit difficult but we will go through that :D" she was very funny Or that was me because of not understanding her easily.
At the end of this call she asked me to tell her my available time for the technical interviews, i told her that i'll check my schedule and send her email with my available times.
So we ended the call, i checked my schedule.. then i sent that "I'll be available on Tuesday 8/12 ,Wednesday 9/12 and Thursday 10/12 at any time between 10:00 AM PST and 1:00 PM PST "
----------------------------------------
Today is 2/12, i found her reply.. she was telling me that my interviews will be on 8/12 & 10/12 at 11:00 AM PST
After an hour ... i found another email from software eng. working at Google he was telling me that he will interview me after 15 minutes and that he added me on Google wave and shared with me a document on Google docs. for the interview
... Kidding me -- absolutely this is a mistake, so i neglected this email and i went to buy somethings
after 15 minutes, i found my mobile ringing.. it's him. - what to do ? what to do ?
i decided not to reply :D he called me about 3 times then when i returned back to home (after 10 minutes of these calls) i was online on the Google Wave and i found 2 messages from him.
"Hi Mohammad, looks like you can see the Wave :)I'll give you a call in a couple minutes, just going to grab a coffee.I'll give you a call in a couple minutes, just going to grab a coffee."
"Just tried calling... no answer.Do I have the right number?"
so i sent him and explained to him that my interview should be the next week, he apologized for that and told me that he will speak with the recruiter and i can assume that what she told me is correct.
To be cont.
