I have a second interview
with a V-P and a manager.
My recruiter told me
I’m the only person being considered.
I told him
that’s bull shit
(in more politically correct terms).
If it was a meeting with the V-P,
maybe.
Some V-P’s like to
put their seal of approval on
new hires.
But the only reason
to meet with another manager
is because there are multiple candidates.
And that the hiring decision
is not being led by
the reporting manager
makes me suspect
that HIS leading candidate
has some sort of personal relationship
to him.
He gives the responsibility to his buddies
and his other buddy gets hired.
That means I’m fucked.
If I wow these decision makers,
I get the job
but my reporting manager will be pissed
and will be gunning for me
(proving that he was right).
If I don’t wow the decision makers,
I don’t get the job.
I’ll wow with the best of my ability
because that’s how I play
and hope for the best.
