Don't envy me for the delicious food nor the beautiful world scenaries, but the good time with my family and friends.

Phone Interview with IBM OZ
Last Monday I received an email from IBM OZ about having a phone interview today. It says Jo Rabnott would call me at 10am HKT. She called me at ~10.15am. Her English was clear, so my worries about the accents were rather unnecessary. My English today is okay, much more fluent than yesterday afternoon. She was very very polite, which made me a little bit confused about what I should answer...
J: Hi, this is Job Rabnott. [obmitted] How are you?
A: I am fine. Thanks. And how are you?
J: Thank you for your time for answering my questions. (then she paused, expecting my response)
A: Thank you for your time for interviewing me(??).
J: If you can hear me clearly?
A: I'm sorry, but your voice is a little bit too soft. Could you speak a little bit louder?
J: But I can hear you clearly. Is it better now?
A: (Actually there wasn't any difference, but I just wonder what else she could do with the telephone connection.) It's all right.
She said the interview will be short, that she simply wants to ask me a few quick questions. In fact, I have prepared 4-5 pages of Q & A over last sunday and monday. Finally they didn't turn out to be of much help. And the interview ended like follows:
J: I am sorry to inform you that if you have no real working experience, we are unable to proceed with our interview, because this position is not for fresh graduates.
A: (Don't you notice that from my CV?!) So should I apply for fresh graduate positions?
J: Yes, you may just click on the web site and look for fresh graduate positions. I'm sorry. Good luck! Bye.
