Anyone who has worked around the turn of the century in the IT sector, has its little pool of stories about the oddities and the madness that prevailed at that time. My little anecdote, which I do sometimes like to spread today, comes from an interview I conducted in January 2000.
relatively fresh after graduation and dissatisfied with the overall situation, I was looking for local and professional change. It was only fitting that the emerging and equipped with abundant capital telecommunications company for which my roommate during the week working in London, urgently looking for people in the IT sector. More specifically, a system administrator.
The interview was quickly organized. I sat across from three people, the leading IT chief was a well-known consulting firm. The interview went great, we became quickly agreed that I would be a good candidate for the job. The friendly IT Consultants, Chief insisted on it, put me in person to the street and to show me in which the adjacent building worked my roommate.
In the short elevator ride down there was the following dialog:
He: Alexander, after what you have told everything that you sound like someone who guides like people who like to project power, as someone who likes ... advises.
Me: Yes, I would imagine so.
He: Then I'll give you even my business card. If you ever want to get a look in the area, log in here with me.
immediately after this little subtle Abwerbeversuch after the interview I knew that I did the thing with the system administration again should think twice. I hired a little later as a consultant. But there has not been at the company, which I frankly Sun to the heart. With their moral standards, I would not get along.
