My failed job interview

About my application for a job, I really feel upset. The first mistake I made is I was too straight. Most time I would like make things simple. In an interview, I tell what is in my mind. Although I think it is responsible to both the interviewer and me, I am not clever. I should learn how to negotiate.

Secondly I have no experience of being in an international company. I work in Chinese government which is a different system to a company. Obviously I need know how a company is operating, for ex how HR of a company works.

Thirdly, I wrongly took many things for granted. I was chosen by W company to be given a scholarship while I was in Singapore. I was very thankful and hoped that I might be offered a job after my Master studying. All of my teachers and classmates thought I could get it definitely. I was interviewed firstly for a sales position. The interviewer believed that I was one more for technology. Then there was no news for a possible job for me so I had to consider more options for myself. I suddenly was told I would be interviewed for a QC position until the last week before I left Germany. I even had no idea what QC was at that time. The interview was the biggest lesson for me. I could not recover my failure after I knew my classmate was offered and I was knocked out. I started to realize I gave some very silly answers to the interviewer in the interview.

I told my teacher about my status. They do not believe the result. They insisted I should wait for W. It is really hard to me. One side asks me to wait because my gradschool which is built by German hopes me to work for my sponsor, and my sponsor nearly has set aside me as an outsider. I got some reply from their HR in China. The reply is: please do not wait for this co. only, there are many companies you may go, our projects have not started yet, you are not one who must be offered. It is correct. What should I do after I waited so long? I thought I would reciprocate the help from my sponsor. But now I lost the chance and have thrown myself into jungle. Am I such a selfish, troublesome and cheeky man? Why did I give an interviewer such an impression? I feel very sorry to my gradschool and my teachers. I lost face of both my school and myself.

There is intercultural misunderstanding. I could not tell what a person I am! My language ability is one weakness, and the other is I lack experience. The hurried interview without preparation from my side gave me a deadly hit. It is one lesson I have to take in my growing up process. I hope I can well show myself in next job interview.
