Next week, I will have 3 interviews with foreign colleagues and manager.
\nI plan to move to business unit which is developing network equipment for service providers mainly.<\/p>\n
I’m now senior support engineer in support division in Japan, and sometimes we need to involve development team\/division to solve the issues and fix the defects.<\/p>\n
Development division has a role named deployment\/escalation engineer who is responsible to handle internal escalations.<\/p>\n
It’s a internal escalation, but those issues will be complicated and critical, since easy cases can be handled by support division by themselves.<\/p>\n
Actually, I believe I have enough skills and knowledge to join the escalation team.
\nNow I working with them to handle the internal escalations from global engineers, and my performance is pretty good actually comparing with other project members.<\/p>\n
One of the escalation engineer contacted me and asked if I’m interested in the position will open in Japan. At that time, I already started to communicate with hiring manager, so I just told them about it. He said I’m already at level of escalation engineer and good to have me in his team.<\/p>\n
Anyways, I need to prepare 3 interviews.
\nIt looks like a formal process of hiring, and engineer in Spain, Canada, and manager in Texas will be interviewer.<\/p>\n
Spanish is a typical engineer. I listened his session in the past, and his English is relatively easy to understand, but he will ask technical questions a lot.<\/p>\n
Canadian is more senior engineer, but he is sometimes sloppy, and not so strict person. But his pronunciation is a bit tricky to me.<\/p>\n
Manager in Texas is new to me, so I don’t know his personality and English.<\/p>\n
Since this is a kind of internal movement from division to division, I can show my capability relatively easy. But for interview, I’m not sure how I can prepare.
\nIf the main topic is technical stuff, the range is really broad. I need to just show my current expertise to them.<\/p>\n
But if the question is regarding my thought and concept of values, I may be able to prepare. I think I should prepare those kind of questions at lease…<\/p>\n
The story of this blog post is not consistent, and I know that.
\nI just wrote my thought which is popped up.
\nI’m not so nervous, but somewhat nervous.<\/p>\n
I have great current job\/role and it will not be lost if my interviews failed.
\nBut I’d like to challenge new role in new environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
