Did I just say first? Yes! I had my first real interview today. By **real**, I mean sitting down one on one with two or more interviewers. 

I've had series of interviews in the past, but, I don't call them interviews. I couldn't find a name for them either. All the interviews involved talking to the employer on phone (phone interview, perhaps), an online interview where I had to answer some questionnaires, and  situations where I had to showcase my talent by designing something or dropping some lines of codes before getting the job.

I've never worked full-time. 

I've always wanted to work in a particular firm, after writing their aptitude test  last week, I was finally called for an interview yesterday. Initially, it was scheduled till next week Tuesday I thought I had lots of time to prepare. 

The joy of getting the interview hadn't subdued when I was called back to inquire if I could make it today. After responding yes, just then, I realised what I've done. The time was short and I'm not familiar with interview questions. I needed to prepare, then, I kicked off. 

Trust me, I couldn't read anything. The interview questions I saw online were much and I couldn't pin all together in a short time. I guess it's my fault, I had lots of time to prepare for it after the aptitude test. 

I slept off and I was hopeful. 

Fast forward to the interview session.

<sub>I took this before the interview</sub>

Two lovely people sat down before me and they were smiling. 

I smiled back, looking bold. They'd thought I was firm but I wasn't. Back in my mind, I was thinking of what they could ask me. 

The first question was simple and straight forward. At a point, I was thinking if the interview has started. 

They saw me filling my secondary school result in a form. And they asked how it was. The second question was;

>In your CV, you said you are programmer. What languages do you code and what are you working on? 

Then, the steemit story began. 

I'm working on a project and it involves steemit and a community I belong in. There was no way I could describe the project without mentioning Steemit. Just then, they were eager to know what Steemit is all about. 

After my explanations, they were surprised. A platform where you can earn from posting contents really awed them.  If I was told I would be describing steemit in an interview, I would have argued. 

Other questions were analytical. The questions were asked based on situations, they wanted to know what I would do when I find myself in such situations. 

The interview lasted for more than 40 minutes and I hope I did well. 

Perhaps my next #ulog post will be good news.

Until then...

They didn't call me back for further questioning. Rather, they asked me all what they need to know right there.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is beautiful, this is also the whole idea about the Steemjet community, to teach and circulate cryptos to the ends of the end. 
Well done brother, and congratulations in advance.
