About A Tough Job Interview
I remember two tough job interviews from my life. Both of them were organized by recruiting agencies. So I was interviewed by recruitment professionals.
The first interview, I came without preparation. It was position a support speсialist in an international company. They wanted someone who can make sql requests and use Visual Basic. I can do it, but when interviewer asked if I want be a programmer, I said no. It was an honest answer, because I tried to create programms, I mean real programms, not just requests or macros, something that programmers on my previous work did, but I couldn't :(. My brains works in another way. I think I failed on that question, although I knew they didn't need a high quality programmer. So in my opinion, I could answer Yes in that question. Because it wasn't the question about my skills, it was just question about my wishes.
The second interview, I came full-prepared. I researched the company, I examined the person specification and knew how I will discuss about them, I was prepared for standart questions like why you are the right person for this job and what your main strengths and weaknesses are. If you ask me, I failed in that interview too, because I spoke more than it was needed, but my interviewers decided that I was a right person and I got that position.

About A Tough Job Interview
I remember two tough job interviews from in my life. Both of them were organized by recruiting agencies, so I was interviewed by recruitment professionals.The first interview, I came without preparation. It was position a support speсialist position in an international company. They wanted someone who can could make sql requests and use Visual Basic. I can am able to do these/can do these do it, but when the interviewer asked if I want wanted to be a programmer, I said no. It was an honest answer, because I had already tried to create programms (watch spelling: programs), I mean real programms, not just requests or macros, something that programmers on my previous work did, but I couldn't :(. My brains works in another a different way. I think I failed on that question, although even though I knew they didn't need a high quality programmer. So in my opinion, I could have answered "Yes" in that question. Bbecause it wasn't the a question about my skills, but rather, it was just a question about my wishes.
In Tthe second interview, I came full-prepared. I researched the company, I examined the personal specifications and knew how I will would discuss about them, I was prepared for standartd (typo?) questions like why you are the right person for this job and what are your main strengths and weaknesses are. If you ask me, I failed in that interview too, because I spoke more than it was needed, but my interviewers decided that I was a in fact the right person and I got that position.

Yes, it is. Certainly, I like it because I have opportunity to learn something new almost every day - the job permanently demands new knowledge:)

Thank you:) Due to your correction I've found out how to use " but rather", that the brain can be only one :) at one person (in Russian we can use this word in plural too:)) and much more
