Just trying to stfu and do the best I can and not make any mistakes or chat too much (already did both...)
Thank you all for your well wishes.. this hasn't been an easy path and I am not on solid footing but it's progress. Cheers  |
skills could be taught and learnt. But seldom would you see basic courtesy being showed by a candidate that we interviewed. Personally, I would be in the same decision with your boss. Any candidate that could converse well, conduct themselves appropriately and even answering appropriately is an eye catcher to me on the first impression. Skills, second. I would always start my conversation by greeting candidate "How do you do?" and see how they would respond to my greeting.
Courtesy is a long lifetime learning proces, which sometimes even we failed to show it.
