Google phone interview tomorrow
Curse of procrastination bit me hard. I scheduled phone interview with google few weeks ago. It’s tomorrow. Need to check email marked as unread to know what time but I wouldn’t have scheduled before 10AM or after 2PM PST I haven’t sent the resume as asked because I never updated it in 4 years and because I can always do it tomorrow. I didn’t RSVP to the interview yet because of course, I’m an idiot who’d like to send resume first. I could have at least sent names of current google employees I know but I’m stupid too, so I didn’t. All signs indicate I’m a candidate no employer wants. I think otherwise though. So do my colleagues and my current and most managers. Although I have considered in past, but I’m ruling out the possibility that I think too highly of myself. I’m just very good at convincing myself that it can be done tomorrow - pretty bad quality I know. But when I’m really interested in something or when my ass is on fire, I somehow become x10 organized and productive without losing my mind and can still keep my cool. 1. Is it too late already? 2. Any last moment tips? Thanks! Trolls welcome too, I promise to have good laugh. But I genuinely need advice and suggestions for tomorrow’s interview and this problem in general. Muchas Gracias!! EDIT: I don’t want to reschedule it because that’s what I did in October too! :/
Google interviews are between 2pm-5pm EST
Scared me for a bit. I checked the email. You’re right, so am I. It’s noon-ish PST
Buddy, I know exactly what you're talking about. It's almost like you described me. While I won't delve into this being a medical condition and stuff, don't do what I did earlier this week in a similar situation for a FANG interview. I just spent time on blind and sleeping and bombed the interview. You prepare yourself even if it's a short one. Quit phone now and get yourself organised and at least introspect on the work experience you've had. All the best. Once you're done tomorrow, come back here, we can discuss on plans to overcome this procrastination.
Agree. Thanks. :)
Just postpone and say you’re sick. Then get after it. Stop using dated terms like “telephonic”.
Thanks, what’s the right way? “Phone interview”?
Lol I just can’t stop laughing- very keen obs!
You got this! Talk through the problem as much as possible. Review some basics while you still can.
Thanks for the tips, they were helpful. Haven’t heard back yet but I’m hopeful.
Reschedule the interview, they shouldn’t have any problems with that
Not sure how they’ll feel since I cancelled mine in October too. A big company like that can only keep re-asking so much..
They don’t care
I rescheduled , similar situation - no problem . Just make sure Recruiter sees it first thing and follow through again early morning.
Sounds like you might have ADHD
You don't really want the job. Period.
I don’t really want the job. Correct because I’m pretty happy at MSFT (as of today) I still somewhat want the job though.
I get it. After being on Blind for a bit - it's easy to believe everyone else has it better.
Dude - if you crack it tomorrow then you will not find a reason to change but if you don’t then you will not have a reason to 🤦♂️ Just kidding, you will be fine! Procrastination is real in everyone’s life, sometimes it gets extreme other times it’s managed! Good luck 👍
Thanks, it went alright. Let’s see. :)
So now you have no reason to fix procrastination problem you were worried about 😉
What?
Hurts to know I failed to communicate even with so many words.
Zingy ;)
