It Is A Different World Out There

Started last month and continuing to this month, I had been to several job interviews. In fact I was even offered a job today but somehow, I will still wait until next week before I accept the offer as it is the last in my preference list as the remuneration package is a bit on the low side... Anyway, I would like to talk about one of the interviews that I went to and came out feeling very annoyed with the interviewer for he was simply being snobbish and arrogant. Firstly, it was a second interview and for that I would have expected that he should have read my resume before calling me for the second interview and wasted my time. His arrogance made me feel like giving him the middle finger and ask him to fly whatever that was necessary! If he had read my resume before calling me for the second interview, he would know that I do not have the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, that I was planning to do this year anyway and I was never exposed to Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) in my previous job. That would have saved both of us valuable time and I did not have to listen to him bragging how everybody under his command is PMP and CMMI certified. What is the big deal about the certification when what I have to offered is my vast experience relevant to the job that needed someone to fill in? If others can be certified, why can't I take the courses or exams to be certified while working there? Instead he gave me some lame excuses about me not being able to cope and catch up with others if he were to take me in. That was one of the lamest excuse for somebody who hold a high position in a company to come up with... Anyway, there is a saying that says what you do to others would be done to you and I hope that guy would one day realized that he is not the greatest person just because he has all these titles behind his name! What do you think of that?
