Nostalgia 5: Interview Stress

Before the 4th week end, our teacher asssigned us to interview an operational manager and a tactical manager that work in the same company. Of course, we were grouped. Our group interviewed a friend of my father and so on. My friend and I learned a lot of things from them and how it tiring and stressing it is to be one of those two. Well, to be one, you have to be mentally prepared.

So...At the dreaded day of our interview that had been moved to wednesday since typhoon frank swept as with a great disaster last monday.

Sir Oli gave us some small papers and told us to write our number and names I think...So when all our finished, he let Jet draw a paper...and yes, Sir Oli's wish was granted, they were the first group to report...As for us, lucky as always :D

So after the report, Sir Oli asked a few questions (actually, a lot of questions) The question I think I still remebered is the most important tangible thing in an organization...and after many failed attempts, the answer was organizational structure. The other questions was about what are the roles of a tactical and operational manager and what units do they control. The answer are kinda long so I'll skip this part :D But I know it has soemthing to do with the 9 managements...And then, based what they have reported and what we have interviewed, tactical managers are responsible in stratigical planning or long-term planning, while operational are repsonsible for operational planning that ic considered to be daily.

After them, we were lucky again since we were not called and somebody even volunteered - Ivan together with Decee and Chester...They interviewed one of Sir Oli's old student that right now has his own company. Althoguh there was no time for question and answer portion, I think they reported well and we were once again saved!!! That's all- end of blog!
