    Close Fight

    For the first time, I applied for a higher position ('L2' or Senior Technical Engineer) due to my Team Manager and Quality Coordinator's insistence.  Not really wanting the position (I could not envision myself as one), I did not review when it was rest days came.  Everything I know is stocked knowledge from the day-to-day support that I do.
     
    Realizing that I do not want to shame myself by getting the lowest score (if I flunk), on the day of the exam, I browsed through our CQT and the technical updates (sent via email).  I must say, the exam was quite challenging.  Some questions were really difficult and I expected that I would not pass.  I came home with a heavy heart since I will not get enough sleep because of the exam I took earlier. 
     
    To my surprise, I did pass the exam as our Account Manager sent an email that I will be interviewed the following day.  I could not hide my apprehension.  Through out the night, I asked some of my colleagues about it.  They advised that I should let myself be interviewed.
     
    I felt that I was on a hot seat.  I appeared unsure about my answers.  Anyway, I tried my best.  I realized that my answered was not for the issue resolution but of the processes and the quality. 
    Now that got me thinking.  This post is really not for me.  And I conditioned myself not to expect that much.  Again, I could not see myself and do not want to be an L2. 
     
    Our Account Manager gave me a heartening feedback and said that that is was indeed a very close fight.  To my luck, I did not get the position.  Yipee!!
