I was very happy with it-even with the lack of sleep. So with a scant two hours of sleep, I went into my interview. If my lack of sleep screwed up this interview-I didn’t know what that would do to the relationship. Īfter that 10 second conversation, I was never able to fall back asleep. RING! RING! Tai: Hello?! Jen: Oh my God! You’re sleeping and you have an interview tomorrow. The night before the interview was particularly bad. Felix, to his credit, even called the HR guy mid-week to chat them up about me. In a nutshell, I applied Monday, received a call from the HR representative Tuesday, interviewed on Friday, and received and accepted an offer to work Friday afternoon. Take look at their website, you can apply there. I’m thinking, “They called you and they didn’t call me?! ARGHH!” I was frustrated.įelix: Really? I thought for sure they would call you. He went on to talk about his final round interview with CIBC I didn’t even get passed the first rounds.įelix:Hey, did Onx.com call you? Tai: No, why? Tai: Cool.įortunately this conversation was over Yahoo! Instant Messaging he couldn’t see my envy. Tai:Congrats man! When do you start? Felix: I started today actually. Tai: Really? Well, I guess I won’t be applying to them…HA HA, since you just got the position I had in mind. Felix: Really? I just started working in Markham, at a place called OpenCola. The conversation went along the lines of the following:įelix: Hey Tai, how’s it going? Tai: Not too bad, looking for a job, but I found this sweet position in Markham. They were located in Markham, and seemed to be an ideal position for me.Īnyways, right before I submitted my resumé to OpenCola, Felix and I were chatting. In my final visit to Critical Path, my co-worker Peter Rogers (one of the funniest people I have ever had the honor of working with), had mentioned a UI design opening at a company called OpenCola. Usability), and about the same working experience. He and I have similar qualificaitons (he’s more skewed to UI design, while I specialise in UI analysis and I had been been working on small contracts, he had been working with a new start-up. My friend Felix (we worked together at Critical Path) and I had been unemployed for about the same time.

I think it’s a pretty funny story about how I got the job. I’m working there as a Usabililty Specialist. You’ve probably seen their sign, on the building near the Leitch building while travelling on HWY.

Well, I’m not sure if you have all heard, but I recently started a new full-time job with OnX Enterprise Solutions.
