I must say I wanted this job; I did not play it cool, I was worried about the outcome of this interview, and I assumed too much as my head was already thinking of a celebratory tweet. I met with the Chairman of the group (so you can imagine why those giddy tweets were piling up in my head). Not surprisingly, he hadn't even checked my CV, mistaking my current employer name for GTS (its GIZ), though he knew them quite well. For every single assertion laid plainly in my CV, he did not tire of asking it again of me, though he would later look at the CV and profess his discovery: oh yes I see you already mention it: my yrs of experience, my education background, the yrs I spent in every job, my relocation preferences, my skills, my expected salary, even my email! Though I wrote it, answered it and reaffirmed it, he kept asking why I did not want to work in Saudi Arabia, claiming I had misconceptions, that it was a great country to live in, even confiding in me that his bowels become regulated again in Saudi Arabia! All the while repeating that he was not trying to sell me the idea of living in Saudi Arabia. Though after half an hour, I now had a perfect image in my head of his digestive system and he did not learn anything new from me, I still did not grasp what exactly was my job going to be; a question he answered by a hand gesture dismissal declaring: I don't believe in job descriptions and mumbled "multi-tasking". Though I innocently assumed the subject of Saudi Arabia was well behind us, he congratulated me that my name was neutral enough to confuse the Saudis whether I would be Muslim or Christian, adding, with a wink, that he personally would label me as Jordanian or Palestinian, leaning more towards Palestinian, this time with a stare, as my family name did not begin with the famous Al- This was an interview with the Chairman of one of the biggest fairs organizers in the Entire MENA region, IFP. Though he did not absolutely learn anything from me, he strongly recommended me to his Director of Strategy, who was taken aback by seeing my figure before him in his office, and excusing himself that my CV was not available on his computer, asking me whether it was actually needed. Though I got more of a rough idea from this guy of what my job could possibly be, he transferred me to the Marketing Director, who clearly was not at all happy with his job, yet he offered me a position much lower than my expectations, in complete contradiction to what the Chairman and the Director of Strategy proposed to me, and and, drumroll, in an entirely different country! Though I did miss my barber (previous post), those 2ihour meaningless "sob7iyyet" I don't miss them at all.
