Please try not to guess my age but over the course of all the years applying to jobs, this by far was the simplest and less painful of them all. I applied online and soon enough, I was approached by the HR Department via phone call. It was a pleasant conversation with a young gentleman. He informed me, that based on reviewing my resume, that he would like to setup an interview with his Hiring Director. I obliged. Two days later, I sat down with a young woman, who greeted me warmly. We spoke for about 15-30 minutes. Straight-forward and to the point. The questions were typical of any interview, although we did divert from the interview and spoke about our love of Japanese food. We mutually parted ways, on a good note. She informed me that I would expect a phone call, if I would be invited for a second interview. Crossing my fingers.
