Okay, so, “goldyn chose me,” right? Sounds kinda cheesy, but lemme tell you how it all went down. It all started with me just poking around, looking for something new. Not really job hunting, more like… opportunity-curious, you know?
First thing I did was dust off my resume. It was pretty stale, full of old projects and, honestly, kinda boring. I spent a good afternoon just rewriting the whole thing, trying to make it sound, well, less like a robot wrote it. I focused on the stuff I actually enjoyed doing, not just the stuff I had to do.
Then came the “searching” part. I didn’t just blast my resume out to every opening. I tried to be a little picky. I read the job descriptions, looked at the companies, and tried to get a feel for what they were really about. Goldyn caught my eye because, honestly, the name sounded cool. Plus, the description talked about “creative problem-solving” and “collaboration,” which, you know, sounded a lot better than “must be proficient in Microsoft Office.”
So, I applied. Tailored my cover letter to actually mention some of the stuff in their description, trying to show I wasn’t just spamming everyone. It was a bit of work, but way better than just sending the same generic letter to every company.
The Interview Process
The interview process was interesting. Not gonna lie. First up was a phone screen. That’s when they call a short call to you. Pretty standard stuff. Asked me about my experience, what I was looking for, the usual. I tried to be myself, you know, not too formal, not too casual. Just… me.
- The first interviewer was really nice. It’s importent.
- Then there was a longer interview, with a couple of people from the team.
- I spent 30 minutes to do the preparation.
- We talked about my past projects, and they asked me some “what would you do if…” type questions.
- Kinda stressful, but I just took a deep breath and tried to explain my thinking process.
The key, I think, was showing I was eager to learn. I didn’t pretend to know everything, but I tried to show I was willing to figure things out. That’s what I tried to get across, anyway.
And that, my friends, is how “goldyn chose me.” No magic formula, just a bit of effort, a bit of luck, and a whole lot of being myself. Hopefully, this little rambling story helps someone out there. Go get ’em!
