Hello Everyone! This is Krisandro and I Work for Yebber!

This is quite a surprise for everyone who is following my blog isn’t it? Most people would think that I am still into photography or the real estate or still trying to sandpaper my face to get into SIA as a cabin crew. I first got to know of an opening through Claudia who is much recognized as the Community Manager at Yebber. In fact, she was just asking casually over WLM,

“Do you know anyone who is interested in a sales/marketing position?”

“Erm…. Me?”

.

Wahahahahaa. That was the beginning of my interest in the job as I found out more about it and we subsequently set an interview date with the boss of Yebber on the following Thursday. Oh yes, that was the day I met with the talent scout as well.

No moles, no eyebags, no acne scars!

Armed with a functional resume and an OVERLY photoshopped picture, I made my way down to the office. I was pretty early and since I haven’t ate an ounce of food the whole day, I went to the nearby 7-11 to grab myself a stick of fishballs and a roll of popiah. At the foot of the building where Yebber’s office was at, I wanted to sink my teeth into my brunch when I saw a familiar face from afar. Yes, it was Claudia and beside her was non other than my future boss.

So much for brunch…

Up the building we went and into the interview room, filled up the forms and had a nice long conversation with the boss. I always liked job interviews, It’s the chance for me to create a connection with the interviewer(s). All in all, I think he liked they fact that I spent a good deal of time in the Air Force as an air traffic controller in which he was familiar with, due to a family member. He also see that I share similar interest in the web and photography like the rest of the Yebber family. In his words,

“They are all DSLR crazy!”

.

One thing probably stumped him and he asked me,

“If you have so much interest in the web and you own a blog, why haven’t you joined Yebber as a member?”

.

I can’t really recall what I answered but after thinking about it back home, I think my answer can be used to study why people like me are not joining Yebber.

Halfway through the interview, I noticed that the way he addressed me and the job was as though I had already clinched it and much to my delight, he hired me on the spot. Wooo Hoooo!!!

I look forward to my days in the Yebber team as this job is quite close to the heart of the blogging community and being such, owning a blog is more of a bonus to the company than a crippling factor. But of course I know that from now onwards, anything I say about Yebber will be thought by you guys as COMPLETE SHAMELESS BIASNESS.

YEBBER ROCKS!!!
