I found about the opening through Shoplogix's careers portal and contacted Nikita Khara (HR professional) to review and screen for the job posting. She was prompt in scheduling an interview and I got an opportunity to meet Professional Services Manager and Program Manager at Shoplogix. The interview was fairly bi-directional and quite interactive. The environment was professional and the organization despite being highly competitive gives a fair opportunity to the candidates. Although I did not qualify and ball was dropped after consideration, I must say that the entire process was encouraging and learning experience was exponential. Sometimes when you want to succeed desperately you end up freezing and blowing away your chance. I just wish I was more relaxed during the interview and I might have created a fair chance for myself since I had put in so many hours researching and preparing for the interview. I have interviewed and interacted with a lot of HR professionals in the past and I must say that this by far was one of the most happy experience. If I was an HR professional, I would look upto Nikita for her professionalism and demeanor. Looks like a fun place to work at.

Start with HR with Nikita, she explained the process and how she found me from Mcmaster job fair, she also spoke to me about the mother company and how business is run, then a first round with the implementation team, then a VP interview
