Memoirs of a Professional Job Hunter Part 1!!
After a few days of doing nothing and nothing and absolutely nothing i finally did something worthwhile these 2 days... I went to an interview regarding a IT product sales position and went all the way to bt. batok for it and i am quite confident the person chosen would not be me coz i ain't a sales person and i noe nuts about IT products...
Today woke up a bit late and in the end have to take a cab down to holiday inn area for another interview this time with a events company in a events co'ordinator role and i ended up toking a middle-age man wif a mustouche when the advert stated that i am told to look for 'miss' lim and well the guy seriously didn't look to be in a good mood...
He spent the whole 5 or 10 minutes pulling a long face toking into the documents i gave him and drop this million dollar question "What makes you think you are worth $1500 as stated on the application" and of coz i gave him a million dollar answer and after that the interview was over in a flash...
Since he didn't wanna look at me when i was toking i scaned his table and saw a stack of applications and there are a few more days before the whole interview ends and if he goes through all these just to find 1 person for the job i guess all he wants is someone who is available for a cheaper price...
After that i headed for lunch @ orchard before going down to BQ for some BBQ erm i meant interview... This time it is a advertising firm involved some advertising stuff...Anyway i tot it would be another of those sales related jobs and when i reached the office instead of the traditional glass door the entrance was a traditional wooden door which is similar to the door to my room...
I went in and filled in the application form and met the person i was supposed to meet and it even looks like he was the only person in the office and ya he told me the company is expending and this is actually a new office that their HQ are setting up... The interview was more like a conducted in a very casual manner and at the end of it instead of the usual go home n wait for fone call i was asked to go for an orientation tmr and after that if the 'Trainer" finds that i have the potiential then they will conduct a second interview...
I have never heard of ppl attending orientation before being hired and i was having 2nd thoughts about goin there tmr but heck care lah since i'm free and have to time to kill might as well go n check it out and i'm sure i won't be the only person there...
If you haven noticed the song has been changed and i've also added 3 more links under "Popular Blogs" hmm... dats all for now
