My new working journey starts tomorrow!

After going for a 4-5 interviews I finally got a job! I am kinda excited but the salary is not really what I want. Well, at least working in a banking & finance industry is better than working as customer service or sales coordinator (which I can ask for higher salary due to my past experiences.) I shall share some of my experience & complaints for the few interviews.

1. A Japanese electronic company
When I reached the company, I saw my ex colleague! I was quite surprise. Hehe! She has work there for like going 3 years so I presume the company should be good ya? The interview was ok and I thought I got quite a good chance as the HR ticked quite a high score for me. Haha! You know, I peep at her paper ma! However, no news from them... * sigh*

2. A manufacturing company
Blah blah blah... The person who interview me was in a rush for another meeting so basically not much questions were being asked and I can already sense that I'm not gonna work here. Lol.

3. Another manufacturing company
I was supposed to be interview by the manager but end up being interviewed by 2 seniors (I guess). Their interview skills are very poor -___- They can like discuss among themselves and infront of me! Example like when I'm sitting infront them, lady A can said to lady B "She know this and that... maybe can ask her to do this... blah blah...." -__________- Worse is, they are actually looking for people who has freight forwarding experience! So they got nothing much to ask as I don't have that experience. That is the reason why I hate looking for agency -_____-

4. Marubun arrow - An electronic company
The 2 interviewers for this company is damn rude that I have to name the company!! 2 freaking idiotic guy that make me sad at first but later I feel that I don't have to feel demoralized because of these 2 idiots! Here is one of the thing he said

Interviewer A: So after your O level, you didn't get into poly? Your result must be very bad.

WTF? Where got interviewer talk to the candidates in such a manner? A PAPER QUALIFICATION IS JUST A PAPER! I have met people with a GOOD CERT but when comes to work, he/she is really kayu (stupid). A person who knows how to work smart is better than those who has a good paper qualification but got nothing in the brain!

Interviewer A: You are like changing job every year. This reflect very bad on you and your resume.

Hello stupid uncle! I left my first job after working for going 2 years and I left there is because Im gonna further my studies. You idiot! After that my other 2 jobs are contract base! It is not permanent job! Stupid fellow! Please read my reason for leaving before talking!

I can only fake a smile and explain... -_- They might be trying to use tricky question to test me out but their tone is really sarcastic. Both of them have a very proud attitude. There were a few more nasty things they said but I can't be bothered to list them out. No point being angry about the past.

Someone asked what will I do if I face something bad in work. So what I will do? I will just do the same. Fake a smile and curse them when they left. Nothing is wrong with that and I am sure alot of people is doing that. That is the ugly side of the working society. Lol.

5. Foreign bank =D
I got a offer from this bank! Although the pay is much lower than what I expected and is also lower than my 2nd last job >_< but nonetheless, I think working in a bank provides more opportunities and future.

Anyway, good luck to myself =)

"WTF? Where got interview talk to the candidates in such a manner? Fucking hell, if you think I am bad wtf you call me up for an interview? Shit you!"

I just have to fake a smile and explain. I have no problem handling stress but I dont like their sarcastic tone.

John said...

SonnyKazu said...

smack their face when they asked you their sarcastic questions... :P

Kristin said...

John - Who can stand those sarcasm? Not many but how many can endure it? Not many. At least I didn't flare at them I just fake a smile and curse behind their back. Nothing is wrong with that. =) In working society, alot of ppl is just wearing a mask.
