dilemma...

Both interviews went smoothly today. Managed to crap my way through, especially for the morning one, which is CPG Laboratories Pte Ltd, used to be under PWD. Definately a prestigious company. Anyway, got 4 ppl interview me. No...I shld say, 4 ppl bombarded me with questions. Bo bianz lah...sure kana tekan! More or less I get my brain cells ready to crap my way through in any event if I'm thrown with stupid questions! It's basically a 5 1/2 day work week, but alternate saturdays lah. But got sales target to meet, may need to work OT, then transport allowance oni cover me 50 cents/km??...Something like tat lah. Yes! It's located in a super duper ULU corner inside the police coast guard. Work environment??...Nah!! basically work inside the container!! At least still got aircon lah! Ok...here comes the interesting part. I'm expected to do site visits to the construction areas or to the site office, which is oso usually located near the construction site. That's not all. Some of the contractor's company is located right in Geylang, infact, it's right in the red light district area, and I'm supposed to go there and meet the clients. The interviewer was really mean. He was saying: "You go constrcution site etc., sure got a lot of guys oogle at you or make cattalks etc. DO you MInd??" Siaoz!! wata stupid question!...Of coz I say I dun mind lah!!...And here comes another stupid question from one of the interviewer: "Our working envrionment is like a pressure cooker. Very stressful, got sales target to meet. Can You Handle It??"....Dumb question rite??...Of coz I will say I can handle lah!! Pea brains Interviewer!! Tink the whole stupid interview took about 1hr+. My poor papa...tink he waited for me for nearly 45mins, then he had to rush back office for meeting, so got my brother to fetch mi instead. Prolly he taut the interview shld not take very long mah. Anyway, they say will let me noe the answer by the end of tis week, coz they oso got other candidates. But well, I'm not exactly really keen on the job now, coz of the job scope lah. At first I was still ok, until I went hm juz now, Mummy and Sis were not very encouraging. Mummy feels tat it's dangerous, having to go to construction site, and sis was saying tat there are a lot of "se-lang" there. And u noe lah, contractors/foreman are quite vulgar and ti-ko-pek wan, so she dun advise me to take up the job. Plus, her good fren, Jaycee used to work as advertising sales, which requires her to liaise with contractors etc. and oso go to construction site etc. and it's a really tough job. Heard from sis that those contractors/foremans will start calling her and ask her out...or those guys see her liao, they will start drooling and their nose will start to bleed!! Kaoz!! So Bian-Tai!!

As for the afternoon one, it's Ricoh Asia Pacific Pte Ltd at Hereen. Also quite a prestigious company, dealing with Printers, Fax Machines, Copiers etc. Yeaps! tis is the company which muz take some stupid test. Ok, I taut was some personality test, but it's actually EXCEL test!! Damn!! Had to answer 87 questions within 45mins. Was tested on formulas, certain excel functions etc etc. Half way through the test, my mind oredi shut off! Firstly, tink I ate too much, so can't tink properly...feeling damn sleepy! Secondly, my Excel knowledge oredi return to my SIM lecturer liao. How the hell would I remember the formulas etc. when most of the time we oni use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint??...Waste of my time!! Tina, the receptionist and the one who help set up the test was really sweet lah. She told me that I need to get 80% in order to be granted interview. I doubt I actually scored 80%. Anyhow, I was given an interview by the Assistant Manager lah. A pretty funny guy who is damn frank. He gave me a list, which is the job scope. It's actually Marketing Executive, but the more administrative type, which is wat I'm looking for actually. Basically is doing data entry, market research, analyse the trends etc. Then may need to visit clients at times. However, I'll need to travel. Yes! You may tink it's good to be able to travel, but you're wrong. Coz the Biz trips are to 3rd World Countries!!...Thailand, Vietnam etc. *Pengz*....at first I was still ok about it...until he told me tat the place I'm gg is not the city area, but to those ULU provincial area...I reckoned those places where there's no electricity, proper toilet, transport etc. And he was saying, I'll need to travel on a jeep to the country-side to do market survey!! and the journey itself is enough to kill!...Not advisable for "Xiao-Jie"!! ahhaa...Mmm...tink he can see tat I cannot take it wan!...But wat attract me most is the pay!! They are willing to pay me wat I asked for, which really surprised me, coz most companies seldom wan to pay so much to a fresh grad. Then it's a 5 day work-week. Can go to work anytime between 7.30am-9.30am...as long as you work 8hrs a day. Somemore it's a Jap firm, so usually welfare quite ok. Everything seems so perfect except the travelling part. And also, the assistant manager and the boss gg away for business trip, then will oni be back 3weeks lata, so they can oni get back to me in 3 weeks time! Haiz...Then told my parents and sis about it...all know my pampered and very 'girl' character, they all discouraged me...they now I sure cannot make it wan. Oh well, I may not be offered the job by either of the companies oso lah. I'm juz tinking too much. Taut my job search can come to an end for now, but well, gota look up in the recruit again! Damnz!...Ok, 1 thing's for sure. I'll be working for the Sony one though. Lucky my training is in Suntec on Wednesday at 5pm. Miss Clara not so lucky! Coz she doing sales wan, so need technical training. She gota go back to Sony at Jurong East for training, after which she will oso head down to Suntec for briefing. Taut Uncle Mat would be able to join us, but Derrick says he put Mat on hold. Tink they oredi hab enough ppl lor, tats why.

Mmm....suddenly feel so depressed. It's March now...April will come very soon. Yet, I'm still jobless...*sobz*
