Unprofessional Interview Session!
I am really very disappointed in the way the interview was conducted. Considering tat OSIM is actually a listed company, I would expect some kinda professionalism in the way things are conducted. I taut it would be something like CPG Labs, where I'll hab a few ppl bombarding me with questions. No...this was not the case. And I had actually got myself well- prepared for the interview in case I were to be bombarded with some nonsensical questions. I went online and surfed the OSIM website...study it for a while etc etc...but all my efforts had gone down the drain!
No. 1: The interviewer, Lynn Tan was damn RUDE ok! I wonder if she's from the HR or Marketing department. Throughout the interview session, I can actually use my toe to count the no. of times she actually had eye contact with me! Strange! I dun tink my face was written something like "Owe $$, Pay $$"!! Yet when she was speaking to me about the job scope and all, she wasn't having any eye contact with me at all! Infact, she juz kept on looking at my resume, her own stuffs and seems to be in her own world! I really cannot understandy why!! I am such a harmless person wat!! Haiz...Will someone pls teach her some Interviewing Skills??
No. 2: She really asked mi STUPID questions! All the questions she asked me are so superficial wan! All can be found in the resume! I rather she conduct a fone interview asking me those stupid questions rather than waste my time and my papa's petrol in sending me all the way to UBI!! Kaoz! Basically, those questions she asked me are the questions which I asked my "O" or "A" levels candidates when I was working in Recruit Express! Shallow questions! No depth at all!! C'mon! I'm applying for a perm position and not a temp job. She's really insulting my intelligence manz!
No. 3: I hab oredi stated clearly in my Cover Letter tat my expected salary is $1.9K neg. I duno if she's the one who scanned thru my resume or wat...but whoever who decided to call me for interview muz be someone who is BRAINLESS!! Guess wat??...She actually told me tat wat I asked for is on the high side. Ok, fair enough...tis I agree, coz I was juz trying my luck, coz usually for fresh grad, starting pay is ard $1.8K. So she asked me wats the lowest I can go...so I juz told her $1.8K. And she was like..."Mmm...$1.8K is still on the high side. Actually we're paying between $1.4K - $1.6K. Is tat fine with you??" [SIAOZ!!] At tis point of time, my mind is cursing and swearing at her liao! I was getting a bit impatient oso, so I juz told straight in her face: "Well, I dun tink I can accept, coz from wat I understand, tats the pay of a diploma holder." She was silent for a while lah...then went on to say some crap but my brains have oredi shut off!!...Really waste my time!
Haiz...guess I'm still not fated to meet my ideal job yet. Basically tis job is pretty ideal. Doing marketing support and has opportunity for career advancement as well, prolly as Marketing Executive. But the pay is really not motivating at all!! If I were to accpet the $1.6K offered, I might as well not further my studies in the first place and waste 3 years there!...Then my papa made a comment which I felt quite sore about it. He said tat he remember advicing me not to study Marketing coz hard to find job, and now...really hard to find. Well, I juz told him tat if I wan to study, of coz I rather study something which is of interest to me. The best example...I'm suxx in accounting and I oso HATE it...so cannot expect me to specialise in Finance wat!!...No interest = More failure! Then my papa kept quiet aft tat!!...Well, I'm not trying to argue with him, but I juz wan him to see the logic. So wat if the financial sector is a lucrative trade...if u dun hab the passion in wat u study and do, tats even worst! Coz u'll regret yr decision of not pursuing yr own interest in the first place and u'll hab to start all over again. Till now, I dun regret study Marketing and I know I've made the right decision... :)
