Interview

Ya.. I went. That day Rogeroko and Mdm Wong discuss about it. Then I was like..

I should also start finding now...

So I went online and search. A few days later I was called for an interview. Which is today.

I didn't do much preparation actually. I treat it as normal. You know, there's nothing much to worry. Just go with the flow! Be yourself...

When I enter the place.. That doesn't impress me much. I didn't expect it to be grand. As in... I expect the people there are young and active, and the place to be lively. End up I thought I enter a mansion. The entrance is impressive. The materials they used, the floor tiles...

The receptionist was an old lady...

"So Ricaro, oh come here and fill up the form. We will attend to you shortly."

I always have perception problem. In my whole life.. I didn't see an old lady doing reception before. Damn! I was so ignorant!

Afterwards I was brought to a room. The interviewers were also middle age. Hmm.. I must say, what questions will they give an innocent young brat? The wrinkles on their face actually traced out how much experience they had. So I think I should act smart eh?

"So... How do you motivate yourself?"

"And, I would like to see the actual perspective of the job that you apply for."

"We want to see you enjoy doing a job that you like.. Not like we choose a job for you!"

"What can you foresee if happen that this job is for you..."

Something like that.. Oh my god.. Those questions are really hidden. They disguise themselves so well and they seems like any answers are crucial.. Moreover, they even try to explain the job scope by using ARMY terms.

"So... You said you are an Armskote I/C right? You see... Our materials are like the doors of your armskote. We use steel, so that it is well protective enough."

"It's not like the way you treat your men. The people here consist of women as well. Are you comfortable with that?"

From here, some memories flash back...

When I needed things to be done, I will call and shout at BMC or Weifu. Signal la... Fusion la... If I need more rifle slings, example, I will look for QM branch. Need LOA, S4 branch. Need any security documents, S2 branch. See.. So simple. Because that environment is easy. You know, your rank always make your road smooth.

Then I think I must forget all ARMY ways. I'm a civilian now.

I answer them like I answer anyone. Because I hate to pretend. If they dun like my attitude so be with it. I also dun wish to waste time with them.

However, they said..

"If not I think we can employ you. From the conversation I think you are lingually smart."

I was praised!

Eh so simple? I thought I need more air!

So interviewer A brought me along to see the company. Briefed me about their products, told me their company history, introduce some colleagues to me... But I was worried. Worried as in, what if the job scope is something that I might not favor it? The environment is not so lively. A lot of uncles and aunties. Can I mix well with them? I'm really young and kickin' you know?

Imagine a company cohesion... Where will we going? Community Centers? No way...

They told me they will call me soon. Maybe this is the time for me to consider?
