guess wat... i went for 2 interviews today!

the 1st one was a designer post for FOH FOH Co. Pte Ltd. heard of it??
anyway this company nature of business is import/export, wholesale of household plastic wares. (kinda reminds me of my previous job at SUN Micro. haha...)
this company is situated at No. 2 Pandan Ave. yes!~ its tat far! took the MRT to Clementi station then still need to tranfer bus 78.
sounds like gng back to sch ya?

the place is quite ulu loh.. those industrial area.. kinda expected already.. so was still quite ok.. in fact i think it seem better than the place tat Eda used to work.
the security system here seem to be rather tight. u need to sign in & sign out as a vistor. but anyway, the security guard is very friendly. he actually asked me if i was here for the designer's post. haha..
erm... u can see many half-naked guys here~ hahah... relax.. they r those doing the delivery/packing of goods, etc.
but i did see quite a few guys who r around my age (not those half-naked ones lah) and r not bad looking leh.. oops!~ =)
anyway, i was led into the building and was given an application form to fill in. u knw wat, the form still got typo error one.. alamak~
after filling the form, i still need to go up to the 2nd storey & wait outside the interview room.
a ger was already there.. she got those big portfolio file... c liaoz damn sianz.. ahaha.. coz i already knw my chances r very low. (i only got cd-rom)
quite a few ppl came for the interview. but not all r vying for the position of designer.
bascially, i spent 80% of my time waiting. my interview time was set at 10 am. but the boss said he had to meet a guest.. so ask us to wait.
so there i was.. waiting patiently while controlling my urge to go to the toilet.. hhaha.. torture...

the interview was rather okie.. the boss is a nice person.. the interview became less formal gradually and we actually communicate in chinese later.
after showing him my portfolio, he asked me a few qnz and briefly told me bout the job scope, which was mainly helping them to design catalogues & maybe create a website. he said that they r willingly to teach me some of the things.. the most important thing is whether i have any interest in the job.
he asked me if cuming to the company is difficult, since i was staying so far away. then we also chatted bout how bad the current economy is... hahaah..
hmm.. so far so gd loh. anyway this is just the 1st round of the interview. too many ppl applied for tat post..
so if im shortlisted, i will need to go for another round of interview.. which i think will be a tougher one.. haiz..
(btw, when i left the building, its 11.45 !! even the security guard said i took very long.. hehe)

the 2nd interview i went for, is the Sales Associate post for Veeko. saw the ad in the papers this morning and decided to give it a try. (its a walk-in interview)
so i just walked in the Veeko outlet at Tampines Mall and asked 4 the interview.
"r u above 18?" was the 1st qn one of the sales associate asked. haha... do i look like im below 18??
once again, i had to fill up the application form. i was then interviwed by the Assistant Area Supervisor. she is a friendly & frank person.
she told me all the negative stuffs in Sales... she said its stressful becoz i need to reach a certain target of sales of every month.
its also very tiring becoz of the long hours and i gotta stand the whole day. well, she just want me to be mentally prepared..
she also asked me qnz like how will i go about to reach my sales target, how will i compete wif the other Sales Associates, etc....
tough qns for some1 who dun hav any experience in sales... *sweat*
but i still enjoyed the interview session becoz she made it very informal. just like chatting wif a fren.. (chatting in chinese again) hahah...
after the interview, she gave me her namecard & said she will let me knw by Sat, if im shortlisted.

i think im very lucky today.. no mean interview sessions... onli nice ppl who i ended up chatting wif.. thank GOD!~
and i did gain some precious experience throughout the interview sessions.
so right now i shall just wait & see... Sat sd hav all the answers...
til then... =)
