Okay this sucks. Went for an interview this morning, for a temp HR admin assistant position at A*Star. The atmosphere was so suffocating. I was being interviewed by 3 people for a two weeks temp assignment!? Can you believe it? I only had to go through a phone interview when I applied for a three months temp admin position at STB. I felt so out-of-place there. The people didn't seem to be that friendly. Anyway, I met another interviewee who was scheduled after me. (I wasn't supposed to bump into her but since I was late for the whole of 15 minutes, you know.) She is a year one student from School of Business in SP. What a coincidence.
Well, chatted for a while before I was called in for the interview. I gave up half way because I knew they didn't like me - a reject from NTU and NUS. I was told to call my agent after the interview and I did. I told her I would give it a pass and said sorry. That was how I said no tactfully. But guess what? They called me at around 4pm and told me I've report to work next Monday! What? Didn't I said no? I don't want the job. The people there are really scary. I think they chose me because they have no other choice. They needed someone urgently and I kinda have some experience. Even my agent knew I flunk my interview.
I don't know, all of these is really giving me a headache. Anyway, I met up with Yu Yun after the terrible interview and we discussed the stuff we will be doing this Saturday at the KidsRead. It will be our first time conducting the session so I guess it will be kinda exciting. Then met up with Li Yan to do some shopping at AMK Hub. Went to eat at Fish & Co. Had my usual New York Fish & Chips. Then I bought this really pretty green bag and a piece of brownish-green office blouse. Nice nice. At least there's something nice about today.
