Today I went for my first ever job interview to be a retail assistant in an IT shop. It’s short but went pretty well. I reached the office about 15 min earlier and was asked to wait in a meeting room. While waiting, a lady gave me an application form to fill up my particulars. She didn’t bring me pen but luckily for me, I got mine in my bag. Then it was the interview in another room with another lady named Joyse. She was rather soft spoken and instead of telling me what they require the person they want to hire to be, she asked me for what I would like to do. She made the interview about me instead of about them, which is nice because it really makes the conversation less pressure for a first timer like me. Everything she said was quite pleasant for my ears, nevertheless the 6 days work week. I mean if there’s one thing SAF had taught me for the past 2 years, it has to be to go for what you like and not to focus on money and other stuff. But of course, that is when you have the choice in the first place. After 20 min of chatting, I began to get a little cold because of the air con and my stomach starts to make noise. To prevent her from listening to that noise, I spoke non-stop and made sure there’s never a point of time neither of us were talking. Fortunately, I don’t think she hear things she was not supposed to and it all ended by her telling me to wait for her call on Friday while she gets back to her boss. One thing they considering is that I only can work for 3 months before going for studies. Like I have got any other choice, I’ll wait.
