What a day!

Many thanks for all the wishes. Thanks for the support guys!

I suppose i will have to blog about the interview then. Here goes.

Took me almost 45 mins to get there. Was not lost - thank God! Reached the office with 20 mins to spare. Just enough time for the normal fill-up-the-form thingy. The office was not that huge. Not sure if they have the rest of the dept on some other floors.

Was introduced to the hiring manager of SAP team - whoa! This is not supposed to happen!

'I'm sorry, but i'm here for the post for PS aplication.'
'Not for SAP?'
'No, sir.'
'But..'

At that point, both the hiring manager and recruiter were confused. Apparently the post was for SAP development team - which is weird coz i don't even do SAP. So there was a bit of hu-ha going on in the small meeting room. Luckily, i was there for 2 positions. And luckily, the other post was PS-related. Phew!

Was intoduced to the PS team 5 mins later and the interview commenced.

I was asked to explain my current roles and experiences and while doing that, i saw one of the hiring manager shook her head. Her face was painted with dissapointment. Her reaction just blew me off. I was on the verge of losing my confidence. After a few minutes of Q&A, i asked her on the job description. I really had to know coz from where i was standing, i don't see any connection between my interest and their requirements.

I thought right. The reqs were totally different from the one in JobStreet. There's no mentioning of development or anything like that. If there were, i wouldn't even apply for the post, would i?

'You're not suitable for this position,' she said. Bluntly.

What the.. ? Why oh why did you people call me for this post if i'm all wrong for it? Why?? You guys have looked at my resume for 3 times in JobStreet and there's no mentioning of PS development or PST in it at all. AT ALL!

This is such a waste of time. Their benefits are lousy too. They offered 12 days of annual leave compared to the current 20 days per year. That would cost me exactly $1018! They're only willing to give me $1k more than my current basic. Forget it.

Ironic. Just last week, i was a bit reluctant to attend the interview. Guess i have to trust my instinct once in a while.

Am attending another session this evening at Cyberjaya. Let's just hope this will work out fine.

I hope to leave this place soon. It's not that i don't like it here. I do. I love what i'm doing but i've had enough with the people here. I've suffered for years and i think it's about time for me to find happiness elsewhere. M, if u're reading this, you know who they are. I know u're not one of them. Or are you? Hmm?? Heheh!

On a lighter note, today's my last day at HRSC. Finally! I've been keeping my seat warm for far too long now. I'm passing the baton to M who'll be siting here for the next 1 month. Seriously M, i hope it's only for a month! I do. Heheh!

10 more days to go! Hurry back honey!
