My Interview at OXXXX

Eventually, I have went for the interview. Felt guilty in the morning when I went to take the MC from panel clinic. But, why should I feel that? Since the 'Kan Seong' took away our public holiday, I should take back by claiming MC(s).

The HR people has made the appointment with me at 3.30. I used to be reach earlier for every appointment or event, as so, I reached there at 3.10pm. The first impression is that, wow, their building is so 'old'. One thing cannot be deny is that, although it's old, but it will definitely better than where I am now. Well, I'm saying the working attitude and the management, perhaps?

The guard guided me the way but did not go with me. I just follow his instuction, scaring that will go to the wrong place. He said, I should press '2' inside the lift. But outside of the lift, it shows that HR is at level 3. It really confused me.. and my heart is saying: what a 'siao' guard. Haha.. but when I went into the lift, It shows, G, 1 and 2.... So what should I say? Siao people who put the laminated paper outside of the lift, indication 1, 2, 3 instead of G, 1, 2?

The lift is very small, which can only load for maximum of 6 people. It's rectangular size, 450KG the heaviest. I was alone in da lift and it reminded me about the so call ghost movie I watched during lunch time in the office. Keep praying in my heart....

When I reach the HR department in the 2nd floor, I don't know which way should I go. Turn left is the staircase and right to the office. So, it should be right. I'm so so so super pai seh when I step into the office. Their cubicle is the low one, and everbody can see you walking. You see, i'm ALONE! and where shall I go? who shall I look for? who shall I ask? I thought the HR who called me should have waited me there??? I like a siao people, walking in, without any direction. Unlike here, oursiders can wait in the room, which do not need to go into office where people can see you. OK, I simply ask a girl that I came there for interview and where should I go. She appointed me into one room in front of her cubicle. I seat there, fill in the form and there came another Indian woman which intension is for interview, too.

After filled in the form, I just look around and felt that, hmmm... really an old building ya... and it's soooooooo quiet. Nobody makes fun. All of them are working so seriously.. and one thing is, the cubicle again... low cubicle, which do not have any P&C. If I join, how am I going to do 'illegal' things? Hehehheheeeee...

It's 3.45pm, the interview should be start at 3.30. I do not have a good patience. I sms ah ling saying that I waited there for so long d... but din even see the shadow of the interviewer. Doing nothing there....so i just smiled with the Indian who seat on the other table. Then we started to chat. Well, she is from Intel, working as a technician. She asked where I'm from and I told her where I am from. She said: Oh~! I thought MXXX-CXXXXXXX is good? Then I said, oh, Intel is also good ma... Yes, she said, Intel is good but her line will moving to Kulim and she does not want to go. This is her reason to get a new job. She told me a lot of Intel's benefit.. Wow! Seems like Intel is a place to korek money. She said that every clip of eyes you can see the increase of money. One year have lots of bonus, profit sharing, share option, bla bla bla.... Hmmmm... in the conversation, she feels very worry about her work and always emphasis that she does not want to go to Kulim as she haa bought a house here and alraedy had a baby girl which is only 8 months old.. pity her.

The HR lady walked in and told me that my interview will be postpone until 4.30pm because the interviewer is having a tele-conference with German. SucXss..... a few minutes later, the Indian woman has being called for the interview and I seat there day dreaming until the HR lady called me to another room.

There were 2 interviewes, one is around late 40's and one is around late 20's. Hardly remember their name, I think is Serena and Lamp? Lamp??? hahahha... the pronousation is 'lamp' but i don't know how it really spells. The older woman asked me to tell her about my first job until the current one. I started to kap kap kap, and she ask ask ask... Until she ask me why I terminated my first job. Well, the answer is, I'm being called to Thailand and I refused to. So, I quit and join the curent company. They seems not comfortable when I gave them this answer because they usually have business trip to Germany. Before I went for the interview, OR before I apply for the job, I knew that they used to have business trip to Germany. I just SAJA click and do not expect they will call me for an interview. I felt not comfortable, too, when they TRYING to pursuade me that going for the business trip to Germany is actually good and comman and ..... a bunch of reasons... The old lady said that what I'm doing now is 100% suit for the person she is looking for. Of course la... I'm here doing all the ASP.net, VB.net work everyday and alone =( All the SDLC is done by me.. There, the main just is only develop.. the rest is for others to do.. no need to talk to the end user and no need to do the documentation.. much more easier compare to here.

I think my face has showed a DENYING expression to go for business trip. Is just like that Indian woman, who is so worry to be relocate to Kulim. Ok, if you are the ready who read my blog, will ask, if you do not want to go to business trip and you have knew that company will send their employee to Germany, why do you go for the interview. I'll reply you that, If I do not go for the interview, then my name will be black listed. So I rather go and simply answer, simply write the expected salary (to a very very high $$$)... =)

My passion of getting that job is totally 0 (zero). Actually I have a feelling of, please do not call me, please do not call me.... yes, i really don't feel to receive their phone call for second interview or even an answer of, you are being hire.

It is already the second day after my interview. While working in the office today, my phone rang. A number that I have never seen. I pick up the call and the woman at the other side said that: Hi, this is XXX calling form OXXXX. My heart beat is soooo strong + fast. I'm so so so worry that they want me. Well, she tell me that, Ms. Loh, one of your original certificate has accidentally left at our offfice. Could you come over and collect it from the guard house? Phewww...... Ho Cai! But Kanasai is that, I have to waste my time again going to that place. Shit!

So do you still feel OXXXX is a ideal company??? :)

Seriously, my 6th sense told me they will offer you for a 2nd interview/the job soon.

This type of company normally searching for BSBH background employee. You are the one in million for them kekeke...

Salary wise, since you have few years experience they should be able to offer you around 3.5K +/- .

They are quite strong in $$$ but most people decided to leave is because of CULTURE. Just like how you feel in your current company. But I expect Oxxxx to be more Malaysians style company rather than Chinaman style.

In fact $$$ is not the main driver for ppl to squeeze into Intel... ($$$ wise Altera/Dell is the CHAMPION!) People like Intel because of their culture in practising PEOPLE always come first before the Biz. They see employees as their CORE ASSET and if they have to make a tough decision to keep the employee or biz, they will not afraid to leave the biz behind... As they believe as long as the asset (employee) is with them, they can bring back the biz with this asset rather than losing the asset but keeping the biz... Ppl is always the biggest asset that will improve a company potentials.

Well... Economic is getting better. Most big guns are going back on track now... You would see more opportunities evolving in the markets. What you need to do now in fact is to develop yourself and layout your own future by knowing where you want be in the next 5 years... A Career Plan would help you to make the right decision in getting the right firm and right job!

Good Luck!
