Went to an interview the other day. Like usual popped up question like "Are you willing to multi-task" and "Are you willing to work long hours?" I thought for a second there...."Aren't all Malaysian employers already practiced that prior to me coming here for an interview?"

Screwed up in last part of Interview

ProbMan — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:29:06 +0800

Yesterday evening went for an interview with a waste treatment company which was based in Germany. I was very keen and interested on the job because there's so many things to learn and it also has very good prospects in Asia region. The interview also went very smooth...but during the last part I said I prefer to start on 1st October. The director actually asked me to start on 23rd which I couldn't do so because of another one week notice for my present employer. Then the director said "Well, no need to give notice first as we're still screening for other candidates, you'll know the results on 23rd"....First he said, "Most probably you may start on 23rd"... then he changed his mind.

Hmmph...kinda wasted and regretted also. I should have just take a couple of few mcs and join in immediately.

Actually Im undergoing training in Vads now as a technical CSR for TM Streamyx. The problem now is I just got an offer from Western Digital for Manufacturing Executive job. If I quit Vads now, I need to pay them Rm800 as required by contract bond. Somemore both were shift jobs while im taking a course now which is abit troublesome for me to juggle my work and studies... Of course WD is paying more, but Vads seems to giving some really quality training and prospects.
