Went to shop for my clothes for my interview on friday.
Bought a shirt and a pair of shoes.
Went for my first interview for a full time position.
It was said to be events and exhibition that I would be dealing with.
When I got there, I was interviewed by the managing director himself.
He said I would be doing direct sales in roadshows for probably a year before I could be a team manager and progress from there.
Sounds pretty decent to me.
And after the interview he told me he would get the girls to contact me for the last round of interview within 3 days.
As I headed back home, I was approached by the alliance companies.
First I met this HSBC guy.
He started off asking me if I would be interested to sign up for a credit card.
Before he could continue, my curious mind told me he could be one of us, so I asked him..
He told me a fair bit about the companies doing various campaigns and the likelyhood of what I may end up with.
Looking at his shagged and tired face, he told me he has been there for almost a year and he would be appointed as team manager in the coming rally.
I could really see how hard he fought.
He asked me to abandon my job offer and join his team. He took my contacts and told me that he would get his HR to call me soon, on monday.
I agreed to his request to dropby for a round of interview before I make my decision.
Continuing my path home, I met this young lady.
She asked me to spare her a couple of minutes to ask me a few questions.
So i slowed down and listened to her.
She was from the same company as the previous guy.
But she was looking for kind souls to sign up for charity.
she couldn't stop talking. So i guess i'll just have to listen and wait.
After she finished I told her I might be her collegeue.
So she started telling me her path.
She mentioned some didn't get to choose what they wanted to do.
She was 19.
She had made decsions to go back to studies.
After a fine chatting session I had with her she said..
"look at my guys they are all working so hard"..
She turned around seeing all of them sitting down on the bench beside.
I smiled.
Then she explained to me that she was the team IC and they were waiting for her for a short debrief before they go for their breaktime and back for their second shift of work.
So I told her I shouldn't delay their time. I asked her to quickly go back and not let everyone wait for us. She quickly asked for my number and told me that she would ask her HR to contact me to go for an interview probably on wednesday just to have a feel of what it is like to work under the charity branch.

Paya Lebar, Boat Quay and Chinatown. Those were the three HQs.
All wanting to collect me.
Sigh, what should I do next.
