My Day
Felt bad about lying to HK, but I thought I should give that company a shot. Oh, SH's in labour! Yippee! Now waiting for Sandy's turn. Poor guys though. Left only 5 planners to cover everyone's asses.
Rushed to Car Beauty after lunch. Damn votex fin can't be fixed today because of the downpour. It's funny to see everyone turn on their hazard lights along ECP. So Christmasy. Vision was really bad, but I couldn't care less. I had only 15 minutes to get to Habour Front.
The interview was kinda light-hearted, with the Japanese boss, the marketing manager and Elaine. The funniest part was when he asked me to sing. Which I told him I can't, but could substitute with piano-playing.
I thought interviews were redundant. I mean, obviously we say things they want to hear! The Japanese boss asked me what I think of the company and I went, "It emphasizes on branding. Just look at all the advertising. Prints, magazines, radio.... it has a competitve advantage over its competitors."
And then the manager asked, "How do you think you could contribute to the company?"
"The job scope of the marketing assistant helps collect and process data into information for analysis. If there is discrepancies in the data, knowledge gained could prove to be useless."
So MIS. Sheesh.
Good thing they didn't ask how I could value-add. That question has always dumbfounded me.
On the whole, the interview went smoothly. BUT I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I WOULD BE PAID!?!
Nothing said about the wages. Nothing said about the benefits. Nothing. Sheesh... and they said they have to discuss among themselves first.
If another interview is to be conducted, I guess I would give it a miss. I don't know what other excuses to give HK anymore! Sigh, forgo the new job, stick with my present company and enjoy my six months bonus.
Let's see how things go.
*Envy* Saw 2 ladies carrying LV bags today. The Bastille and the Messenger. So nice.
The rain reminded me of many things. Someone called up Class95 this evening and said during his school days, everyone love rainy days. It's those moments where you can actually 'dress up'. Still can remember Daniel wanted to get a white Emporio Armani windbreaker.
