Interviews

In office now, Carolyn took half day urgent leave, I guess she overslept lah, we had dinner with Wendy last night at P.S. until 9.30pm. So, now I'm bored, Charmaine also went to Malaysia with her department and boss.

Perhaps one of the reasons for my moodiness this morning is that I am really tired, had a really long chat with Seow last night till 3am, then his soccer match start so have to stop, through he claim he can still talk when watching soccer... I know him better!
This is my 3rd night in a row that I slept at 3am and had to wake up at 8am. 5 Hours! Where got enough for ME! I need to get some sleep soon... hmm...planning...planning...

Another reason responible for my mood today is my interview yesterday with Cathay Ad-House. It was my 2nd interview, and I had to do a marketing plan for The Cathay and present to the chairman, manager, and HR. In the end, the Chairman says he thinks I did quite a good job...for my age! He feels that since I'm not in the target age group for The Cathay (25-40 yrs old) and I'm only 23... I do not know what they want... BUT he would like to give me a try... (still wondering what he meant by that?? He is still deciding or he plans to put me in Cineleisure so he can move the lady there now to The Cathay? She would probably be 26 or 27... (soon to be too old to know what the 14-28 years old wants... if you are not in the age group you won't know what they want right?? - His reasoning... )

BUT, I still like this position! And believe it or not I actually like the Chairman, and the Manager (one look I know she is the type that sure will kill me if I don't do my job well...but I need this kind of person to help me grow...and I'm sure she is going to be a good mentor to learn from.) and I also like the HR lady, I think she is nice... When she sent me out after the interview, I asked her how many more interviewees are there since they just told me they are still in the mist of interviewing others and will let me know their decision by next week. She told me, honestly we only shortlisted 4 for 2nd interview and you are the only one that turned up...! I wonder why? Because they are too lazy to do a short marketing plan? To afraid to do a presentation? or afraid to see the Chairman?? If it is any of the above then even I know that they are not suitable for a marketing job... so I actually like this manager's way of filtering the suitable ones...
Well, back to me, if that 3 had chicken out, I shall be the chosen one right? Wrong! They decide to do shortlisting again! I guess they really don't like to be left with no choice...or they don't have faith in me... :/ getting depressed...

So I'm waiting for next Monday, HR told me I could call her then to hear what is their decision. I think if I wait until I call her, then chances not high, that's why I hope she would call me this week with the good news... praying...praying...

By the way Branded Lifestyle just called me to go for interview again with their chairlady, I applied for their marketing executive position but at the 1st interview the interviewer says she finds that I am much more suitable for their new position for Retail Operations Executive, basically same as what I'm doing now except it would be a brand new brand... says the marketing position would be too desk-bound for me... so just now she called to arrange for an interview for me again... think I'll go lah. see see look look ma...
