Real interview at NHC and Kbox session
*【甜蜜，写在笔记本里，怕被爸妈发见了。
气愤，泄在博客里，怕被世界看见了。
泪流，洒在脸蛋上，怕被朋友窥见了。
。。。
秘密，记在脑海里面，更害怕被时间吞噬了。
我们之间。。。难道就是这么“不.能.说.的.秘.密”吗？】
Haha... came up with a prologue for my new short story while lying in bed last night! K... as to when I'll write mah... lol see when I'm nt lazy ba lol.*
Hilarious dream last night: Dreamt that Micky and Xiah were lying on those double-decker beds, next to each other. Micky was super fast aslp (saw him licking lol!), and suddenly stuck out his butt~ basically, his lower body was way out of bed (looks like he’s gonna fall down!) Well, it was daytime and Xiah wasn’t aslp. He saw Micky’s weird posture and decided to imitate him. He oso stuck his butt out of his bed la, while reading his own pictorial book. Then, he kept on laughing while looking at Micky lol.
As for the interview at NHC today… I learnt an impt lesson I would say: 正视前途.
NHC nt very accessible, muz take shuttle bus from Outram Park MRT bus-stop. The shuttle bus is kinda full lor… I almost late sia. Geraldine, the staff there told me can actually walk to MRT from NHC, but have to pass thru mortuary lol.
*Hospital… mortuary… seventh lunar month? Haha.*
Completed 8 pages of forms. Waited for interview while another gal who came to interview for temp admin job went in first. Hers quite fast… 15mins over. My one took like half an hr god.
Well, agent told me easy admin job for this, not much phoning work but no lor. The interviewer lady told me have to attend to doctor, patients enquiries over the phone… arrange doctor’s training schedules, appointments and take down notes for medical reports. Do audio-typing (doctor record what he or she says, then u listen le type into com), or type as the doctor say. Each admin assistant at the cardiology department is assigned a pool of doctors to be in-charged of… say 5-8 doctors. They work on Saturdays there as well. 1st mth is trial… 6bucks/hr. Later if they are happy with u, then convert to full-time. She told me almost everything about the job, sounds like tonnes of work to me. Before job start, have to go through profiling (online personality test), medical check-up and one more thing, passed all then can work. Whole process might take a wk.
Oh yeah, she is honest… she said many of my age can’t take the job stress so quitted. Empathy and management is super important in their front-line customer service.
Interviewer lady looks kind but she’s quite sharp in asking questions. *没有准备，所以有些招架不住。* Questions like: “With ur diploma, why consider a job in admin? Why the healthcare industry? Why even a full-time one? Wasting ur diploma… what’s your long-term plan? Can you cope with stress? Stress is everywhere… Do you have to support your family? Can you comprehend doctors’ handwritings?” etc.
*Uni degree is very impt la… Matthew said, and nw she too.*
我承认，自己对long-term的admin工作没兴趣，哈哈。。。被她识破了吧，我想。I don’t think “wasting diploma” sounds offensive at all. In fact, I very much agree with her. She pointed out sth very true… why shld I waste my time doing admin job if I have a diploma in media-related courses? I can’t possibly answer her: “Agencies don’t usually find media-related jobs for us, and it’s not easy getting into one such company with a diploma nia. I just want money for now.” Though it’s truly what I think.
Maybe I shldn’t have said I consider admin as a full-time job *dunno what gt into me*… so wrong to say that.我心里本来就没这个打算啊!
Long-term plan? I stumbled at that. “Planning for part-time degree in local uni atm,” I told her. Well, I saved the later part though… “and then most probably get a journalist job in the vibrant and creative media industry!” Haha.
Admin=boredom. But I’d have to say nowadays even “admin assistants” aren’t easy to be!
My interview tips:
Always be prepared for questions, esp for jobs you’re craving to get your hands on! We don’t wanna miss the chance.
Sometimes we gt to “lie” for the sake of that job lol.
Don’t say “no” to that job halfway thru the interview. Give ur time to consider it thru. (cos it always happen to me, and once I “shaked head inside my heart”, 接下去的面试我都听不下去了haha.)
我觉得这才是真的面试。We usually learn sth in real good interviews.
I truly thanked her for her words. They made me reflect, and让我对自己的信念更加坚定了.
But atm, I really need money mah~~~
*TOTO prize money fly away le~~~ haha.*
Afternoon met PQ and WZ went JE Kbox sing. Been months since I went Kbox. We went in oni at 3pm cos rooms were full before that. $14.50 per person nw... with 1 drink + 1 snack/fruits/tidbit + 1 side-kick. WZ and I had Ebi prawn while PQ ordered the octopus ball. It tasted like takoyaki lor. I didn't like my prawn though... "nua nua" one.
Dinner at hawker centre. We chatted about WZ's cousin who committed suicide years ago... depressing issue.
人死了，就死死无对证。
接着只剩下别人的猜测。
轻生，是种不负责任。
人，就算一时想不开，也绝对要抗压到底。
毕竟，低落只不过是。。。一时。
气愤，泄在博客里，怕被世界看见了。
