Pening @.@

Right now, I still cant make up my mind whether should i work here or elsewhere. Malacca has lesser job opportunities if compared to KL or PJ. But there were also barriers that have been constricting me from going beyond Malacca to work. To date, i have applied for many job positions, 9 applications to be exact. The first interview i attended was for the position Sales Executive with Gatelink. The basic she could afford to give me was 1.5 and she said i could easily earn up to 2k+. But too bad, it was a door-to-door sales and I have never shown interest for this type of sales job, I can only accept it if they have at least some existing customers. The second interview was a good start for me and it was also the first ever interview that i felt nervous about. Hatten Group for the position of Marketing Executive, first interview was with Mr. Suresh and the second one was with a Chinese guy. I stuttered when i was in the first interview probably because it was my first experience to have an interview under such formal and strict environment HAHA! But the second interview last week was fine. The second interviewer said he's ok with everything and added that i need only a lil experience to get things thru, so my application has to go through the GM, If im not selected, means im not good enough lo.

Third one fuhh, was kinda stressful. Two against me, throwing all sorts of questions and they were frank to me that the job I'm applying is really tough and challenging. Guess what job it is?

When i was eating outside 3 weeks ago, i received an sms from a printing company who requested for my resume and i was called up for an interview for the customer care position without any time for preparation =.=. Chiu, but the salary that she proposed wasnt enough. So i reluctantly rejected it although i really wanna start working immediately but the only motivation was a letdown. But recently i found out that the position still remains vacant and I asked a fren to give it a try, but jual mahal betul dia.

Another funny one was with Hektar Group for the Marketing Exe post, it turned out to be a counseling session LMAO. Both interviewers advised me to do something else like advertising and  asked me to keep my artistic skills alive haha. Although they gave me bar graphs to draw, figures to count, and worst, they made me wait for 40mins but they talked really nicely, they advised me to go for the right path and do something I'm interested in. When i walked to my car, i saw a saman, what a nice day :)

So far, went to PJ twice and met some of them on my second visit to PJ. Got my letter finally, thanks Carmen for helping me :D Im going to KL again next month for an interview with Aeon at their head office. I have no idea how to get there, can anyone be my GPS? Haha..And im still considering whether should i go for this interview as it is quite far from here and I have no idea whether can i secure the job or not. Haiz! Any opinion??

Or should i stay here and venture into the sales field with some help from my bro, cousin, and friends? Its the only job in Malacca which i find that the return can be quite promising. @.@ I really dont know which one to choose.

Hi! If you are working for the money and you can work under pressure to meet the company's target, a job as a sales would be really good as the starting pay is 2k and above (at KL). My cousin suggested me to work in a Bank but i tak mahu, lol.

What is the position that they are offering you at Aeon?

By the way, keh poh sikit, what letter is that? important for your career?
