Previous Occupation? Slacker.
I went for a job interview today, recommended by Recruit Express, which I only got to know of yesterday. Some truck repair company, dealing with heavy vehicles. Made my way to tuas early in the morning. And the place was deep inside the core of Tuas. Didn't really think much of the job actually since I already had one on hand. So when I went in and had an interview session with the manager, who looked pompous and spoke pompously, I knew I had to get out asap. They wanted people with technical background, and obviously I looked like some country pumpkin with no relevant knowledge on vehicle spare parts, engine, whatsoever. And he was like kept smiling and chuckling to himself above that beer belly, saying that he did not know what else to ask me. Yeah. I also felt quite out of place and I regretted having to wake up that early just to make my way to an interview that had to be an inevitable flop in some run-down company. All thanks to the agent at the job agency. You guys honestly need to buck up and not anyhow match job-seekers with your clients out of desperation for commission. That's just
ridiculous.
Luckily, on the other hand, I had another humbler job agency that helped me secure a temp job position at SIM. Oh yeah, I have nothing to complain. As Simon(not the one in American Idol) said, working in a university would be so much fun. Well, I truly hoped so. I have this big NO-NO deterrence for boring mundane jobs. So let's see.
Starting work on monday. 3 more days left to slack. Not that I dislike the occupation of a slacker. But sometimes slacking too much gets bored as well. Ok what am I saying? Meeting up Simon and Daniel for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait to blabber on with the latest gossips and whatever. OK now stop looking at me like that. Who says guys can't gossip???
