Went down for a job interview today at chinatown, which was apparently a total waste of my time! The company was actually a mini accounting firm and so the boss asked me if i knew anything about accounting. Damn! Of course not, i have never touched accounts in my entire life before and hello? Do you think i'll know anything about it? Yes, only debit & credit (as i've learnt from some of my friends). But i doubt my minimal knowledge would have any impact. And the boss was going on & on, in other wordsm 'blabbering', about culturing orchid as his hobby. And he happily ASUMMED that i AM interested in such a topic since i'm into biotechnology. Yes, i am studying biotechnology, but i'm NOT INTO biotechnology. Note the tad bit of difference there.
Something even more out of point, the FIRST question he popped out during the interview was "Why is your e-mail address so weird"? And this is my add: agape_liza@go.com He was asking me what's the meaning of 'agape' & telling me that it is a name of a drug rehabilitation centre. Oh wells... dot.. dot... dotssssssss....... And before i left, he questioned me again " What is go.com? What kind of website is it?" Please la.. if you're so curious, just go visit it yourself alright? Seems like my e-mail address has gained a lasting impact on him? Dots.
The one and only impressive thing is that he plays the piano! He has a Grade 8 cert.. but that was almost 20 years ago.... Since i was impressed by this fact, i TRIED my very best to tolerate him for the 20-min interview.
Needless to say, i didn't get the job! haha. A blessing in disguise.. if not he's gonna tell me about his whole farm of orchids! *phew*
