KJCF interview experience

It was a bright morning of a gud day when i received the call from KianJoo Can Factory.
I remembered i applied a position of Management Trainee in KJCF.
And yet, i was asked to attend the interview for Production Executive. Okay, i was thinking, since i have no job, why dont i go for try.

But i never take is seriously. I went to the wrong place at 1st, which was another plant. When i finally arrived at the right location, i was nearly late. And the front desk asked me y i am so late. I WERE NOT LATE!! The HR who called me up dint ask me to reach earlier to fill up d forms !!
k, i dun care. Bt surely, i was bit late when i finally in the interview room.
There was 4 candidates (including me) and 3 engineers seriouSly reading the candidates profile in the room. After the arrival of the General Manager, interview started.
It wasnt a too formal interview. No any particular Q on knowledge part (n if it asked, neither i can answer. loll)..

I tot i will fail getting this, n neither i had favour in this job.......
But, i got selected, as a Management Trainee in Production Line. With offer of RM 2300 of initial salary, work 5.5 days, 8-5pm, 45min breaks, sat 8-1pm.... And they even accepted my starting job day which is 2 months later.. But, when i asked on jobscope of MT, d HR said she oso not sure, shud b similar to Production Exec. I was kinda SWT..
I tried to delay the day of submitting signed appointment letter, bt d HR jz tell me, nvm, sign it 1st.
It do no harm for me. As if i change my mind of saying "sorry" to the offer, i can jz inform her 2 weeks in advance of the starting dates.

Eventually, I let go d job thou i signed, and cont of F&N Chiilax2 ...
Main reason of declining d job is that, i dun wanna work 5.5 days for the given salary. 2ndly, it is a chinese man company. 3rdly, their internal seems not well managed(applied MT, interview PE, offered MT Without telling me jobscope of MT). 4thly, still enjoying d "Chillax-ing" job... loll ~~

Permanent job hunting stories, July-November

Have not been updating my blog since m bek frm HK. Even blog on HK trip isnt completed. Havent met WoonMei yet for the photos.

Jz2 share on my working stuffs in this period of July-Dec2010.

I was OFFICIALLY graduated in August.
It is December now, yet, m still a freelancer.

It is a tempting job. Not on money side, but the experiences, and friendships, and lots of fun u got .. Thou on average, still earning bit more den permanent job, even counting in EPF n etc etc stuffs..

It is a wrong thing if u said i never put an effort of looking 4 a permanent job..
Initially, i wanted to start work after i graduated officially (which is afta my HK trip too). Cz of my stuborness, i dun agree to that, a newbies in a company to take 1 week leave for a planned trip. Hey, if u r so rushed to gt a permanent job, 4gt ur trip den..

I started to try getting a permanent job since d month of July, when i was in F&N Seasons Jasmine GreenTea Roving job. I gt a call frm Synovate, a global market research company in one morning. Its convenience working location (Mid Valley) attracted me. They even arranged interview schedule according to my time. I passed the 1st n went on to 2nd interview, then i failed. ChingShuan who get into work in Synovate in another dept told me tht my dept gt a new person in later on, n he worked in Synovate before. Guess it is d reason m nt being selected.
Since than, i lost the iterest of looking for jobs in market research industry, thou d job scope is exactly same as what i ddi for my FYP.

There was no news on permanent job, till i bek frm HK. I was still in HK mood, when i gt d call frm an head hunter company which HQ was in HK. It delighted me, when i noe, the HR was calling frm HK. Was so happy till day dreamt tht i may b sent to HK for training. Loll.. n d 1st interview failed. I remembered telling d interviewer tht i dun prefer ofiz job, n she told me 1st 9 months of probation, is surely on ofiz job ny. Since den, no calling frm them.

I did sum other jobs in between. Sampling, Usher, Flyer gal..
And then i accepted to cont for F&N Seasons Roving Team. This project was named Chillax, and involving 1 Alphard, 4 promoters, n outstation too.

So, on d nxt interview, which was with UOB bank for sum tele-customer post, i told them i can onli starting d job in November. Stupid job agency who tell me no prob and ask me to go for that interview. A waste of time, as i was declined, once they noe i can onli b starting d job in November cz they nid ppl in urgent
(and interview was afta i spent my time filling up forms n assesements...)

Then i went Maybank for an interview, for a position of Analyst. Gosh, it tested me on my knowledge in Statistics. But, i 4gt them. I 4gt the stats courses i took. I 4gt the stats thingy i learn. Honestly, i did no homework b4 i go. I jz din xpect will b asked these Q.. Ohhhh, my fault. n they oso nid ppl to fill the position urgently, n cnt wait for mr till November. N ofc, i failed again.

I finally got hired afta d interview with KianJoo Can Factory, KJCF. It is a public listed company, n working location is just 10 minutes from my house, n never jam in that road unless accident. Bt inn d end, i rejected it. N cont freelancing...
KJCF Interview Experience: http://philos-littleworm.blogspot.com/2010/12/kjcf-interview-experience.html

I am a nasty candidates.. loll...
I wan gud pay, i wan gud benefit. i dun wan 6 days job unless a nice nice pay..
N my nastiness in permanent job finding is due to my confidence to myself regarding my good profile (not to say vry good, bt m satisfied), n partly that i gt jobs backing-up ~

Just a Dream

The version of "Just a dream" from SamTsui n Christina Grimme is much nicer compare to the ori version.....





I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.

I was at the top and I was like I’m at the basement.
Number one spot and now she found her a replacement.
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby.
And now you ain't around, baby I can't think.
Shoulda put it down. Shoulda got that ring.
Cuz I can still feel it in the air.
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair.

My lover, my life. My shorty, my wife.
She left me, I'm tied.
Cuz I knew that it just ain't right.

I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.

When I be ridin man I swear I see her face at every turn.
Tryin to get my usher over, I can let it burn.
And I just hope she notice she the only one I yearn for.
Oh I miss her when will I learn?

Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback.
Now I'm in the club thinkin all about my baby.

Hey, she was so easy to love. But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough.

I'm goin through it every time that I'm alone.
And now i'm missin, wishin she'd pick up the phone.
But she made a decision that she wanted to move one.
Cuz I was wrong.

And I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road.
Who she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.
I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.
