I'm a super big sotong today.
I was having my calculus lab when my handphone rang. The number starts with 746- and I thought it belong to one of my friends call Gina, cos she called me from home last week and her number is similar. So i picked up and straightaway say "Hello Gina!"
"Good afternoon, may i speak to Ashley. I'm from...." At this moment i really thought why Gina so strange. What's all that formality for? And I'm too thick to realise that she called me "Ashley". Usually, my friends would go by my dialect name. So i thought this gina must have been up to something but that sound absurb!
I interrupted "Hey Gina, how come huh you so formal out of sudden" with a yaya-tone that you only hear when I'm talking to friends. Then the girl on other end said, "No, I'm not Gina. I'm Ester, Senior manager of HR deptment from XXX company."
....
I quickly quipped "Oh sorry i thought you're one my friend" But her voice sound like Gina's. Even YY say so. Oh gosh, I was so down right embarassed and feel like I'm in a deep shit trouble. have not yet interview but already gave bad impression. My friends burst out with laughter when i told them it's the HR woman whom we met at that security career talk some weeks ago. I have been called to come down for an interview next Wednesday. Can you believe it? Just as I get started up on my study gear now, out of the sudden I still have to prepare myself for this.
The moment I heard is interview, my hands were so freaking cold. I never have the real interview unless you counted the 15 min session that i had when i worked as temp in an insurance company. Oh boy, and this one is one hour long. I dunno how am i gonna survive it. The images of red carpet and one whole row of panelist waiting there to grill me alive, begin to flash through my mind. Am I been paranoid? I calm myself by telling me not to fuss so much about it cos I can treat this as a real life interview lesson.
But the package is attractive. It put on a great start on my career path working as an IT security support specialist and best of all, we can get to go oversea for training. Oh man, that is great isn't it. Got this guy told us that he went to new zealand for training and at the same time, get to see the places where the shooting of LOTR was. Shiok man.
But then I doubt I can cling the job. The IT guy told us that they would ask us more on technical knowledge so first of all, I have to pick up my networking book which I had just sold off few weeks ago and that means another trip to the school library and recap on computer security knowleage which i read last semester. So much things and I can only do this within one day. Secondly, when come to oral session, I can't perform. I can't talk strategically without giving me some time to think first. Unlilke Ms. C whose tongue's so glib. I think hers performance gonna put me down badly.
Nevertheless, wish me luck for this wednesday.
