I had my interview at C******k at 11am. A lady interviewed me for around 10 minutes and left me with a test paper! My, it’s so difficult. After I turned all pages, my first thought was oh, I am going to fail!

I haven’t sat for a test for a long time and neither was I prepared for it. It took me quite long to figure out what the questions actually asking. And I forgot what was ER Diagram but I figured out later that they wanted me to draw tables. Not so bad.

 

 

 

Then there’s coding as well! Write out 3 functions to generate factorial numbers, fibonacci and prime numbers. I cracked my head to think what is fibonnaci. I just read it in the Da Vinci Code! Then I sms BARB & asked her what’s that.

 

She replied me ‘Recursive call of function. Like factorial’. Her next sms is ‘F(n) = f(n-1) - F(n+2) F is function’. I decided to try my own codes and I wasn’t sure if it’s correct or not. Then there’s this objective IQ test.

 

‘If a star and a quarter get a wish and a quarter in a day and a quarter. How many days do 5 stars need to get 30 wishes?’ I chose 6. Correct? After that have to write an essay on my career objective, where do I see myself in 5 years, how do my current job helps me and what did I learn & what’s my strengh =S

 

I didn’t answer a part about how to control and manage expenses of a company! My, I’m only applying for MIS position. There’s another objective attitude test. It took me 2 full hours to finish the test.

 

Exhausted, the lady told me to take a break and come in for 2nd interview! I quickly had lunch at a small shop after I failed to search for McDonald. I saw the big sign out there but couldn’t find it. The second interview was by two MIS guys.

 

It was quite okay. Most of the time they just scared me on how late I’ll have to work. Normal going off time is around 9pm. Sometimes till midnite. My job scope will be about extracting enormous data to excel and how stressful it gonna be.

 

They’re expecting a very commited candidate and very responsible. Then, again and again they stressed on the oh-very-long working hour. They let me go after around 20 minutes. I pratically skipped my way out the door.

 

I went for my second interview with a recruitment agency in Wisma Cosway. K is a very nice lady, although I expected her to be someone my age. She made me very comfortable and went through stuffs with me very nicely.

 

She even made me felt good about myself even though she has no suitable job for me. BARB said they’re supposed to make u feel good. So, I was done with my interviews by 4pm. =) Again, I skipped my way out~
