During the morning, I had received a phone call from HSBC Malaysia and they are offering for a jobs that related to Electronic Data Processing and Global Support Executive in Cyberjaya. Well, they only ask for my SPM certificate and wondered whether I am interest for the job as it was offering around RM2,000 to RM2,200 with extra incentive if your performance is good. However, it was a shift type of job as the working is from 9am to 9pm or 3pm to 12am midnight depend on various scenario. Anyway, I had turned down the offer when it is related to telemarketing partly because of my "ego" because the requirement was just SPM and this make me felt that my degree cert would be a waste based on my assumption. After some moment, I received another call from Zalora Malaysia that I had previously applied at Jobstreet.
Well, they employer asked me to go for the interview today when they just received the application and I felt it is so sudden as I'm not prepared. Anyway, I accepted to go since he say let me decide the time as he will work until night time. Therefore I quickly do a research about the Zalora company again although I know they are from Internet Rocket company that related to cloning website. During the afternoon, my father fetched me to the location and I heard some bad news. The only thing that I could told myself to be more responsible for every action (积极) as my parent is aging. After I had printed all the necessary document and my photo for RM24, we make a move around 3.30pm and reached the Southgate Commercial Center at 4.40pm although I thought it was in another building in Jalan Dua Chan Sow Lin. (the worker from the printing company didn't work for this few day because there is not much demand due to the deteriorate / downturn of the company, which eventually lead to closing down soon as my father would be jobless?)
As I arrived there, I tried to call the employer but the phone is not available. Therefore I just asked the nearby guards and they told me that it is located at block A. The office is at the fifth floor and I was require to write down my detail to get the interview pass. When I saw my interviewee, he was talking on the phone and I heard some conversation as he preferred people who graduate from United States. Well, he briefly look through my resume and asked why I didn't have the British ascent as I am graduated from UK. Then I just continue to explain my job task in previous company but he seems like not interested with it as I can sense it might be useless for him. Seriously it seems to be a wrong position because the company is Easy Taxi instead of Zalora that is mentioned in the Jobstreet.
Apparently I just realized that all of them was in the same parent company that is Rocket Internet and the floor is divided into four division which is Zalora, Lazada, Foodpanda and EasyTaxi.
In short, I seems to lack of the market requirement standard from the employer point of view. Furthermore, I do get some advice from the employer when I asked whether it is possible for me to join Zalora or Lazada but he said that their level is far more advance than them. Some of the employer are from International company and well known brand such as Google and the Italian employer was known as keyword genius. Sometime I do wondered how to differentiate the people that is worth few million and people like me since we have the same 24 hour everyday. Perhaps the key is to do something extraordinary because if you are working average, you will be getting that average as there is no question to be asked after that. Later on in the evening, we went to the coffee shop at the downstair and I asked whether what I need to improve.
It seems that he could see that I so "unsure" for my personality through the words I said. He still wondering whether want to "bet on me" by hiring me but it would be hard for them to offer my preferred salary. Furthermore, he doubt about my capability whether why my previous company could pay me more without my degree certificate. His current offer to me was about RM2,100 and it is related to asking taxi to sign up the apps deal with them. On the other hand, he do used a lot of vulgars word but it seems to be quite true such as "I don't care what the fxxk that your qualification is because the most important thing is what can you provide to the company" and others stuff. The things that I felt lack of was probably because he is far ore mature than me as a 25 years old guy and have huge connection such as Groupon boss.
Around 6.40pm I make a move from there after I thanked him for giving an opportunity for interview. During the moment at the car, I didn't talk much with my father when he asked me how was my interview because it was not really good. After some moment, I felt guilty for thinking in a not very good way. In fact, I shall think in a positive way that I'm grateful to have a father who waited me for the entire interview session and fetched me back home. If one day my father read my blog post especially this post, I hope he could understand me as I know it was my fault. He was right that I should be gratitude to have the chance to study oversea and travel because back in his days, there were not much opportunity and my grandparent didn't communicate much with them.
For now, I strongly agree that a person character/personality was built when they are young. As you grow older, there will be more and more stuff that you need to think about and I found out that this could be the reason why there is not much people will blog daily unless it is can provide a good value. Sometime I wish that I had not started writing this from the beginning although I was wishing someone could do it for me. Could you imagine that you are able to read someone life and it can help you save your "accused road" (冤枉路) when you decide that it is not right. It is just like people who work in those "win 2 scratch" (kua kua le) stuff because they was too naive to think that the company they work for is right. Finally I arrived home at 8.30pm when the traffic on the road was so jammed.
Isn't it irony that you kept telling yourself not to compare with others but you doing it? For instance, friends who work in purchasing, merchandising, banking could earn around RM2,500 with their degree cert while friend from engineering are earning $2500 (RM6500) in Singapore with the same UK university. Perhaps I start to understand why some friends are willing to accept the RM1,500~RM2,000 job with their UK cert by lowering down their "ego" although it spoil the degree qualification job market. (You still have a chance to work as a waiter in UK and earning a clear profit of RM6,000 as an illegal worker) Besides, I might make a mistake for not working in internship company for RM500 during my advance diploma year. Hence, I shall take the consequences now. What a day I have for categorise myself in a "price tag" as I was no different with other people who trade the time for money. At last, there are two more job interview and my confidence did drop a little for applying the senior position. (沒有醬大的头就不要学人家帶那么大的帽子? 2 hour wasted on writing this post that started at 10pm, yet I still do it again? pluck coconut? take the consequences for writing? sooner or later I shall be disappeared in here)
