WARNING: ANGRY POST AHEAD…WORDS SELECTION CAN BE HURTFUL TO SOME.
I believe you have been through interviews
If you never..then you must be very lucky ..that you got a job without having to go through the crazy procedures.
I personally hate interviews, specially those really formal interview (where no smile allowed, No jokes allowed ,only serious face)…lately my luck of bumping into these stupid interviews kinda flowing in like water…sigh…i felt like i just wasted my time so muchhhhhh…for instance like these ones:
NOTE: I will only tell you the worse one, well at least to me.
Feb 09: Media company in Kelana Jaya
Interviewer: The Company owner
Interview scheduled at 11am..he came in only at 11:45am. ( I hate waiting) He walked into the interview room and start asking questions,after so much time wasted at the end..not only i felt stupid but i also felt humilated.
1- He didn’t do his job. He basically didnt go through my resume, but just checked my previous job title and company without checking my experience and how long have i been with the company. He even said, oh i thought you have been working with the company for about a year or so when i have clearly i have mentioned it at my resume i have only 5 months experience in Event management.
2- Next he said im too old to learn new things…people at my age shouldn’t be learning new things anymore but should just stick to what i was doing before (for goodness sake… is there an age limit to gain experience and learn new things?)and that i should just be housewife and care for the house and husband only. Im like WTF!!!Im soooo pissed at his STUPID STATEMENT…i wish i could just tell him… if you dont want to hire me , you shouldn’t have asked me to come all the way here and waste my freaking time!
3-And then he asked me why don’t i try applying in the entertainment industry… Im like..what the hell is wrong with this person?? Asked me to come here and then asked me to go and try entertainment industry pula?? Dah tu, he repeats this over and over and over again….ok, ok..i get the hint! I dont get this freaking job..He should have the balls to just be honest with me..don’t have to waste my time kan?
Guess that is why his company is still at that level despite being in this line for almost 10 years now…padan muka dia!
All in all, not only i wasted my time, petrol and toll money, i felt humilated,angry and irritated, specially when he said im too old to learn new things and his belief that at the age of 27 i shouldn’t be learning new stuff anymore but should just stick to what i was doing or just become a TAI TAI at home! URGGGG…i hate time waster! I guess you know the result, i was not hired. BECAUSE 27 IS TOOOOO OLD TO LEARN NEW THINGS!
March09 : Sport Club in Klang
Interviewer: Sport and recreactional manager( bull dog woman), Hr manager(dumb one) and another manager ( the quiet one)
Interview was suppose to happen at 7pm..everyone was late(the interviewer that is). I didnt know that i have 3 judges in front of me..i thought this would be one on one interview. I never like 3 versus 1 interview or 2 versus 1..i always prefer 1 on 1 interview. More personal and not too intimidating…3 lawan 1, makes me feel like im being interogated by policemen for some crime i did..
This interview, i think talking to a wall is sooooo much better than talking to these clowns…seriously! Let me tell you why…
7:15pm
Hr Manager and Quiet Manager “This nick name suits them very well”
Talking to them is like you playing tennis in a big open court all by yourself and still somehow hoping that the tennis ball will bounce back to you automatically,LOL! Basically what im trying to say here is that the question and answer session was like a dead conversation. It is just one way ticket! Can you imagine how boring is that? And this is coming from a SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB MANAGER AND HR??!!! I guess that tells you why the club is LITERALLY DEAD!
7:30 pm
BULL DOG woman came into the interview room LATE!
She doesnt smile,her face was soo fierce,ense,unfriendly and arrogant and she gives you this feeling “she knows everything and she is the best” She was already 30 min late for the interview , didnt have time to go through my resume but she act like she knows it all and sounding very bossy. Again, may i remind you readers…this is SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB ya… you would expect Sport and recreactional manager to be toned and fit…but hahahahahhahahahahahah..this manager doesnt look anything like sport manager but more like MAKAN sport manager…GEMUK!
Her favourite questions: What is your expected salary and what can you contribute to the company? OK questions, right?
But i want you to imagine this, someone who came in late, didnt have time to read your resume, but act like she knows it all, looked down at you, treat you like you have no experienced in fitness or sport industry which clearly you have ( maybe even more than hers) and gives you this one irritating look that you wish to just pull her eyeballs out from her eye socket…would you like it ? On top of that …love to give you hanging questionaire… how would you react to it?
She asked me the same question( questions above) TWICE in space of 10 mins!
Bull Dog said: About the salary, i saw that you wrote here RMxxxx, what if i say i can’t afford to pay you the amount you asked for?
Me: I understand, hence why i wrote there, its negotiable.
Bull Dog: So how much are you willing to be paid for if i can’t afford to pay you the amount.
Me: Well, depends on how much can you offer me, i wouldn’t want to say yes without knowing how much can YOU offer me. ( i smile at her, but in my mind i cant help but think… she really need some sexercise and let that blood flow into her brain again)
Bulldog: Like i said i cant pay you the amount, so how much are you willing to get?? ( sounding irritated)
Me: Well i was hoping that you could put down a price and will see from there and maybe we can negotiate??
“no answer from bulldog”
Me: Rmxxxx would be the min.
Bulldog.silent for while and then asked.
Bull dog: What can you contribute to the company if we bring you in here?
Me: Well, it depends. What do you mean by contribute. In what ways..sales? Sports? events?management??
“No answer from bulldog so i decided to go on”
I can definitely generate more club revenue by giving you more classes, sports activities, bla bla bla….(of cos i didnt say bla bla bla in interview, malas mau type) This will keep your members active and happy. By doing so, more happy members, more introductions to the club..means more members for us to recruit.
Bulldog woman went silents… she seems to be thinking or processing what i’ve just said to her..maybe she is trying to copy that idea and make it her idea kut…entah la..
Dumb HR and queit Manager turns to asked me questions, again i feel like im playing tennis all alone in an open court without any opponent. How sad…. “krik, krik, krik”
Suddenly bulldog cuts in the conversation
Bulldog: So what is your expected salary???
Me: “In my heart” What??!!! Didn’t i just answer dumbo that questions, how irritating is this?? At last i said, well you need to tell me what is the price that you can offer so i can tell you from there.. i can’t be saying RMXXXX but you still cant pay me..why don’t we negotiate and see from there..after all thats what nego is all about.
Bulldog: How about RMxxxx?
Me: Sorry, i wont take that offer as i am worth more than that. ” I have freaking 8 years experience and bulldog only giving me some fresh graduate amount of salary???!!! Would you take it if it was you???”
Bulldog: Since you say you are worth more than that, what can you contribute to the company?
Me: “in my heart” Is she deaf or just plain dumb?? mannnn she really needs some SEXERCISE……. i am totally irritated at her already…
Me: Erm…i believe i have answer that question ealier on, but maybe you didnt get it. Perhaps you could tell me exactly what do you mean by” what can i contribute to the company?”? Since it is obvious that my first answer was not the answer that you looking for…Is it on the sales department?
Bulldog: No….
“Krik, krik, krik”
me: Ok then, since i do not know your club enviroment or members, i would not want to act like some smart pants here and simply change everything….i would stick to my answer earlier on.. i would offer more activities for your members I.E. family day, sports day, more earobic classses with certified instructors so on and so forth. Since this is a SPORT AND RECREATIONAL CLUB… it is only right to have more activities for your members to join and have fun and it should be done at least 3 months once not once a year…”looked at bulldog, trying to hint to the queit manager that she needs to get her fat ass moving and exercising if not sexercising!”
Hr manager nad queit manager: Nods and smile…not to the sexercising part but to my idea of having activities plan all the time.
At this point..i dont give a damn about the job anymore..i dont care if im politically right or what ever you call it..but i was ready to berperang mulut with this BULLDOG lady speaking with some stupid slang on…URG!!!
To BULLDOG,
CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Not only you proved you are one big fat bossy,arrogant manager..but you also prove to me that you are one dumb boss to work with….
Right there and then i told myself..even if they would offer me this job..i would turn them down 100% unless if bulldog is no longer working with that company,i may reconsider. ENOUGH working with THICKOS.
I think checking what’s Outer Banks rentals about is better than thinking about them now..

It sounds like this bulldog was forced to hire fresh blood by management seeing that she has failed so far, hence the “period” interview.

Me likey this post very much.
I think the g.e.m.u.k manager is pekak la if not she is totally stupid. hehe
I am guessing everyone in that organisation doesn’t like her either hence the silence.
Anyway, don’t give up yea.
