I got a job offer! Yay!
Wah so lucky.. got job offer! Heh heh!
As many you know, i have been hunting for jobs. And well, after a month of sending out resumes, i got a job offer from HSA. It hasn't been easy finding jobs. Along the way, i have met 'funny funny' employers. There was one employer who interviewed me for a different position, another who gave me super tough questions and made me feel so small.
There was also one manager of a company who had arrogant attitude and think she is some BIG SHOT in the company. Anyway, the company is located in Xerox Fuji Towers. The company is dealing with insurance. Man..that interview really pissed me off. Most importantly, i felt the company was a bit fishy. The employees were all very young, meaning all less than 35 years old. The managers wear casual wear to work! I haven't seen any organisation that disallows employees to wear 3/4 pants. I got a feeling i wouldn't like the culture there. That company didn't reflect a learning and nurturing culture.
So looking at the manager's shitty looking face, i told her straight in the face..."I DON'T WISH TO WASTE MY TIME BEING INTERVIEWED." That arrogant manager replied me with that shitty arrogant face.. "I DON'T WISH TO WASTE MY TIME INTERVIEWING YOU TOO" and left the interviewing room. How diligent.
But really, i feel employees working there don't stay for long. No point. I don't regret what i said to that manager.
HSA was different. I got the job through a job agency.
HSA is a statutory board. So a few things in a stat board are sure gauranteed.
1. Learning and nurturing culture. Stat boards are supposed to have People Developer Accreditation.
2. Match policy pay.
3. Nice working environment.
4. Opportunities for training and development.
How the interview went? Wanna know?
Well, it is a 6 months contract position for management support officer(Human Resource Department). Of which after completing the 6 months contract, i could be considered a Permanent Contract staff for 3 years.
The interviewer gave me a set of questions and i had to pick one question. I was to write an essay. I chose the question.."why do you need a HRM function in an organisation".. Wah! That question looked like the first question in the first tutorial of SHRM. Haha!
I completed it and the interviewer came in later. She was impressed with my standard of written english. She later mentioned that the essay test was used to test my profiency of written english. The position was needed someone who could write letters. No wonder..
She told me about the scope of the job. And well, it covers all aspects of HR. Sounds good to me!
I will have opportunities to be groomed. Sounds good! Pay is market rate! Not too bad! I have will have opportunities to be part of the shared services project. Nice! NDC is next door! Man.. i could go for braces appointment without taking leave! And the best part... I could take a maximum of 3 weeks leave once i finish my 6 months contract work and come back to work again! SIBEI STEADY!
So it was all good.
And yes.. Rajiv miniskirt poem is corny.. haha! As usual.
Alrighty i'm out to study. Outtie Mabelline.
