God is a comedian playing to an audience thats too afraid to laugh.
but i will laugh damn it. becos the alternative means being cranky. and i dont like being cranky.
in the past 3 weeks i have been going for these things you go to to get a job. there are people there, and they are supposed to ask you INTELIGENT questions about yourself (the word to highlight here is 'supposed'). i happen to know this having actually interviewed quite a few people myself.
some of 'em were brilliant. they command respect without being arrogant, they ask the right questions, although some might be tough....but most of all they did their homework and are prepared to look for the best person possible to contribute to their organisation.
and then there are the others. somehow my brother's major in uni came up. my parents personal life, my age (apparently i'm to young to know what i know) - for that i nearly reached across the damn table and strangled it (the person in question doesn't deserve a gender).
i am sure this situation isn't a unique one, having heard horror stories from friends...so i'm sure you guys feel me lah..just wanted you to know that you do not walk alone..lone....lone..lone..(echo fades out).

Ehh how come they can ask about your age, ur family etc??Here it's actually against the law to do so if they do we can report it and they can get into big trouble..looking for a new job??
yeah,,,,its quite crap here. i actually went into an interview with an employer, and the stuff she ask the potential employee was crazy. she asked abt parents, what the parents do, what does the siblings do, why u are divorced etc etc....i felt so embarass sitting in in the interview!
WOW...juan so is it against the law for them to ask those questions or people actaully don't care? I suppose if u tell people it's my private problem or something they won't hire you..SO damn busy body lahh these people..
sunshine: this is malaysia. if it is customary for people to go up to a tall person and say "WAH, YOU VERY TALL HOH?" then i guess we've still got a lo-ong way to go lah..and where got such thing as law oneeeee?babes, you been overseas too long lah..:D
