Job Hunting

Yup! I'm not a student anymore, it's the time to face the reality.

GO TO GET A JOB!! 

But dare to dream, don't let the reality kill it! I have sent out my resume *special thanks to LIZ* to many companies, like what I said in the last post. But still don't have company replies me. *SAD*

Few days ago, my ex-supervisor, Lyn called me and asked whether want to work as part time at Essence Communications. *the PR firm that I went for internship*
When I got her call, I was like, there's an angel came to rescue me! What a wonderful world. And then, guess what? I accepted the offer and went to office for interview.

I went to the office on Thurday (20th June 2013) and all my ex-colleagues were so happy and gave me a warm welcome! Of course, there has some faces that I never seen before I left there. Then, I met the HR Manager to talk about the salary. I won't say the salary that she offered me at here, but I'm going to say that... it's quite low, which it's out of my expectation. Since I was an intern and have experience with the job scope, I thought I can get a higher salary, maybe RM1,500? *work full time* But, I was wrong!

I was a little bit upset and try to deal with her in the phone yesterday afternoon. But still, not the amount that I want. Maybe I can talk with the finance manager on Monday. Hopefully everything can go smoothly.

Another thing that I want to say is, I sent my resume to Lewis PR Kuala Lumpur! OMG! It's a global PR firm and I sent my resume to them! I think I'm crazy! Really hope that they will call me and ask me go for interview. I'm very excited now! Please, please, please! Please get them to call me! *praying very hard*

I really hope that I can start my career with a good job, good company and of course, good salary. LOL.
Am I greedy? Absolutely NOT! Everyone is greedy because we want to have a good life!

So, wish me GOOD LUCK and pray for me!

Job Interview

Last week I sent out my resume to few companies, eg: Nuffnang, Media Prima, Melody FM etc. Finally there's someone calling me for the interview but not the company that I want.

It's SIN CHEW DAILY. The lady called me to interview for news editor on Friday (14th June 2013) 12PM at their HQ, Petaling Jaya. I was very excited and asked Jeannie to accompany me. *THANKS*

During that day, I wasn't nervous at all. Maybe is because the interview was conducted by Mandarin and this is not the job that I want. 

A man, Mr Bai interviewed me. I think he is the head for news editorial department. He photocopied my secondary school and university result. After that he asked a lot of questions and interviewed me for 1 hour. Below are some of the questions: 
- Do you understand an editor's job scope? 
- Why do you choose editor as your job? 
- Please say out the current hot news. 
- Can you accept the working hours? (2pm - 10pm++) 
- Bla bla bla...

Luckily I read newspaper and watch 新闻报报看 everyday. I still could listed out few hot topics and answered his questions with my basic knowledge (?). LOL. 

Then he asked me to take a test for 2 hours. I was like, "WHAT?! Okie, WONG LING CHING. Calm down, it's not a big deal." 

1) It asked me to write an 800-words-essay, "Why I choose to become an editor?" So I blew waterrrr.
2) There are few questions for general knowledge, eg: Najib is from which state? 
3) Fill in the idiom and correct the wrong words. 
4) Create a title for 4 news. 
5) Translate an English news to Chinese news. 

I admit. I used Google for most of the general-knowledge-questions and Google Translate for the translation. GOOGLE, you are the best teacher in the world! Love you so much! 

So, I done the test and went for lunch with Jeannie. Yes, she was waiting me for almost 3 hours at the lobby. We went to Antipodean and ordered a lot of dishes! All dishes were very delicious except one -- the WEIRD salad!! Maybe it's not the salad that suit us. 

Grilled Chicken. RM19.
The tomatoes are so juicy and sweet! 

The BIG Breakfast which strongly recommended by Jeannie.
RM 20. It's really a big portion of breakfast! 

The WEIRD salad. RM19.
It has cheese, figs, tomatoes, chicken ham, olive oil and GREEN ROCKET.
Now I know the vege called GREEN ROCKET.

The Healthy Juice. RM12.
Strawberry, banana and orange. It's so tasty! 

That's all. I want to crawl to my bed now. My legs are freaking pain as I just finished my promoter job. Tomorrow is the last day for the Sensodyne Project! Yeah! *I'm a Sensodyne promoter*

暂时的无业游民

是的。现在的我是无业游民,不再是大学生了。
读了将近15年的书,终于画下句点了。

5月中,和华乐团的大家去了邦咯岛游玩。
它,并不是我想象中的海边。
由于邦咯岛是渔村,所以海水没那么蓝,沙滩没那么干净。
有点小失望啊。
这次的旅行跟以往的有点不一样,因为其中的两人 -- 小菜和宇建拍拖了!
所以啊,气氛就有点怪咯。不过,还是玩到很疯啦!

青春的大家

喜欢这种平静
各位,有缘再相见啦!

之后的几个星期,都在做promoter啊。
钱呐!为什么你那么难赚?!

朋友们都陆续毕业了,有些也找到工作了。
我呢,才刚刚寄出履历表。
希望会有回复啦!
