Interview session.... got me thinking...

This is interesting... a new layout to the blogspot that seems  very different from the previous that i once knew...perhaps its cuz I haven't been writing for quite abit which is cuz life is super super busy... anyways, nice surprise with the change & in fact i like it... easier to use, clean & straight forward... nice...

OK... so about a week back I got a call while sitting in the office. The number was an unknown one, which i get all the time cuz I give my numbers to my clients. Alright, so i picked the le call & a hunter hunter tells me that he's got a job for me. Abit skeptical on what the employer could offer, i listened on...

So the usual stuff goes by... update resume & send it through.... employer does first round of phone interview screening & hullah....

One week later, I am parking my car at 1Mont Kiara... which is where Im suppose have the interview appt. First i meet the HR & then comes the Country Manager... it was a lengthy discussion where i spent 2 hours of my life : Listening, Asking.... back and forth. Well, if you're wondering how exactly did the interview go? I would have told u it was alright but the discussion that transpired during the interview left me with couple of thoughts :

1. Is age really that much of a concern to an employer?
2. Whats the correct way to attend an interview? As in mindset & attitude....
3. What do I really want to be doing?
4. Which path do i want to head in career advancement?

Well, during the last part of the interview session - I was quite agitated for some reason. The 'country manager' who I thought was ok, trying his part to be not overly formal did pretty ok at first. But coming to point 1, i felt belittled that age was bought into question. Shouldnt experience & track record be the first consideration & not age... because in the end the age would just be a number. Having said that a 30 year old might not be as mature as a 18 year old, just because somebody might be older... they are a wiser cuz its the maturity that counts.

At this point of time, a week has past & I am waiting to see what they have to say and what they have to offer. Either way, there is a plus & minus point about job which if they do offer me... it would be a tough call to make. There is where 3 & 4 comes into the background... Making a decision which potentially steer life's direction accordingly. Till then, fingers cross + just doing the routine "Same Shit Different Day" job.

Good nite peeps !! Just ranting & penning it down in writing...
