Earlier today (officially it's yesterday), I had an interview at Marine Parade Community Library.
When I was preparing my things before I left, I was actually contemplating on not going for the interview at all. I had already resolved and had already accepted and am satisfied that I've got the MOM job, so I didn't want the library interview to ruin things for me. But my mother insisted that I still go. She would rather I work I work at the library than at MOM any day. She pointed out to me all the advantages of working at the library. And I had to agree with her; that made me question my choice of accepting the MOM job. But I didn't want to listen to her too much because I didn't want to have any second thoughts about MOM. But, usually, when my mother has a good feeling about something, it usually comes true. So I was a bit weary going to the interview.
There were 4 interviewers. 2 of them wore tudung and the other 2 were Chinese. It was only after the interview, when I described the 2 Malay women to my mother, that I found out that they were my mother's schoolmates. They know each other, but they didn't know about me, which was a lucky thing.
It was during the middle of the interview, when one of the interviewers said to me that she still couldn't get a feel of what my personality was like. And she said that it is important that I show to people that I am approachable because I would be dealing with a lot of customers. And then she said that the job is mainly dealing with customers.
When I heard that, I was thinking that it is definitely not my cup of tea. But still, I had to give the impression that I was very interested and keen to deal with customers. I was bullshitting all the way. I mean come on la, I'm not a people person. But I'm trying to change because my MOM job will require me to interact with all levels of employees and employers.
As I had expected, the working hours is based on rotational shift. I asked them whether I could make a request for them to accommodate my part-time degree course. When they heard that it would be 3 times a week, they told me that it would be very difficult for them to arrange it so.
Oh well, I didn't really want the job anyway, so it wasn't a loss for me. Guess my mother's wrong this time. All the more, this is another sign that I'm meant to work at MOM. =D
