I had another interview in the morning today......and guess where it was??? It's at Singapore Technologies Electronics again but this time it is another subsidiary company and the post that I am interviewing for is Software Engineer (Graphics). I arrived there at 9.45am and as usual I had to go to the guardhouse and surrender my IC, call up the person and wait in the guardhouse for the person to escort me to the office for the interview. The person came and then escorted me to a meeting room and then to my surprise, handed me a C++ programming test to do!!!She then left me in the room and then said she will come back in an hour!!!! Hmm......It has been 1 and a half years since my last C++ lecture/lab so I was a bit rusty liao!!! And the test was even harder than my exams man!!! After the test, I filled up the application form and then two people came to interview me and one was an ang mo....they asked me some difficult questions which I didn’t really know how to answer so I just hamtum lah......well.....I think dun have much chance for this interview lah.....so hope for the best anyway lah........

After the interview, I had to travel all the way to the other end of the island which is jurong point for my lunch and then go back to work on my temp job........When I was at the boon lay interchange and about to go take the bus 257, I saw someone familiar and it turned out to be my poly classmate Cindy!!!!!! She was also going to take the same bus and me and to my surprise she is also going to the same company as me which is Carrier!!!! She was going there for an interview for the post of QA Engineer. I was surprised that she is looking to change jobs cos I think she just changed job not too long ago!!! She went for the interview and was offered the job but she still has to consider because the main factor affecting her decision is the distance as she lives in hougang!!!

Yesterday was my Birthday!!! And I had a interview at ST Electronics in the morning so I had to tell my supervisior that I will go to work later.... Well, I guess it is a very good birthday present for me......but on the other hand, the interview came on the 4th day that I started my temp job!!! While I was waiting at home for 2 months, no one called me up for an interview.........Once I start work only, then they want to call me.....hai........Anyway, the post that I applied for was for a software engineer....The interview went quite okie and the interviewer told me that by next friday I would know whether I am being shortlisted or not.......

After my interview, I made my way to Tuas from ST Electronics at Ang Mo Kio and went back to work. Barely after 3 hours in the office, the company called me again and asked me to go for a second interview at 5.30pm!!! I was delighted and went down for the interview only to find out that the second interview was for another post cos the interviewer in the morning thinks that I am more suited for this post and passed my details to another department.........

I found a temporary job!!!!! Today is my first day of work at Carrier.....I got this job from the job agency which I went last thursday and they call me up on friday to inform me of this job and ask me to go down to their office to sign a one month contract.......well....since I am still jobless at the moment, I might as well just go for it while still on the lookout for a permanet job........The pay is $7 per hour otherwise if I stay at home, it will be $0 per hour.......ha ha.......I took a bus in the morning to boon lay and took a taxi to the place since the person from the agency told me that the taxi fare can be claimed on the first day but she emphasised that it must be from boon lay and not from my home!!! ha ha......The factory is located at Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim and it is producing air con for those containers....hmmm.....when I was brought to the warehouse office, I do not have my own table and also do not have a computer so I was asked to sit in a corner which is actually the rest corner for the staff to rest during break time I guess.......Well....I was assigned to do some reading in the morning on the project that I am supposed to do and in the afternoon I was still doing the same thing cos the person in charge of this took half day leave and so I had nothing else to do and so I had to continue to "read" the stuff that I have already read in the moring and I was just waiting for the time to pass and go home.........knock off at 5pm and took the company bus home....there is a drop off point at Hillview Ave and it is one bus stop away from my house......
