I finally got a job

Finally i got a job. Actually went to a few interview and got few job but this suited me the most. My first interview was to be a Shop Retail Assistant for a clothing store. Was interview by the owner and he is also the designer of the clothing for the store. The salary and weekly working day is ok just that feel my qualification and experience is wasted if i took this job. The second interview i suppose to attend is a fish therapy centre. Went all the way to find this therapy centre until we got lost and gave up. Wasted time and money and have to take cab back to town.
On the 7th of Oct which is Tuesday, i have an interview again. Went to this place which is quite far and end up did not attend the interview cos the working place is in an old shopping centre which is deserted and alot of empty lots. The place is very scary looking. Edward and Jess keep on laughing and reminded me why i always found job in those weird places. We bought a map for our convenience and the night before i saw on the map there's a crocodile farm around. We just walk up and try to find it and saw it's behind an old house selling cars. It's a small crocodile farm, i think most people also won't know the place or it's existence.
We walk into this place and keep thinking how much is the entrance fee, it's free actually and the signboard did mention something like Beware or Walk At Your Own Risk. We walk in then we realise the crocodile it's actually at the side only. It's like in the drain between the houses. We did not purposely go all the way to visit this Crocodile Farm... Look at all the croc... There's quite alot of different type of croc at the side and back of the house. The back of the house, the croc are more big in size again.
The croc seldom move and inside the office is actually a souvenir centre for the croc skin. They selling all the leather bags, wallet and keychain. After the interview that i suppose to went, we went to China Town area again. I have another interview again in that area. I thought all the way that i'm suppose to go to this Spa and Beauty centre. We keep on walking and finding and we come across this shop selling sundry and cutlery items. Edward told me next time if we have a place of our own we can come here and buy things, it's cheap. We keep on finding and i decided to call again. Guess what, the shop that sell the sundry and cutlery items is the shop that i suppose to go interview. Haha, i did not go cos the shop was a mayhem. Full of customer and tight. Edward told me, i should see how the owner scold the worker during busy time. Another weird and funny job i found...

We went to this shop to have herbal drinks around that area and look for more job. In China Town area at the Bridge area...Just walk around and see things until we did reach an Indian Quil. Did not go in as camera need to pay money.

The next day 8th of Oct, woke up early to bring Jess interview. Waited for her outside at the roadside. Hopefully she got the job. I got another interview later again, it's in a clinic. No idea what clinic is it until i went and it's dealing with those hyper active kid and those sociology stuff. It's run by a husband and wife team, told me that my qualification and experience is not suitable for them. Fun pic...

9th of Sept, got 2 interview to attend today. First went to Edward company office to take something. One thing come to one thing, he ask the lady whether there is any vacancy in the office, they say yes and i fill up form and went to interview. Everything went up well. My interview that i suppose to attend is at 11am and i was late for like 2 hours. I did not want to go already cos i was late and i thought punctuality is important. Edward persuaded me to attend so i just go. It's in another old shophouse and deserted area. I went interview and they want to sign me up straight away. Of cos, i won't do that so fast. It's a telemarketing job and it's not the job that i went for the interview. Told the guy that i need to consider first and did not went back. As for the another interview, i did not go cos Edward call up his sis and he mention it's a job for agent. All they do is give us a directory and we suppose to call up people and set up appointment.

10th of Sept, another interview to attend again. This went well, it's a big company dealing and supplying automobile spare parts. The area is quite far and also in housing area. The people is willing to hire but will get back to me before 6pm. In the mean time, i got the job in Edward office also as Account Assistant and they ask me to go after this. I decided to take this job as i know the location and the working environment. As for the other job, the people is willing to hire and did call me up but i already make up my mind. Finally found a job, now can think of the next step... One funny thing, Singapore is a big place, i wonder how i can end up working in the same company as him....
