Today was my first time conducting interview for job seekers. It wasn't as easy as i thought. Struggling on whether i should put a tick on the interview form.
The job fair was conducted by North East CDC @ Jelutung CC. With such bad economy now, the response was overwhelming. Many of those i interviewed were either retrenched or homemakers who decided to work for the sake of helping release the burden of their family members. Simply could not imagine to encounter so many people from the manufacturing and electronics sector to come looking for jobs as retail associates. Some were really humble to even accept salary which are half of what they were paid from their previous job.
However, not all people are perfect. Some did not meet our requirements and i have to just say thank you and put their interview forms aside. It's pretty hard. Feeling upset for them yet i cannot put myself to accept their application. Now i realise how difficult a HR job is. It's not as simple as you think.
I do hope these job seekers will succeed in their job hunt. With their determination, i believe they will find the best job for themselves.

Study Study!!
I have made up my mind!! I will further study part time next year Jan. Will sign up for a Bachelor programme in Business (Marketing) with SIM. Degree awarded by RMIT. I come to realise that if i do not get a degree i am going no where in my career. It's really important to have a degree in today's society.
The course duration will be 2 years and up to 4 exemptions based on my Diploma. I am expecting a tough time as it's really not easy to juggle between my studies and work. I got to work double hard. No!! maybe even triple!!! it's kind of exciting that i will be going back to school yet worrying about coping with it. haha. =)

Never ending work
Work recently is never ending. One thing after another. Events after events. Though i had been with the company for coming 5 months but there are still things that is my first time doing. It's good to be busy because time flies. haha.
after 5 months i still find that managing people is the toughest task ever. but i do learn not to take things to heart. but just to do my job. some people are just plain jealous that i am younger but higher rank than them. so they will try to say nasty stuff and resort to uncivilised ways to trigger me. however, i cannot be bothered. their ultimate goal is to make me pissed off. so y should i fall into their trap. haha. "childish" is the word to describe them.
i am still in the learning phase. i am trying my best everyday. and i shall not be defeated by difficulties!
