Difficult Decisions

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.
