(1) 'Is your asking salary negotiable? Because you don't have the relevant experience.'
(2) Having to wait at reception just because the interviewer feels the need to assert some authority
(3) Having to listen to cheena-piak receptionists go on (and on) about slimming pills while waiting for the fucker
(4) Having to sit and sweat in a suit while the interviewer saunters into the conference room in a cotton tank and skirt
(5) 'Where do you see yourself in 5 years?'. I have serious myopia, so 6 months at a time, ok?
(6) Having to fill in a 5-page application form detailing everything already listed on my CV, which incidently had already been sent through prior to the interview
(7) 'Where do you see yourself in 10 years?'
(8) 'What will you contribute to the company if you get the job?'. Pay me what I want, and I'll be your slave. Promise.
(9) 'What do you do in your spare time?'. Isn't 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, enough of an intrusion into my personal life?
(10) Realising while in the elevator after the interview that my lips looked like they'd suffered a second-degree burn from flaky lip gloss
I like the asking salary bit because you're screwed if u ask too much and screwed if u ask for too little.
Ah! Democracy!
Let's sing!
"One people, one nation, one Singapore
That's the way that we will be forevermore
Every creed and every race, has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore"
Woo!
bloody right. i was hovering in the mid-range, and they have the cheek to tell me i'll have to work late nights, weekends, do admin support for 25 countries until their budget for an admin officer is approved!
so i say, fuck em. yeah, fuck em.
