What kind of love are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are pure love. Pure and deep. You not only want
to but NEED to find your one true love. You are
not afraid of any challenge for your love, and
it is something to truly treasure.
quote-a-pro
"I've never been so far from my dream than when I was standing right beside it"
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again"
"Ten fingers, ten toes, that was all that mattered. They don't say that now"
-- Quotes from GATTACA
"Love is like an apple; it has been more than 300 years since an apple dropped and hit someone randomly"

Positive Thinking
Yesterday, during the outing with the HJC gang, I begged XL to help train me for interviews, which I really suck at. And then, this morning, in 桃色蛋白质, the theme was on interviews for the dummies.
I must admit that I suck at interviews (and talking the 'politically correct' way) that what I got from the show were stuff that I didn't know in the past. ok, perhaps I had heard from seminars and workshops that I should do XXX or YYY, but they never taught us the exact words and such, only telling us to use our imagination. Basically, they didn't teach me anything.
For example, "Why did you quit your last job?". We were told "focus on the plus side of the company you are working on and what you hope to benefit from it which you can't get from the old company".
To me, that was 说了等于没说.
But on the show, the guy replied something like: I wish to upgrade myself and expand my potential with the company.
OR, the part about negotiating the salary: what if the salary offered was somewhat lower than your expectation? How should we react when we would like to have more of that?
The official answer given was: "I really hope to join your company and I believe I will be able to gain quite a lot from you. At the same time, I would also like to know whether I will get a pay raise when I perform better than expectations".
Of course, I will have to collate and remember the various standard answers myself. If not, I will definitely continue to die in interviews and never land myself in a decent job.
So, I was also thinking of other answers I could give. But for one, my working experience is limited. What's more, my army profile isn't exactly as powerful as my peers. I will definitely lose out in terms of that.
What's a storeman to brag about when my friends are mostly specs and officers?
yup, perhaps my greatest failure in life will be to be a storeman+armskoteman.
But hey! I excelled as a service personnel ok? I was involved in commercial stocktaking when I was a storeman and internal stocktake when I was an armskoteman and in both cases, I got A. Is that ok? It shows how good my management skills are and how good my interpersonal skills (like real) are at getting people to lend me stuff that I lack in.
Frankly speaking, I used to think that getting an A was not really something to brag about. Perhaps A is a common grade, something that the majority of the stores in Singapore army camps get. It's getting lower than A that will be worth contemplating.
But considering the various stores that I have been: brunei and ITI, I must say my store shines. My store is CLEAN, ORDERLY and my stores are in great condition. How else did I get the A then?
Never mind that my signal store was orderly in the 1st place. Nevermind that I had the help of my CSM and colleague. In an interview, it's a one-man-show.
