I went for my UOB interview yesterday. I was quite not-so-the-very-prepared compared to many other interviews. Perhaps, I’m really kinda blur on banking stuff. The night before, I just asked Suk Mun about a lil on her job scope and she replied a brief one through sms, and I blahh almost whatever she had explained to me before this too. hee..
I woke up feeling sleepie as the weather is cold and nice to sleep in. Anyhow, I went out at around 10.20am from my place to the LRT. I reached Masjid Jamek and argh, it was raining heavily. I had my umbrella but my shoes were totally wet by the time I walked to Suk Mun’s branch which is opposite the LRT station. Happily I reached at 11am, went up to Level 6 and found out it was rather weird. I tried to call the HR personnel who sent me the email but she wasn’t in the office. A malay guy came out and I asked him, where is the interview held. He was kinda blur and I opened my file with a sticky note – having the HR personnel’s office no. and “Level 6, Jln Pudu Branch“. That guy said, “Ini Medan Pasar branch la. Pudu branch bukan dekat sini.” OMG!!!
I was panicking! Quickly sms Suk Mun and asked for her help to find the other branch’s person-in-charge number so I could call and say I might be late. (My interview slot is at 11.40am, however I was required to go half hour earlier for registration purposes.) I was totally panic, wanted to take a cab, then Suk Mun called and said take LRT is faster. I waited about 5 mins for the Star LRT. It was already 11.15am. Oh no…I gave them a call when I got in. Suk Mun told me how to find the branch after getting down from the Pudu station. Thankfully it wasn’t that far. About 5 mins walk.
I reached up to Level 6 (this time the correct venue) at 11.30am sharp! Phew! Quickly I filled in my particulars, did some simple attitude assessment and essay writing. The interview was pretty short too.
When it was over, I headed back to Masjid Jamek to take the change to Putra LRT. So I met up with Suk Mun first as she accompanied me for lunch.
What a “great” start of the day with heavy downpour of rain!
The night was great, went out with CF friends – Yee Wei, Justin, Joel, Polly and Suk Mun.
