What a horrible recruiter... not only did he lied about the position he had in mind... he did not even bother to check carefully the requirements... obviously a secretary under a MD who is a native Japanese would need a good grasp of the language... and how big can Singapore be? Why can't he get the point tat there is something known as MRT and bus? And didn't he read tat I am from NTU... which is in Boon Lay area? And to shift house just to get a job? He needs to re-study his recruitment basics... What really got me on my nerves was tat he openly discriminated against female working as engineers... No wonder he was desperately trying to talk me into trying out... so tat he could get 80% of wat I would get should I resign within 3 months or be terminated due to job misfit, which is very high as I dun even pass the basic requirements... I even told my mom... had I wanted to be a secretary... I would had stayed on the part time job after my 'A' levels, in which the supervisor is willing to train me from scratch...

So much so for getting excited over finally going for interview... there is another upcoming one... Sales Planning Officer for Murata in Yishun... which I am just attending as a training for my interview skills... could only hope tat the other engineering companies could get back to me fast... so this xiaoyang could see hope...
