So today, I went to a new company to apply for a job.
When I told the guard that I would be submitting my resume & apply for a job, she told me to deposit my bag first to the lockers beside another guard. So the guy guard gave me a number & pointed the corresponding locker to deposit my bag. I told him I'll leave my wallet & mobile phone in my bag, he nodded. I asked him if my stuff would be safe 'coz there's no lock in the locker, he nodded. Clearly not a man of many words.
So I returned to the lady-guard, registered my name, address & the position I was applying for.
I was told to sit. I sat & watched old Friends episodes from the waiting area's big, flat-screen.
The wait was not long, my name was called along with 8 other applicants. The first 4 were interviewed, and I chatted with the remaining 4. One was applying for an Operations Manager (Collections), one was a high school undergrad applying for her first job, another was a tutorial center teacher applying for her first BPO job, and the last was an experienced agent.
The first four's interview was quick & they left the interview room. The rest of us, save the experienced agent entered the interview room.
The questions were:
1. What position we were applying for.
2. Where learned of the company.
3. Describe ourselves.
The Ops Mgr applicant was dispatched first, he should wait for a call. The tutorial teacher was also told to wait for a call, if she did not receive a call, she did not meet the company's requirements. The 'fresh meat' & I were told to wait for the exam.
On the exam room, we were given 3 computer-based exams & 1 pencil-paper test. Some of us (yes, including myself) were not really listening to the examiner's instructions & proceeded to the second part of the computer-based exam. Haha!
Anyway, we were told we all passed. A quiet sigh of relief. The examiner was surprised because there was no audible reaction. We nervously laughed. We were given our interview dates & times, then we all parted ways.
Since I was in the area, hungry though I was, I decided to visit this MT school & inquire, I've read that they offer scholarship so, what the heck, might as well try!
It was 12:30 pm by then, I haven't eaten yet. I had not dined the night before, I only ate porridge & some brewad for breakfast. I really was hungry!
The training coordinator was very nice & explained the details well. I asked for scholarship details & I was told to take the scholarship exam. I was like, 'uhm, right now?'. So I went for it. It was HARD! Especially the math part. I bombed in high school & college math!
After my exam, I returned my answer sheet & the test booklet. I was told to expect a call tomorrow. Oh I do HOPE I PASS!!!
Lesson/s learned:
Never take tests when you're hungry.
Bring crackers/cookies/biscuits to tide you over while waiting.
