Wednesday is the day for my 'job interview'. I am not even sure if I can call it that. For the past few days, I have been wondering how I got myself into this mess and wishing that I got out of it earlier.
The story began last week on Friday when my father told me to call my Uncle cos' he says he might have a job recommendation for me. Being the obedient person I was, I just called my Uncle without questions. He redirected me to a Mr. Chew. I still had no idea what was going on. Finally, I realized that Mr. Chew was hiring programmers.
At the mention of that dastardly 'p' word, I tried to worm my way out of it. I frankly told him that I was a fresh graduate with zero knowledge of the field; therefore, I lacked any sort of experience to partake in his most generous offer. I even added that I only knew Java, whereas he specifically said he wanted C+ programmers.
I thought that after that, I could get on with my life and go surf the net or something. To my surprise, Mr. Chew was not the least bit turned off and scheduled me for a 'appointment' on Wednesday (which is like today). He told me to bring my 'results' and left me with their company address before hanging up.
Wow, that was pretty insistent. I logged on the net and realized that the company, Artivision, was a rather large corporation that specialized in security programs. Now why would they need a guy like me? I already gave him sufficient reasons NOT to pick me and he still wanted to meet me. Are they expecting me to program some sort of security software for the CCTVs?
Oh, well. It's now pretty late to complain. I still have no idea what to bring for this 'appointment' (is it even a job interview?). I don't even have a proper resume ready and NUS has not issued me my results transcript yet. If it's a formal interview, I am gonna be so screwed appearing with just a slip of paper with some stuff I typed out within 30 minutes the night before. I just hope I don't make a fool out of myself.
And I still don't know how or why I am in this mess.
