Remember I was saying that I am looking for internship/temporary job for my upcoming semester break of 3 months?
I have applied a few jobs in Jobstreet, and none of them seemed to have any response. Just as I was about to give up working and decide to go learn some additional skills or language instead, I got a call from a company. An international company it is, with about 6500 companies all over the world, and has about 285k of employees with them.
Needless to say, I was rather happy, and excited, and worried. =(
(Did I tell you that the status shown in my Jobstreet application for this job was actually something similar to "rejected"? And all of a sudden, it became "under consideration". Heh. The first thing that I could think of? The company had interviewed a pool of candidates and none of them seems to [1] be qualified or [2]have the interest to take up the job. If it's the latter, I doubt the pay and work condition are attractive enough.)
And so, I informed my dad that I was gonna go for an interview tomorrow, and he started bombarding me with lots of questions.
Which company?
What do you do there?
How are you going there?
How many people are working there? (wtf he expects me to know this as well!)
And bla bla bla..
And then he went...
"Next time if you were to really apply for a full time job, look for a better company, a large one, one with good business prospects in the future."
I went wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf!
Tell me, having 285k of employees and 6500 companies all around the world, is this company not big enough? And if it doesn't have good business prospects, why would so many people work for them?
Tell me tell me tell me!
And so I went, "Dad, this company matches all the criterion that you've just said."
And he went, "But still, it is a company dealing with courier services (Hahaha see I cannot tahan and I am telling you the nature of business of this particular company! Take a wild guess of it's name!). How far can courier services provider go?"
And I went wtfknnbbqmcdkfcbaskinrobbinssalmonsashimi!
I think my dad expects me to become one of those people handling all those couriers, else why would he think that I should really bother if the company is dealing with courier services? For God's sake, I am only applying to be a HR Admin, or perhaps only one of them in the management, not those people delivering the documents. So why should I bother if its dealing with courier or other stuffs?
Also, if courier services don't make good money, I don't know what other businesses do. *sigh*
Sometimes, there are just reasons why parents are known as "old" folks eh?
