the Interview

The one week camping trip is finally over, this means that I have to start finding a job for the rest of the 2 months of vacation, unless I intend to rot away without doing anything this summer.

I went to a particular hotel for an interview on monday(4/6), along with chubbs, kai, and howard, and the intended job was supposed to be helping out in their recreation department @ $6/hr. However, for some reasons, we were told by the manager that the recreation department did not require so many labourers and told us if we mind going to other departments. We were fine with that, but since it was around lunch time, we were told to come back after lunch so that they can make the necessary arrangements.

It was slightly before 12pm when we left and were told to return at 2pm!! And I thought we were the only ones to have lunch breaks from 1130-1400. Anyway, when we returned, we were assigned to the housekeeping department. Kai and Howard were selected by the manager of the HR department to be bellhop, while chubbs and I were to be runners (bring things up to customers when they call).

We were then briefed by the manager of the housekeeping department about the job scope, work hours and pay. We were expected to work in shift and on alternate 5 and 6 days-week, and the pay was a meagre $950/month(+ whatever tips you get). Perhaps because they wanted to save up on the cpf contribution part.

On our way home, Howard was the first to voice out his reluctance to work and soon it triggered a chain reaction with Kai saying "if howard not going to work, then I will also quit", then chubbs says "if Kai is not working, then I also dowan.". This leaves me, and the outcome is pretty obvious, none of us accepted the job in the end.

It's back to the seas then, while I wait for confirmation from a job agency which DY RSM had introduced to me. The grass should be greener there.
