My Interview

Yes, I am out looking for a job again!  I’ve applied for a few jobs in December and one of the companies called me up for an interview few weeks back!  I was telling myself, no harm going for the interview and finding out more about the company and IF I do get the job, we shall see how from there!

The interview went great but I didn’t hear from them until last week.  They said that they couldn’t pay my asking salary!  Sigh… If only they knew, I would take what they offered me.  It would be great to work in that environment!  It is a school and,… its a CULINARY school, and I love baking!  Well, they invited me down for another interview for another position, PA to the CEO!  Wah! So high class!  So I went, not knowing what to expect, and I realised that the CEO was a 37 Bachelor French Chef! :D  Heard he was the Head Chef of The Ritz, before moving to this school.  He even wrote a book called ‘Asian Tapas’.  It would be a dream to work for him!

I had the chance to speak with his current PA and found that this is not an easy job as she has to not only arrange his appointments, but also be in charge of inventory of books sold, the copier machine, phone system.  She did even say that she doesn’t even have time to MSN at work!!! :o  Well, I think I’d rather be THAT busy than not knowing what to do at work each day!

I have this fear that I may not be able to meet up to this CEO’s expectations as his current PA is fantastic!  She is neat and tidy, no filing left on her desk, her diary planner and Outlook was SO organised!  She is meticulous!  I guess the fear is because I did not know their work system, filing system and how the company is run, so I guess it is all just jitters and excitement.  Thus, I shouldn’t worry so much!

Well, now, my fingers are crossed, hoping that I’ll get that job and leave my current job.  Sigh… work hasn’t been that fantastic of late.  I’m still doing fine, the boss still thanks me for the job that I have done but then, there are other issues which I have not been pleased about.

I think my current job deserves a new article!
