some nonsense

i always make sure i arrive 15mins early for interview, and then put my fone on silent.

so this morning, as usual, i got there at 9.45am (after being squashed in bus and tube).

sat there and the clock ticked to 10.05am...

lucky i checked my fone n saw a missed call from Ajay (the HR)...

me: hello? did you ring me?

Ajay: yeah! where're u?

me: i've been at the reception for 20mins....

Ajay: ohhh! im so so sorry.. nobody buzzed me

and he came to collect me straight away...

Ajay: i'm terribly sorry to keep you waiting.. (turning to the receptionist) why didnt u call me?

receptionist: this's not my responsibility as my phone's taken away

and at this point, i heard the phone next to her ringing -_-

Ajay: today's scheduled u'll been interviewed by Luc, David, Rachael and Andrew separately, followed by another two tests.

and so... i repeated myself for the same question 4 times for each of them -

Can you talk me through your CV?

Why do you wanna work for us?

How do you see your contribution for the role?

and so on............. WHY DON'T THEY JUST COME IN TOGETHER?!

and like any other times, i was encouraged to ask some *sensible* questions.

me: how do you see yourself differentiate from your competitors?

Andrew (head of dept): honestly, nothing. if we disappear tomorrow, none of our customers would realise. and i never click on those paid search ads in case they're spams

me: oh.. ok.. thats very interesting. so how're you working on this to improve the situation?

Andrew: we're working on it. slowly. but there's not much we can do.

me: hm....... interesting.......
