I finally got myself a job at OCBC centre and I'm starting work this coming Wednesday! To be specific, it's Contract Polytechnic Trainee Bank Officer, EmB Risk, Group Risk Management Division. I'm actually on a 6 months contract basis. Renewable of course, even though I don't know why it is a contract. Let's treat it as a 6 months probation period then. I was offered the job that very day when I went for the interview last Friday cause I told them I had to know the result asap as I had to get back to my agency.
Adecco, the agency that I applied through, was really efficient by the way. Like today I applied, then next day they called me liao. I'm really thankful for the help they gave me and for arranging the interviews for me even though the locations suck.
Imagine going to Tuas for 2 consecutive days. Somemore it's 8 interviews altogether. 4 interviews each day. Madness. Wednesday was the first day that I went and the first 3 interviews were all at Tuas. The last one was in Toa Payoh. And then same thing for the next day as well. 2 at Tuas, followed by 1 at Chinatown and the other at Toa Payoh on Thursday.
Luckily I had to attend one interview on Friday only and that was OCBC Bank. I cancelled my 2nd one as I've already gotten the job. People, be happy for me alright despite the fact that the pay is low and it's only for 6 months.
The rest of the interviews that I've been to offered me low pay as well. Got a couple of them offered me $1400 only. Like wtf?! I might as well go back to my attachment company right? I'm a diploma holder for christ's sake. Desmond even told me this "Please reject them and point them a middle finger." Hahaha. But I can assure you, my OCBC's pay is definitely higher than that. In reality though, I really cannot hiam anymore, if not, I'll be jobless forever. Like what my friends and family told me, just accept the job first, it's better than nothing right?
