Your grades are too good.

Just came back from the medical device company for the sales position. It was ok, but there was a concern that he raised 3 times, in the beginning of the interview, in the middle and at the end  - "Your grades are too good." Feeling rather helpless, I repeated say that I will try as hard to put everything behind and learn from others. He didn't seem convinced.

Arse! Why bother interviewing me if you're so convinced by the stereotype in your head? So I should apologize for my good grades ma? 

Ok, ok, I suppose, I could have been more aggressive. It was sales afterall. I could have said something along the lines of,

• "Yes, I've got good grades, and this proves that I am a motivated person. (Twist their negative points into good points.)
• But I think I'm different from all the nerds out there. I am outgoing with positive attitude. (Say you are different from their stereotype.)
• If I have the chance to get this job, I'll value the opportunity, learn from my past mistake and try til I die." (Suck up to their arses.)

Oh well, I could use this for the next sales interview, I suppose.

When I was in elementary school, I was always jealous of my cousins who grew up in Hong Kong - I always felt that I couldn't find a place in Hong Kong for me. And then I grew up and thought "I am really lucky to see so much of the world". But now this awful feeling of jealousy is back.

I don't want it to stay though. I WANT TO BE PART OF THIS CITY. So I will stay positive, work hard, and find a good job in the city. Cheers!

To be or not to be a flight attendant?

I'm still deciding on whether to be a flight attendant or not. My parents asked the temple. Apparently I wouldn't really get a better job offer until May to July next year, at which time I'd have a mysterious men who would help me.

My reaction: Who the heck is this guy?!? I'm aware that flight attendants in Hong Kong have a notorious reputation for hooking up with rich men, as they put it in Cantonese, 钓金龟 or "fishing for gold turtles" (marrying someone rich). But how leh, when you are working with all-girl team?!?

Anyways, I've got an interview for a medical aesthetic device company tomorrow. I'm a bit complacent with an offer already. Plus, I'm not sure that sales is for me, but I think I'll have a better idea of the job if I go to the interview. (Like how I'm sure I don't want to be a headhunter after that horrid interview.) The night is still young. I should prepare and try fish for an offer!
