My Interview at Walton International

This morning the PrimeStaff agency called me and told me that im shortlisted for the Receptionist position at Walton international.

So i went over to the agency to sign a contact with them first at 2.30pm. The company is at Cecil street and i dun know where is this place lo. I look at the map they give mi, and i walked for about 10mins from Tanjiong Pagar MRT. Feel like im a tourtise today as im holding the map and walking like a blur sotong. Finally reached the agency and she teach mi and advise me in what will the company expect from me in the interview and how should i react. Well, the lady is friendly and nice too. Well maybe is becuz it will benifit them so she is trying her best to get me in the position, but i guess she is real nice to even teach what should i say all that. So after a short breifing with the agency, they give me the map to go to the Walton Company.

Still got another 40mins to the next interview at Raffle place. So i try to walk
to Raffle MRT. On my way, there is coffee bean. I haven eat breakfast and lunch yet so i walk in and order mocha and cheesecake. haha.. After a 15mins rest in the cafe, i continue to walk... I got to walk to Fullerton One for the interview. This time round is more difficult, on my way i got to ask people the way to walk there. Finally reach there about 3.35pm WOW!!! The company is big! I went to the recept and they gave mi the form to fill in. I wait and wait... wait.. see alot of people walking around... About 4.30pm then the HR assistant come to mi and have an interview with me. The interview is short too. Well, its not a successful one. Becuz..

Reasons
-> She hint me that they will consider more on the candinates which apply through the news paper because agency charge them quite high.
-> She told me that it might be a waste for me to be a receptionist as im holding a IT Dip.
-> She would really want someone with receptionist experience.
-> She also advise me to look into the newspaper for jobs. (maybe hinting me to go reapply through newspaper so they no need to pay the agency)
