Interview lagi

Oh my.... I am sweating like nobody business. My shouder, back and feet are hurting quite badly. All in the name of berkhidmat untuk negara. Ceh poyo. Hahaha..... Anyway, today till Friday I've been appointed as interviewer again. Jadi pengerusi plak tu. Over kan. Padahal bidan terjun aje. Walaupun everything kind of kelam kabut and very last minute, but for the sake of menimba pengalaman baru, I accepted the offer. But this morning menggelabah jugaklah kan. As usual, ingat interviewee je ke yang cuak, interviewer pun  sama je cuak.

Last saturday, ketika sedang busy di dapur memasak, I received one sms from HR friend asking if I'm interested to become an interviewer at SPA; for clerical post. Since he already asked my immediate boss first and got the green light, I of course la will say ok je kan. But then come Monday and still no news about it. So I thought tak jadi la kot. Then on late Monday evening dapat call and sms from an agency under this ministry offering to become an interviewer for PTK. Wah terasa popular kejap. Asyik dapat offer untuk jadi panel aje. The caller unfortunately can't answer few of my questions so I asked her to check first on certain matter. While waiting for her to return my call, JPA called to inform that I'll be the interviewer from Wednesday till Friday since there's already a panel for the first 2 day. At first I've  to decline considering that the agency dah offer nak jadi panel PTK. Tapi lepas dapat return calls from the agency and discussing about it with my immediate boss, I called them back and accepted the offer. Walaupun tak de allowance but the experience adalah lebih berharga.   

Sepatutnya semalam the other pengerusi akan pass the interview kit to me tapi until 4 something tak de apa-apa and I start panicking. Called few times tak de response so I makin panik. Then ada orag JPA called and after that the other panel called and bagitau the kit is already with him. Fuh lega. So I was paired with another officer from JPA. Tapi segan la pulak sebab tak kenal lagi. Belasah je la labu.... They told me to bring my own laptop sebab nak guna Microsoft Access untuk data interviewee. So I pun pinjam la laptop my boss yang besar gabak dan berat itu.

So this morning, dengan memikul bag laptop yang besar itu, I telah berjalan kaki ke bangunan SPA yang jaraknya ada la dalam 1km from my office. Takat jalan melenggang I tak de hal punya but with that super heavy bag, by the time I sampai kat SPA tu, my baju kurung dah basah dengan peluh. Eeeee pagi-pagi dah sweating all over ni memang la tak berapa nak gemar. Although I don't have BO but still.....  Anyway, kenapa I jalan kaki? Kenapa tak drive or suruh driver je hantar. Well nak drive susah sebab nanti balik tengahari dah susah nak masuk parking kat Percel D tu. Nak suruh driver hantar macam over la pulak kan. Literally just sebelah aje pun. So itu pasal la I jalan kaki aje.

Interview started at 8.30am and ended around 12.45pm. Managed to interview 21 candidates. Or was it 22? Eh tak ingat dah. My partner ialah En. Azhan from JPA. I risau je kot sape lah yang jadi partner tapi everything turned out to be just fine. Cumanya masa untuk setiap candidates roughly dalam 15 minutes macam tu. Apa la sangat nak tanya in that short period of time kan. Tapi for sure memang banyak la yang lawak-lawak. I senyum aje nak tahan gelak. Well this time memang la tak boleh nak gelak macam masa PTK kan. Nanti orang kata tak professional pulak. Esok lusa kena sambung lagi.

Lepas settle semua urusan, I pun berjalan kaki balik ke office. Kalau pagi tadi sejuk pun dah berpeluh-peluh, bayangkan di waktu panas terik. Pagi tadi blazer pegang kat tangan tapi balik malas pulak nak bukak. Lagi la menambahkan kepanasan. By the time sampai office memang dah lunyai abis dah. Dan basah lencun. Esok memang I tak bawak la laptop tu dah. Actually ada je PC kat dalam bilik interview tu. Hampeh betul. Sia-sia pengorbanan I memikul beg berat tu tau. Hehehe.... pengorbanan la sangat. Cett.....    

So akan ada 2 hari lagi untuk menginterview orang. Betul what my immediate boss cakap. Interview PTK and interview orang baru nak masuk keje memang sangat different. All kind of things boleh kita tengok. Cuak, cemas, menggelabah, kelakar, confident, over confident, eksyen. Semua ada. But its a good experience. Memang best and next time memang boleh buat lagi. But maybe I should have prepared myself better. Ini sampai tak tau nak tanya apa sebab tiada guidelines. Can ask anything under the sun and yet time is way too short and kena agak-agak la jugak dengan level jawatan tu kalau nak tanya pun kan. Takkan nak tanya analisis on some issu or dasar-dasar negara kan. So balik-balik soalan pasal sejarah Malaysia jugak. Bosan weh.   

Hmmm esok nak tanya apa lagi eh?
