Company B

The company is a big organization, widely known and strong. The HR Manager is quite pompous. I find him quite appalling at first but gradually warm towards him. He makes a lot of jokes and tries to soothe my nervousness. Really appreciate it.

The very first word he uttered:

“You ni anak mami ke?”

Well, no,hehe. Then he proceeds to read my resume before coming out with another remarks;

“Oh, you ni orang Arab”

Well, no. Apparently he notices my Arabic language stated there in my resume. (All UIA clans claim they know Arabic, even though I only manage to uttered few words).

Still he is not satisfied “So, you orang apa?”

How to answer that, emmm…Melayu Asli. But surely I don’t want him to think that I orang asli. I’ve been trying for years to come out with a perfect answer. You couldn’t imagine how much I wish I had some Indian or Arabic blood so people can truly believes me instead giving disapproving stare the moment I said no to their queries.

The interview lasted for two hours and the offered me the job there and then.

Up Side:

a) The environment is so-so, situated in industrial area in PJ

b) Big Bucks, kacing,kacing, kacing ! Plus allowances on phone, car maintenance etc

c) It’s a big company, enough said.

Down Side:

a) It’s far from civilization (my definition on civilization contains word such as: KLCC, MidValley)

b) The bosses are old and kind of traditional

c) Em…its far from shopping complexes…I’ve said that? Really?
