Pegawai Tadbir Diplomatik Interview.

Hahaaa... (have realized looooooooooooooooooooong before the post but I have not attended the interview for 2 years)



After 2 years of not being called for SPA interview, I finally attended one, last Friday.



Received the email, a week before, so I only had less than 7 days to prepare. Well, I need to prepare my hair, my face, light make - up and look thin!



Wah, interview for the G but all you can think is how to look / be vain in front of the interviewer?
Less than 7 days is not an ample period where I can chuck all those information on Government initiatives, 1Malaysia, Budget 2014, GST, National Blue Ocean Strategy, Budget 2013 Theme and Thrusts, National Housing Policy, the increase of gula, bla bla bla.. to my tiny peanut size brain.



No dude, I can't read and remember all those in a limited time. Common, I have to go to work in the morning, fight my flu, completed my never ending report, layaning the customer, office politics, drama queen and all lah! How you expect me to remember what is the different between federal government, state government and local government when I have so much to concentrate on.



So, my last resort is to look good. I mean, if I can't answer the questions, might as well look cute and cuddly. Ha ha haaaaa



So my preparations are basically:



1) Eat flu med with hope that I'll be in the pinkest of health come Friday.
2) Learn how to look manageable. No bad hair day. Hair must look super nice. Super smart. Super professional.
3) Take less fattening food. I'm not skinny but I'd like to think that I am.
4) Baju. Which Baju Kurung will make look kurus.
5) Lipstick. Natural color or bold?
6) Blusher? Lightly pat or pinkish hue?
7) Use night mask. Use sheet mask. Use anything that will make my face look fresh and GLOWING.



No, I don't concentrate on eye make up because I suck at it. Super SUCK.




Anyway, I did attend SPA interview before..since 2007 and I don't even remember how many time I sit at the interview room at Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (then) and being scolded for not knowing about the country and all. Of course, I failed the interview, miserably.



I'm not putting my hopes high as I'm not an active person, I don't excel in school, I don't join any curricular activities, I'm fat, I just answer whatever the interviewer asked me, he's a Dato by the way, and as the second interviewer, that sweet lady, I feel bad for not being able to answer her questions because I no nuts about HR. Ha ha hahaaaa.




But, this time around, I didn't get scolded AT ALL for not knowing things. Maybe my strategy to look cute and cuddly is working, after all!
