SIP | Day 11
Wednesday, 23 Sept 2009
- Had nasi lemak for lunch.
- Wore white shirt.
The Wednesday was a normal one. As usual, I be attending to walk-in candidates, courier men and answer phone calls. And I was pretty much just responding to candidates that applied for the several job ads posted on JobsDB. So I viewed their email, vet through their resume, and call them up to inquire more about their current/previous job. Questions such as:-
- Are they still working? If yes, why are they looking out for a new job? How long will their notice period be?
- If they are not working, why did you leave your previous job?
- How much are they currently drawing, what was their last drawn salary?
- How much is their salary expectation?
- Are they open to locations?
- Are they open to contract roles?
- Any specific preferences?
It’s a meaningful job, I reckon. I get to interact with a lot of people on the phone, and that is rather challenging. When you meet with nice people, it will be a smooth phone interview. But when you are faced with a rude or unfriendly candidate, things can get a little tricky. But in all, I say I am pretty much happy with internship. Yesterday was also the very first e-journal submission, and i wrote a whole lot of reflections. haha.
