I put up an advertisement for the vacancy of nurse.
Naturally, these few days, quite a few turn up for interview.
Today, another girl turn up.
I asked her: Where do you stay?
Her: Seremban
I looked at her. No joke. She came with a travelling bag even!
Aghast, I asked: You travelled from Seremban to PJ, just for this interview?
Her: Yes. If I got this job, I will stay with my friend.
Me: If you don’t get this job, then you have to travel back to Seremban (empty handed)?
Her: Yes.
Wah. You know how much pressure I am facing?
If she is really not suitable for the job, how to(sampai hati) tell her?
I traveled 9 hours in a bus from KT to KL to attend an interview which was scheduled to begin at 9am. Nobody gave me a special look just because I had just arrived at 6am in the morning and took my shower at KL Sentral, you know.
If she isn’t fit enough for the job, you could say something like, “Thank you for making the trip here for the interview, but we have decided to hire another person who is more experienced. But we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.”
There!
so u hired her or not? she despo for the job i think or she ngamngam come for visiting?
Y’know what? Fantastic effort. I had an ex-colleague who got to work everyday from Seremban. He took a bus at 6am, reached work at 8am. Went home everyday at 8pm. Think he’s still with the co!
Dedication la.
Of course, feel pressured la. But, still…. look at her qualifications and her ppl skills lor.
wah, she must really desperate for a job, i hope she’s qualified for your vacancy
So is she hired?
Are you complying with the new minimal salary proposed by the ministry ?
pelf Wow. You are committed.
sasha She is desparate for the job
mott Most of them have zero ppl skills
Jewelle What is needed, is not qualifications. What is needed is … human touch
fibrate Sadly, no
bushido Oh, definitely above that. Never will become an issue.
You are too kind. I had a colleague too who travelled daily from Seremban to work and back. Its really amazing. I think Pelf’s suggestion sounds like a good idea. Break it to her gently loh.
What’s your criteria for hiring a nurse? Must be hot looking one ah?
Do you want to hire someone who aspires to be a nurse? If yes, you may now send me the offer letter. Wuakkakaka… I am just kidding (=
I sure hope you won’t hire my sister because she faints whenever she sees blood, serious! LOL.
mumsgather Everyone deserves some kindness ^-^
Adino Hot looking nurse is good for no one
pelfy I fax it to you?
chenpn Aiyak. Why you bocor the secret?
life is so realistic?
Ha..anyhow…every ppl have their strength and weakness…
^-^
wan sek kan nang…
ahhong Life is always realistic
chen sigh. Ain’t that the truth
Well, I guess most of us had this experience, right? especially those are from small town, and want to work in big city.
I heard that some companies actually provide the air ticket for you to go for interview….. haha~~ but, of coz, mostly don’t.
I always think nurse needs to be kindhearted and patient. haha~~ and I always think that personality and attitude are more important than skills. (Simply because I’m not skillful? haha)
kaka But you are really kind hearted
Doc: Where did you stay?
Jess: Klang
*I looked at her. No joke. She came with a bunch of noisy kids even!*
Aghast, I asked: You travelled from Klang to PJ, just for this interview?
Her: Yes. If I got this job, I will stay with my friend.
Me: If you don’t get this job, then you have to travel back to Kang? (making sure she pack all her 3 kids)?
Her: Yes.
Apa macaiam, doc? Can pass as your misi or not? Me very poor thing also. Need to feed 3 kids. *puppy eye*
jessie, u so rich. no need lor
Did you hire her in the end?
just me sadly, No.
Haihh…ok la…since you ‘like’ my nurse , I pass her to you la..kekekke..And she will be staying IN your house..dun worry , no kids like HQ , friendly smile , experienced…
