Job Interview...

aiyoyo....haven't update...last week was a relaxing week for me in job and also in my social life...haha=D Last tues while at work, was waiting for a sms from a friend and was getting quite anxious when she din't reply when i suddenly got a call from somewhere with 4 digits phone no....hmm...lo and below....it was from Lundbeck!well...its a Danish Pharmaceutical company and i applied for a position as Clinical Trials Assistant(CTA) few weeks back. and they asked me to come for an interview on that Fri morning...i was like so excited then told them i can't make it in the morning and they bluntly told me they can't change cos they have meetings in the afternoon and they would only be in KL that day....and so....i agreed.i was thinking...God help me arrange my time cos i dun have many days of leave left. then a bright idea came...earlier i found out i had an extra half day left(cos i had already planned how many days would still be left for me to take at the end of the year) so i took EL. first time in my history of working in that hospital...the interviewer also told me to check my email so i did.....and i couldn't find it!!!!finally found it in my spam mail *_* so i replied to her thanking her for informing me that i would receive an email....then on thurs nite, she called to say that they probably would be late and if they are late, i should see this person who will take me to the conference room.i'm like thinking...er....ok....i tot no need to tell me if u r late...cos its normal for interviewees to wait....yeah...so cool....i think its called favour of God(?) =D

Fri came and i finally wore the clothes which i bought(a few weeks ago) especially for interviews(but at that time i din't know i would have an interview)...haha...buy by faith!haha...
was there at 9.15 and the interview was scheduled at 9.30am...they were on time...
thankfully, they din't ask me to talk about myself...aiyoo...i dun like that question...cos got so much to say mar...and dunno which one they wan to hear in relation to the job...they explained a lot to me about the job scope and description and wat i will be expected to do if i get the job...then they introduced me to the International Clinical Research (ICR) team which consists of 3 Clinical research Associates(CRAs) and told me to talk to them and ask any questions i have...so i did...it was ok lar...talked like friends...was thinking if i could work with them..and basically the job of a CTA is like coordinator, secretary and admin type. currently they are doing everything from A-Z so they are looking for extra help with the filing, emailing...answering calls..and sometimes follow them to meetings....so yeah...diff from wat i'm currently doing now...but i dunno lar...i asked for a lot of money only bcos it has to be higher than my current pay...and some benefits are lost...so now its God's turn to move....to open or close this door...i'm still deciding...if they are willing to pay me that much or somewhere near there, i guess i would take the job....and i'm worried bout career advancement....cos CTA is the most basic and lowest post in the team so i wan to be able to go up the ranks....i can't forever be a CTA....so yeah lor...God knows wat i need...
by the way, a little testimony bout this job...i asked God for a workplace not too far from home, less jam, no need to pay toll(if possible), no need to wake up super early to go work and He answered all this with this job...its in Shah Alam(can reach using Kesas)starts at 9am, no toll and its highway so wat jam??and i did ask for admin kinda job in a pharmaceutical environment preferably...and i never knew of this job until recently.
