Being the recruiter, there are hundreds vacancies I need to fill and
there are many applicants that are willing to challenge while they would mostly
say thank you to me for allowing them to get the chance for the interview. Some candidates become my good friends after they passed the interview and always so pleased to me. Some just doesn't show anythings to the interviewer. In addition, some also used to invite me for some snack or lunch. Nevertheless, this happened while I
worked for the Recruitment Agency. Since I change to work for a company
instead, I don’t think I will get those thankfulness again but... nahhh...

| There are 7 actually, but I gave 2 to ma colleagues :D |
It
seems not different, I still get those sweet thankful words from my candidates
^^ and there even a candidate, she brings some fruit to show her thank to me
that I allow her to get the second round interview (the first gift for my
recruitment job which is Fruit, apples). Is it called curruption? lol... I’m
too pessimistic? Noooo.... I know, I know...they just meant to thank me.
hehehe....
To my candidates; I've met many people in quite different
ways of personality, experience, knowledge and their beyond stories. I really
don’t mean to seek into their personal cases but they tend to share me, so I
keep listening. They bring their own stories to show me in the interview; yeah
of course, mostly we are talking about only education, experience and vacancy
but sometime they also share of their disgrace, depression and even their
family issues. I used to meet candidates whom they become orphan with only their
mother or father to live with... in a tough life; the candidates whom parents got divorce,
relatives got serious danger and I remember a candidate that even share me as
her dad passed away because of HIV. She's living with her mother and her little sibling, her aunt and her old grandma...she didn't say she's living hard but according to her outlook, we can define... Listen to those types of story did make me
feel deeply sympathy on their lives. I can’t imagine what gonna be me if I
got much suffer as them; though, they still smile to me even in their eyes
show sth sadly. First when I heard this kinda story, I thought they just try to
turn me to pity them and offer them a job but it is exactly not so. They may
just wanna share in order to release their stress. More and more, my feeling told
me that... “Don’t only see them in that negative way. Life is much more than
the novel or drama.” Thus, sometime I keep whispering in my heart as “sorry,
sorry....sorry” to some of my candidates whom are absolutely qualified to their
applied posts both of their knowledge and experience but they are still
considered to be fail just because they are not pretty or tall enough!!!
Heck!!!! What the heck is that requirement??!!! They already look nice enough
to work...they come here to work, not to become freshie nor super model!!!
Whatever, it’s still going on as the flow and the need of management. They have
their own reasons but just the reasons that make me sick at some stage...
