The Dumbest Interview

Had another interview today. I think this is the dumbest interview I've gone through so far. Well, actually, I just think the interviewer is just plain silly.

I went there, filled in the form and waited for someone to interview me. So, was interviewed by this lady, I didn't even ask for her name. I don't know if she is trying to act sassy or be gentle or whatever lah. But hello, please speak at an audible level. Then, she kept on flipping her hair as though she is in some MTV. Anyway throughout the interview, she asked my age like 3 times, even though I wrote it down and she kept on repeating it to herself over and over again. Then she asked me why I wanted to get into this line. I replied.

She asked where I studied, I told her, then she said, "oh so you know PA? Were you taught by him?" Then... She carried on with the interview. Asking if I can take criticism, of course I'd say can right? But I think she wasn't convinced. I think she wanted to test me. She started to criticize everything As in really everything, from my thesis makeovers to my portfolio, to even my dressing.

First was the portfolio. She was crticizing the false lashes of being too dramatic. True lah, it is too drama for that look. So I said, But the school only sells that kind of lashes, and they say its very nice. So since she knows my teacher, she didn't want to condemn the lashes anymore. She decided to say, "Then you should have cut it."

Next was the thesis, as she was flipping through, she commented that the hair shouldn't be down. Like hello, some people's face bigger, or got high forehead, of course they want some fringe to cover right? Ok.. I admit there are those flyaway strands which should be combed down with mousse, but then those people who I did on were not really willing to. So never mind.

Last was her saying bout my dressing. I must say, this is also the part that convinced me that even if she calls me back to go down for the second interview, I wouldn't go. Not that I can't accept whatever she said. But I felt that it was more like a personal attack than a test for threshold of bullshit.
She: "I think you should change your style."
Me: "My style?"
She: "Yes."
Me: "What do you mean by my style?"
She: "Your clothes, personal grooming."
Then she looks at me from head to toe before saying something which I felt like slapping her on the spot.
She: "Ohhh... Actually you are in all black hor? Ok lah, black is very safe."
Wahh so she is asking me to change my style even before she sees what I wear. That is just stupid lah...

After realising the blunder she just said which I feel is totally unprofessional, she looks down and continues to look through my thesis makeovers. I did mention that she spoke really softly right? But when it came to this part, she raised her voice in a tone that sounded like she is in shock and disgust.
She: "EHHH... THIS IS 60'S MAKE UP MEH? ARE YOU SURE???"
Me: "Yes I'm sure."
She: "60's make up is the thin eyebrows mah. 70's then is the thick one."
Me: "Actually, 60's is the thick, 70's is the thin."
She: "Ohh ya hor... Ya the blue colour."
Wow.. she changes the topic really quick after realising her yet another blunder.

After the interview, I was supposed to meet Yl. Had bout an hour to kill. I went to look for Cas. So I was tellin her bout my interview. She asked how much they offered. After telling her, she replied, "SIAO! You're mad if you accept that job. For all the bullshit you gotta take, after deducting CPF, its not worth."
