Hectic Week

This is a super long week for me. Have to juggle between reports and equipment trouble-shooting as my guys are still fresh and maybe I still don't have enough confident in them. Hope that over time, I can slowly let go of those work and just concentrate on my new job assigned.

For the past 2 days I've interviewed 5 people for the post of Engineering Assistant but accepted none. I have to admit that I am rather strict with the interview as I wanna make sure I get the right people. I do feel bad when I rejected an applicant as I was once like them too. As much as I want to give them a chance, I need to be answerable to my boss. 1 year plus ago, I was interviewed by my boss for the post of engineering assistant too. I still remember that I said in 3-5 years time, I wanna see myself as an engineer.... Now here I am obtaining the post much faster than I expected. Alot of things happened within this 1 year which causes the unexpected changes.

My advice to the interviewee: before going for interview, find out more about the company's background. Dress appropriately, shirt and pants is the minimum for diploma graduates and above. Prepare some questions to show your interest in the job.

I have to employ at least 13 Engineering Assistants, wonder how many more interviews I have to go through for the next few weeks.....
