Why No Water Drink?

Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal

That’s the damn question one of my juniors (no, luckily I don’t know him) asked when he went to HSBC for industrial training interview. I was like, “What the fuck?!” when my ex-colleague told me this. Jeez, who do you think you are? It’s a really, really stupid question to ask..

Oh, the stupidity doesn’t end there. There was another foold who asked how many will get to work at HSBC, as he/she was wondering if she/he will be working there or not. He/she was worried he no friend at HSBC, since the department “all old old staff”. And to quote my ex-colleauge: “one fellow, berlagak like oad really really want tarcian ..”

Those bummers are a real disgrace to TARC. Well, it just goes to show how useful our liberal arts units are. Heck, maybe TARC should introduce modules like “Common Sense 101″ and “Professional Courtesy/Etiquette”.

    Haha. I agree with you some of them don’t have any common sense. I once heard somebody asked a funny question during a Q & A session with the Rexit Berhad’s manager. The question is:”Should we have working experience to work in your company? What the…The manager answered the question politely:”Of course we wouldn’t expect fresh graduates like you to have working experience…” Oh my! At that moment, I was thinking about: “Stupid! If they’re aiming for new employee with working experiences, they won’t come to college to recruit!!”

    However, IMHO, common sense is something which we should be able to learn through experiences and do reasoning using our brains. Well, as Phua Chu Kang said, “Use your blain…Use your blain…”
