:) title diatas tak ada kaitan pun dengan entry kat bawah nie..saja saja. qoute from Grey's Anatomy. Bessh!!
...
saja nak share pengalaman semalam.
Semalam aku dikerahkan ke satu bilik bersama sama dengan boss untuk meng'interview' seorang malay lady yang sama umur dengan aku - berkerja dengan salah satu consulting company yg semi-kerajaan. And mind telling you, this is not my first time conducting interviews but im considering this to be the worst.Bukan nak kata aku bagus.Semua orang tak bagus. Tapi aku tumpang kesian dengan nasib dia.
Bermula dengan soalan ' tell me about yourself?' ..well expected in English lah kan?! No!! Dia bercakap bahasa melayu. So we as interviewer terkejut.We did asked her to speak in english. So dia pun mulalah bercakap until my boss had to stop her from using english bcoz we cant understand a word. So keadaan dalam bilik interview tu bertukar jadi suram. And my boss started to lecture her about learning english and worst case dia tak paham apa yang kami tanya..and later after my boss long speach..that malay girl started to cry.Yes!! She was crying at about 5 mins. Aku jadi panic. Gile seh!! Buat anak orang menangis!!
Apa yang kami buat?! My boss asked me to ask the girl in Malay. waaah!! first time international company conduct interview in malay -not as i know lah kan.. So the session start all over again. Prove to us yang dia oklah sebenarnya..tapi bab kelentong buat kami tak tahan.. bukan kata interview kalau dia tak kelentong kami but salah kelentong jerat diri lah kan?! Kelentong yang tak jadi buat kami macam sakit hati. Boss aku pun apa lagi.. lagi ko kelentong,lagi dia akan tanya technical questions.DAMN!! Gali kubur sendiri le nie.. End up seperti kita pergi interview, interviewer jarang nak cakap apa or mana silap kita. Tapi aku boleh nampak and sedar yang interviewer ni banyak nye berlakon sebenarnya.
dalam miting tu, aku sempat terpkir yang mungkinkah kerajaan sedar dengan apa yg berlaku? dari apa yang aku perhatikan, kita kena buat somethings. Ini baru english,tak lagi kena belajar mandarin.
As a result,:
1. Communication in English. -
Boss said : this is crucial for our team.Obviously she cant communicate in English.
Me said : [sebab nak tolong melayu masuk private sector]suggested dia diletakkan dalam group technical and supervised by seniors.So by hope lama lama dia boleh belajar and improve her communication skills.
2. Lack of skills.
Boss said : Kelentong tak habis.
Me said : Normal for us to be accepted by other people.Therefore, I dont see there is a negative issue.As long as that person willing to learn and improve, everything going to be fine.Rite?!
Iktibar nya:
1.Penerimaan :
Yes! Memang betul. Ada orang yang tak boleh terima kalau kita pandang tinggi pada english.Tapi kalau itu dah jadi satu sumber pendapatan untuk kita sara hidup, why not? well, jangan le pulak lupa asal usul.. betul tak?! [ aku pernah kena marah dengan pakcik teksi sbb cakap english dgn kawan cina.. logic tak?! .. sbb dia orang tua, so aku malas nak layan..]
2.Belajar :
Belajar kalau tak tahu.Never too late! Lain le kalau kita ni mcm CT. Tak belajar english pun still boleh dapat duit banyak.Kan?! Tapi kalau sedar yang diri nie kena belajar and setanding dengan orang lain.Kenapa nak malu2? [ ada kawan aku yang malu.malu nak bercakap. malu nak bertegur dengan kawan2 dalam opis. my advise: amoi amoi yang mata sepet tu pun tak le pandai mana. biarpun macam ayam n itik bila bercakap, tak apa.. lama2 ok lah tuu. Well, aku pun tengah belajar : esp bila baca blogs: khasnye chikong, inot , nonie and teddy. woohoo!! ]
lagi?! heheheh dah tak ada idea sebab tadi boss panggil suruh conduct training on the project. so tata people..

woohoo... baca punya baca skali tetiba kluar nama aku plak... heh jgn ler, english aku dlm blog tu mmgla sgt 'berabuk'nya... which i need to polish more... cam x layak jer jd cth, merapu jer lebih...hehe
but i do agree with u... english is essential esp if u tend to apply to a multinational company like yours... never expect to be interviewed in BM, in fact many public sectors & uni interviews that i've attended were conducted in english... so, it's sad if graduates don't equip themselves with that language....
i used to attend 'The Apprentice' like (a mini one) interview for 2 days. It was somewhat nerve-racking but i kinda enjoyed it too as it was a very good experience, but sadly i was the only malay among over 20 interviewees. There might be biasness somewhere in the process but more graduates esp the malays should also change their attitude to stop that kind of biasness.
nonie,
tq for the comments.
well,at least you are better than me..:P
ish ish ish.. mesti ko pon ter-trauma kejap bila tengok pompuan tu nangis.. hmm.. tapi tu la.. dia tak prepare langsung ke to be interviewed in english? *sigh* she should've known about that, way before she even applied for your company right?
hmm.. macam-macam..kat opis aku ni, yang native english speaker boleh kira ngan jari je.. yang lain-lain tu semau cakap with accent - french la, spanish la, african la, nak kata english diorang power, tak pon.. tapi at least diorang boleh susun ayat in english and orang boleh paham. so kita orang melayu takyah nak rasa rendah diri sangat, takyah la nak ber-accent american/ british beria. asal orang boleh paham and kita boleh get the message across pon dah ok sangat tuh. kan kan kan kan?
confirm aku cuak yang amat !! kesian tu memang kesian..
betul betul.. depa mat salleh pun bukanlah pandai sangat pun. ayat tunggang terbalik gak bila ber'email'an. bila bercakap pun lebih kurang sama ajer dengan kita.janji message dapat disampaikan dengan selamat..oklah tu..
cumanya aku kekadang tak paham dgn graduan kat sini..cuak tak tentu pasal. ramai dah aku jumpa sebenarnye..
