The Final Interview

Oh I hate being interviewed by phone, especially when it comes to job interview. Torturing my brain slowly but sure. That was my final interview, I have been doing interview since November last year. I put a lot of effort and concentrate to answer the questions. But thank God, the interviewers were American so I can handle the interview smooth enough. Well done, went well. I got the job anyway. So starting from next month, February, I will have a new occupation, yes an expatriate !!!

Salary ? Mayan lah. Office hours ? Make sense. Working Permit ?????

Ini nih yang rada ribet. Gue barusan ditanyain sama human resources, double confirm buat tempat tinggal gue.

HR: Okay, so I just have to ask you one more "double confirm" to your residence. Where do you exactly permanent residence ?

A: As you can see on my CV and my application, now I'm staying in Ascott.

HR: Ooooooo .... *long pause no answer*

Gue buru-buru kasih tau Pascal yang lagi ngeteh disebelah gue.

A: Eh gue bingung deh ini alamat gue kurang jelas apa dia ga ngerti sih, kan gue udah nulis pake huruf cetak semua kalo alamat gue tinggal itu bla bla bla bla bla *nyerocos sambil ngeroko*

P: Ya mana ada HR percaya kalau lu tinggal di Ascott. Kaya baru tinggal di KL sebulan aja deh, lu kan tau tabiatnya orang sini bagemana .....

A: Lah emang kenapa ?

P: Gini yah gue jelasin, lu adalah salah satu orang yang beruntung dari sekian banyak fresh graduate. Pertama lu gausa sibuk cari kerja sana-sini tapi kerjaan nyamperin elu. Kedua, mana ada unemployed can afford to stay in Ascott !!! Maybe the HR thought that you were staying over a week or so for the interview and you will be move to normal residence.

A: Lah tapi kan gue tinggal disini geratis, cuma bayar listrik sama air aja. Lagian ini punya babeh gue.

P: Pikiran orang beda-beda, udah lah yang penting masalahnya udah settle. Welcome to the club !! *sambil senyum renyah*

Emangnya gua ga boleh ya kalau tinggal di Ascott ? Duh emang kenapa sih ????????? Kan enak deket dari mana-mana, gratis pula. Oh gua baru ngerti, ternyata setelah gua selidiki, ini tempat gua tinggal itu harga per bulannya adalah RM 12.000 plus plus HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA pantesan aja tu HR gak percaya. Santai aja lagi, pun kalau gue emang tinggal disini emang masalah buat doi ? wong gratis tis tis.

P: Tuh liat, harga sebulan aja RM 12.000, tiga kali dari harga apart kita waktu jaman kuliah dulu.

A: Ya mana gue tau. Orang terima beres, lagian kata babeh gue "it worth every penny you know".

P: Terserah deh ..........

Gue dapet kerja, gue dapet kerja, gue dapet kerja, makasih Tuhan untuk segala-galanya.
