talk non-stop

I was asking who is interested for some marketing research jobs, then can go to the interview with me but it ended up me alone. It's not an interview actually, more to like a briefing..the company's director himself briefed us..it was ok, can see he's trying to keep us entertained but then...he failed~ahah!what to do..it's so boring, imagine someone is talking about all those research thingy again??yes, the qualitative..quantitative...focus group..methodology..aiks!ohh ya, the company is Acorn Marketing&Research Consultants which is located at HP Towers, Damansara Heights. It's an international company..they have big clients eh,in Malaysia got...hm, Astro, Petronas, etc. They came up with the name such as KLCC, yes, they do branding as well. I think I'll learn alot about research thingy here which is a good thing for me because I'll be taking a subject called Communication Research&Method in this coming semester.

My first research job is pretty simple, it is the telephone interview..we'll be given a list of people with their numbers..what we have to do is call them and do the interview but it's easier said than to be done because well, Malaysians, especially the Chinese..whenever they hear about the word 'interview'..they'll be like..."ohh,nono...dowan dowan..thankiew thankiew...busy busy...byebye byebye"..but of course, as a professional interviewer like me(ahah!)we'll reply back "oh it's ok,but maybe i can call you at another time?"...well, as expected, they'll say "eer,no lah..cannot...not free...dowan lah,i'm not interested lah"..of course we won't force them already.."ohh,it's ok then...thank you very much and have a nice day"~how i wish i can say.."oi aunty/uncle, i'm good people la...you think i'll cheat you meh?!interview only mah...so susah meh??" but sadly,i cannot say that!

For the project now, the duration of the interview process will take about 15 minutes because the questions are pretty long...the director said it's one of the shortest..the longest takes about 45 minutes!Imagine the interviewer!!!talk non-stop man!!!That's why the pay is not bad..haha!it's different rate for each project..as the one i'm working right now(can't reveal what the company is but what i can say is..it's a big and well-known company in Malaysia)...i'll be paid 12 bucks for each successful interview.

Other than telephone interview, there is house-to-house interview, face-to-face interview, focus group discussion and all sort of methods. For telephone interview, it's pretty flexible, meaning you can go to the office and start calling people at anytime you wish, you can come in the morning, afternoon or even evening! But if you come earlier, the more people you will get. Hm, how good if this company is an advertising agency as well? for sure I'll apply to do my internship there!

Although it is very tiring but i had fun!

beyond my expectations?

Results for semester 3 final exams are finally out at tgen.Hm,I expected 4A's actually but it turned out to be 3A- and 1B as following:

Issues in Media Contents : A-
Intro to Computer Graphics : A-
Intro to Mass Media Writing : A-
Intro to Corporate Communication : B

Kinda dissapointed for my Corporate Communication, although i don't really like that subject but i really answered all the questions very well(i think)..but nevermind,i did my best in it. Anyway, 3A- and 1B still not bad actually,with CGPA of 3.5..not A-!aiks!Hm,I'm still satisfied with my results cause it was my toughest time when I sat for finals. She must be proud of me =)
Time flies!there gone my 1 month sem break..for me,this long sem break is boring but my friend said sem break is fun and important...depends on how you spend it le right?I think I'm going to help my cousin at his small cafe,create a new menu layouts with my photoshop and illustrator skills....haha!I can't wait to start semester 4...I'll miss college when break times and I will complaint so much when I got a lot of assignments...haha!

Dear classmates, faster go check out the 'letter of returning students semester dates' at student portal because it will give you a surprise,a shock maybe~it's about the study schedule...no more monsoon semester cause they make it from 3 semesters into 2 semesters a year..i think we won't be graduating on time unless they increase the number of subjects we have to take which is quite imposibble cause 5 subjects already make us want to kill ourselves.I don't know what's the plan...that's one of the reason why I am going to the launching of UniSA and media hub this coming Thursday.

Father's Day coming very soon..my sister planned to buy a pen,a luxurious pen...in fact,she bought!As a result,i have to dig out a large ammount of money to share...but nevermind,it's all worth it when you see your dad smiles when he sees the gift.
