Life Continues

Started work on Thursday as a exhibition helper or worker. $40 per hour, of course in HKD, not USD or Euro. First day did some moving boxes and unpacking and placing on the central display area. In the afternoon, recieved a call from University of Hong Kong, Department of Medicine, requesting me for an interview as research technician on Monday, so I changed the interview to SGS on Friday, and then HKU on Monday, which is tomorrow. Tomorrow starts work as usual at 8:30am, doing some Fair Newspaper and information guide delivering to 8 hotels around Hong kong, plus Kowloon by the taxi which has been booked by TDC-Trade and Develop Council of Hong Kong with another guy since Friday. Of course the taxi fare is being paid by the authority, then will go for interview at 2:30pm, then need to rush back to Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition centre (the place where I work) for a afternoon + night shift till 9pm. Night time will be doing central display, as i did on the first day, just that instead of unpacking and placing the products, this time is to repacking and removing the products from the shelves. I guess it will be super tiring, but at least Tues and wed I dun have to work, so its like Sat and Sun to me, and can rest.

The SGS interview went quite well. Did dual interviews (meaning 2 interviews one shot, cos its a multinational super big company). First interview was with the HR guy and then second interview was one of the lab supervisor with a girl companied him. SGS job is to work in a commercial lab environment, testing, verify and certify all sorts of commercial products using the method of instrumental analysis. They said its quite hectic and stress, asked me to think properly. Salary wont mention here, but quite good. Asked me to expect at least 2-3days OT (overtime) in a week, OT will be paid differently, and quite alot apparently. Sat work either alternatively or as half day each week. They asked me since you are going to HKU for interview, so if both jobs are offering me, which one will you choose, I was like..erm..good queston ya? Will think that question probably after tmrw interview...
