After 'No' from sportwear company. I still looked for job. Right now I'm working in logistics company as business development analyst. I have worked here for 6 months already and will stop working at the end of this month. I didn't learn much from this company and had no jobs to do, sometimes I did NOTHING but surfing Internet for a month!!! That was killing me for doing nothing at work. So I decided to look for new job.
I sent resume for 'Management Trainee' position with 'Yellow&Red' logistics company :) and I got phone call to go have interview.
There were 5 people in the room from different departments. They are Thais. I wasn't nervous or excited at this time as I didn't expect and had some experience for the interview like this already.
We started talking in Thai about myself and current works littel bit then we changed to speak English. Talking this and that in easy ways. They didn't have list of questions like 'sportwear company'. The interview took 30mins. I felt that I did quiet well.
In the evening of that day, they called me that I passed and asked me to do personality test online and will inform the result within 2 weeks even though I don't get this job. I was waiting and waiting.......
2 weeks passed and no calls..so I called to ask and got the answer that I didn't get this job because my interview score is less than others. They wanted 4 person for this position. I was in 1 of 9 person that they interested but not good enough to be 1 in 4.
One week later, they called me and asked if I still interested in this position as one person didn't show up to sign the contract. I said 'YES!!'
It was so easy process with only 1 time interview. I was surprised to know that this big company had process like this haha but it was good though. Maybe if they had more process, I migt not get this job haha.
I will start next month. I will keep posting if it's like what I expect :)
At last I wanna tell you all who is looking for new job that don't give up and keep looking for better place. One day is will be your day!!!!

Functional Trainee Program
Let's take a break from food and travel :)
I just got new job and I would like to share my job hunting experience for those who are in the same situation as I was. I searched online and didn't find much about this experience. So here I am to tell you guys.
I applied for jobs with sooo many companies. The position that I applied are different but the one that I really wanna work is "Management Trainee" position as I just graduated with Master Degree and don't have working experience that related to my degree. So this position is really suit with my knowledge and experiences. I would learn a lot from this position.
I got first phone call from very famous Sportwear Company (German company) in January 2011 for the position in Functional Trainee Program. It's really nice program. They will train you for 1-1.5 year with 3 months period training in other country.
The interview process took FOREVER!!!
- first call from staff in Thailand but we talked in Eng for like 10mins. I introduced myself and told him why I want to work in this position etc.
- 2 weeks later I got phone call that I would have phone interview with staff from Hong Kong.
- 2 weeks later I had phone interview with HK staff for about 45 mins. She asked me a lot about my work experiences, how did I solve problems, what is my goal, what would I do in different sitautions. To answer these questions, she asked me to give specific examples.
- 2 weeks later I knew the result that I passed..so I would have panel interview with them.
- next 2 weeks I went to office in Bangkok, Thailand for panel interview. I had to make presentation for the topic 'what functional trainee can give to ......' I cant remember exactly what topic is but it's sth like that. The presentation would take 15 mins.
- There were 3 Thais staff and 2 HK staff (through skype) in panel interview. I was so excited!!
They started with these lists of questions that kinda similar to what I had on phone interview.
The questions that I needed to give specific situations to answer, can't just say in general or what I would do if I was in that situation. This part take more than 30 mins.
Then it was presentation time for 15 mins. Then they gave me case study about the situation and what I would do with it. They gave time to answer for 15 mins.
- They said they would tell me the result in next 2 weeks but I didn't hear anything from them!!
So I contacted HR in Thailand office and he said he was waiting for HK. He would definitely let me know once HK told him.
1 week passed, no call from him.......I called to check....same answer.......I kept checking every week with HR in Thailand till it was 1 month since I had panel interview. I decided to send email to HK staff.
- I know the result in April that I didn't get this job!! They wanted only 1 trainee that they were looking from both Thailand and Vietnam. When I heard that I was laughing hahaha. I know my self that I'm not that good to be THE ONLY ONE from both countries.
I really had good chance to know how this big company worked and really good opportunity to have interview with them. I'm kinda upset that I didn't get the job but oh well......I did my best and life has to move on :)
Congratulations to that person that got this job. You are the man!!! :D
