UPDATE (25 Oct 2015)*****
This job is a scam. I was fired from the company after 9 months due to my competence. YES, is my competence.The half-ass bosses were totally delusional about the netizens in the world, I told them their idea could not work. But thanks to this lesson, I have seen a lot more about the IT industry in Singapore and made me learned the harsh truth about IT job-seeking, and the meaning of life in Singapore. And I was right, the company is not picking up at all since a year I had left. They revamped the website and appeared they are going nowhere in the industry.
*************************
Never thought someone will appreciate my amateurish drawings to be used in a business.
It was a fateful moment when I sent my application to JobsCentral, along with my unqualified and amateurish drawing and design. I was spotted. The Director called me from Australia and had a small chat with me. It was then he decided for me to be call in for a test an interview on 5th December 2013.
The test was a digital drawing test. So I need to bring in my laptop. However, it was a bad choice not to bring my laptop AC adaptor along with me. I did not think that my laptop battery life is not so sustainable anymore since it was just a few months old. But it did. So I need to use the office one and without the Wacom driver installed. It was damn difficult to draw under those circumstances. But I still did my best to churn out the last drawing.
The interview process was quite difficult. Because I was asked many questions not regarding to design and drawing, but it about business motivation. As I was an idiot about business, I can't answer it. But the other boss was kind enough to explain a brief concept behind his company ideals.
My drawings received good comments. And I was straightaway accepted on that night from a call from The Director again.
Finally. I signed the papers on 13 December 2013, Friday. It was a Friday 13th. The same day and number when I was born on 13 May 1988, Friday. I also remembered my aggregate score for my 'O' Level, replaced L1 with Higher Chinese or not, it was still 13. Perhaps my lucky number was still 13 afterall. No matter how bad luck the number might be. Perhaps is also my unlucky number, because I received quite a number of criticism about the paper I have signed. But I don't really care. I need this job more than anybody else. I might be unsure about the people I will be working with. But I am just nobody. I need the experience to upgrade myself. I really hope I can eventually grow along with the company. I seriously don't care about the benefit or the welfare.
I just need to improve myself.
