I just had my first actual interview in my whole 17 years and I can't tell if it was good or bad. Initially, I wanted to stay silent about this but, I really felt the urge to share this somewhere. It was a Maybank interview. Seeing the "all fields of courses' on the application form had made me apply for it because maybe they can help fund my TESOL study at The University of Nottingham in Semenyih. I ain't got that much money to pay for the fees.
I thought I didn't pass that effing tough online assessment but, the night before my Teachers Candidates Qualification Test, a woman from the Maybank called me, informing me of the interview session. For sure, I was happy because there will be another door opened for me to study English.
So, days passed and I came to the Maybank Tower that looks like my brother's piggy bank. My feelings that time, it was vague. I couldn't tell if I was nervous or indifferent or happy. I was just... expressionless that day.
It was a long wait though. Then, a surprisingly young interviewer called my name and I followed him into the interview room. The view from there was reminding me of Paper Towns. So, I sat. He asked about my family background. I answered - explained, actually since mine is quite complicated. Then, came the part when he said I am not eligible for the no-bond sponsorship due to my mom's yearly income. Gosh, I didn't notice that RM 24 000 part. I was, like...
"Why am I here?"
I wasn't saying that out loud. It was quite weird knowing that you aren't eligible for the sponsorship but you are still there to be interviewed, to be considered to be one of the scholars. That guy told me that they were having discussions over our applications and I was chosen for my SPM result. I felt appreciated actually for the fact. The issue was, he tried to change my choice from TESOL to something more practical in the banking universe. I knew the intention even though he called it as "giving you the idea". Thank you, Mr. [redacted] for that and for accepting my application anyway.
He offered me something related to my passion including psychology, evangelized about being their scholars and so on, so on. I appeared to be so gullible by saying "I might have considered psychology but, if I can fight for my passion, I'll fight for it." But, I do know that there's no way to change the way this thing works. If I want that scholarship, I HAVE to accept his suggestion. I think I was being rude by turning the interview session into a debate session. Me vs. him.
Actually, I don't have any idea what does he think about me and my attitude and my ideology.
Maybe he thinks I was rude,
Or too gullible.
Or too stubborn.
Or too indecisive.
Okay, I am being paranoid.
Which is NOT GOOD for a future psychology degree holder.
Overall, I am really hoping to get admitted into The Institute of Teacher's Education and pursue my ambition to become an English educator. But, if I am given the chance to be in the next stage of Maybank interview, why not give it a try?
Readers, I would love to have your endless positive thoughts in supporting my vision. Pray for my success and for your life, too. Thank you so much if you already have been supporting me all this while. Thank you again :3
"What if I don't get good pointers? Will you take back my scholarship?"
"I will hunt you."
Okay, that sounds creepy.
:D
Bienvenue les amis.
Thanks for visiting, you beautiful people!
