Ethics

Everyone knows that you gotta be very ethical during an interview. It's a belief that you have to present yourself as a 'perfect' person with perfect answers and perfect qualifications, so that the company would hire you.

But, besides the interviewees, I guess it's also necessary for the interviewers to be ethical too. I've been to numerous job interviews and I realised that interviewers from 2 of the established organisations that I went (namely, M*d**C**p and CA*S), were very unethical and disrespectful. For godness sake! and they call themselves a HR personnel! I dun understand how they get in there in the first place. The person who interviewed them muz be blind.

To all interviewers out there who's reading my blog now, please bear in mind that we, interviewees, are not begging you for a job. We are graduates, not beggars. So, please treat us with respect. If you think we desperately need your job to survive and thus, view us as less superior than you, you are WRONG! We can jolly well work for some other companies where the interviewers give more respect to people. Think another way, your organisation needs us to contribute our effort in order for your company to progress. A company can't do without employees. Moreover, you, yourself is also an employee of the company, you don't own it and thus, you have no rights to despise us. Remembered that you were once interviewed before.

Unethical interviewers have definitely tarnished the reputation of the organisation. Hence, before the HR department start criticising the employees of the company during the appraisal period. Please take a look at yourself and reflect. Did you possess the qualities of a HR personnel? Have you forgotten that you are only working for the company? Did you show enough respect to people?

I pity these interviewers for their childishness and, myophic and shallow thinking. They are the people who's not worth hiring. Not us.

I wish these unethical and disrespectful interviewers get their retributions one day.
