interview for librarian post: IIUM interview reflection

last tuesday, i went to an interview for another librarian position at IIUM. at first, i thought it was odd that the interview would start at 5pm --- who would arrange an interview at such time, right? --- but actually it was not a wonder then, as the process for each candidate took not more than 10mins. fast and furious, eh. as the third candidate, mine finished at 5.16pm (the first one was called at 4.50pm). so pastu apa lagi pi minum la kan (dinner sbnrnye), with ajim and sarah; as well as umi and syida (also candidates for the vacancy...fuuuu very the competition)

anyway, here're the questions:
-- describe about yourself
(i've learnt to tell only a little about self, and more on tertiary education background and related job experiences)

-- what library system that u're familiar with
(err...UIA's Sirsi Dynix, as a user of course...and KOHA, an independent system used at the resource center which i've work for previously..err not much lorrrr huhuhu)

---which department do u want to work at
(with lack of experience, i would accept any position or department, because i want to learn everything...bla bla cant remember the rest)

overall reflection:
with several other experienced candidates, it's a slim chance for me i think. hmmm....



mood: gloomy.
reason:
librarian vacancy at UUM, and God knows w.h.y they ask to get the form from the counter there (payment: RM5) or send them stamped envelope (RM1) and they'll post it home. hello IT department? hello website enhancer? orang dah pakai web 2.0 dorg still ber pos2 camtu lagi.

but thats not the reason for my state of mood actually. it's just that, a close friend who lives nearer to UUM already took the form . i jokingly asked her why didnt she get a form for me too (we're classmates, both are still job hunting) and she jokingly answered " [kalau aku amek utk ang] cari pasai ttp lubang aku..UUM tu hutan kot, xsesuai ngan hang.haha"

it's a joke, but i think she meant it :-(
