I will not forget today..

today, I went for my last interview.. today, i was humiliated (sort of)..

he is a manager in one of the "Big 4".. can't remember his name though, but his name is not important..let's just call him ass . i knew he didn't want to hire me once I saw his face.. I was told that he is the manager of the financial institution team, and so I guess he see himself as a class above the rest as he is an auditor who audit the banks, which is something that is deemed to be more prestigious than other industries (but of course, I disagree with this perception, totally)

maybe it's the way I dress today, or maybe I was just born like this, or maybe it is the way I carried myself today, I think I gave him this impression that I know nothing but mug, aka nerd. The following are some of the things he said that gave me this idea that he thinks that I am a nerd:

"I want my staff to be someone who is sociable and can interact with all kinds of people because I think that is the most important trait of a successful auditor"

"There is no textbook answer in the working world.."

"Many graduates made a mistake right from the start when they graduate; they chose to work as an auditor and as a result, they dislike their job because there is high level of interaction with others.."

"Once you enter the workforce, you will be overwhelmed with work, and by then you will face a difficulty of allocating time between work and building relationship with your teammates.."

"I don't want mere workers; I want someone who can express themselves and show that they have the ability to lead.."

guess it is just my luck that I was being allocated to this snobbish ass..or maybe I should actually thank him for all his subtle insults, for it is only after today, after all those things he said to me, that I found my goal: I will prove that snobbish ass wrong. If he is a manager, then I will work towards being a partner; I have to be better than him.

I won't disclose which accounting firm this is.. but I can drop a hint: company name starts with the alphabet that is before "L".. :p
