Worst Interview Ever

Good day folks! 

It's just gonna be another ranting post. So, I attended an interview last Monday. Before the interview started, I was waiting at the lobby, and was kinda looking around and observing around. because working environment is one of my considerations actually. (not being picky thou, just personal preference) I had quite a good impression on this firm by looking at the environment, because it looks clean, neat and tidy, unlike the previous firm i've worked at. But, the interview was horrible. it was the worst and most horrible interview i've ever had in my entire life. okay, not gonna review what is the firm, but yah. I'm just gonna share my interview experience at this firm, with an old uncle. well, I'm not sure if its because of his age, or his personality memang like that. I am actually feeling kinda glad that he was that honest and straightforward. So, the interview started off with some basic questions. then it went on to 'what's my interest in various areas of law'. So i was just being honest and told him i am interested in Corporate and Commercial, which i've stated in my cover letter. if he has read it, i supposed he should've known it. then, he asked me why do i choose corporate? why not conveyancing, since i've done conveyancing before at my previous workplace? why not continue with that area? So i was being honest again, i told him 'because i've tried that area before, i find it kinda boring and i didnt like it, that's why i would wanna try other area' then he went on again, asking me why corporate then. since i've never done corporate before, how do i know i like corporate. then i repeated again that i've never tried before, thats why i would like to try. he then asked me whether is my results good, or whether do i have a good connection in corporate world. then he look at my resume, and saw that i do not have a first or second upper. then he went on to ask if i have a good connection. i didnt really understand what did he mean by 'good connection'. so i asked him, 'what do you mean by good connection?' He damn straightforward, and said 'Is your father or your relative a CEO of a big company, like Public Bank?' I was speechless, seriously. i really dont know how do i answer this, and i just said no. it was just the 3rd or 4th question, and i got so pissed, and i know i wouldn't wanna work here even if he offer me a job, but obviously he wouldn't. haha. he then went back to the same topic, why dont i do conveyancing? He even said that i dont like conveyancing or find it boring is because I'm not good at it. wtf? like seriously? but yehh, he really said that to me, in my face. well. by then i already feeling so fed up. then he asked me why now only apply for chambering when i got my results in december? i told him, because i went for a holiday in march, so i only apply after i came back from holidays. it's not appropriate if i ask for a 10 days leave after i started my chambering not too long. i didnt know he would be saying this 'this is a minus for you, this shows that you're not committed and competitive enough, everybody else already started their pupillage, they're already half way there, but you haven't even started' fuck you uncle. that doesn't even make total sense. 


i dont know if I'm making a big fuss out of it, but he definitely was insulting me. and he did say that he's judging me, into my face. god damn. i dont even know how can he be a lawyer. i have my god damn pride too. I'm not necessarily have to work at your firm. and if i do not reach your requirement, you can dont ask me for an interview. pfft. 


But, thank you for letting me know, how realistic and materialistic the world is, and how important it is to have a good connection in this world. thank you for teaching me so much.
