First interview experience not getting a job but getting something back.💪

After graduation, we didn't officially graduate, but we decided to apply for a FMCG MT job. Before that day, there was a lot of chaos, many dresses, shoes, and unpreparedness. Fortunately, our parents helped to the end of the interview.

Before going up to the assessment, still thinking about whether it should return well? Can we really do it? It feels like I am not suitable for there until I secretly want to cry. But when I start doing activities, I meet friends who are very cute, gradually relax.

We felt that we were not doing well in the morning, but as the afternoon began to adjust and enjoy more activities, until the last interview, which lasted only about five minutes, we realized that we were not prepared well and secretly guessed the results, and finally received a regret mail back.

Even though we didn't get the job, we felt that it was a great experience for the next field, and the most valuable thing is that we met many new friends after the previous period, almost no one. This is what life is really starting. 🥹😭

... Read moreการสัมภาษณ์งานครั้งแรกนั้นมักเต็มไปด้วยความกังวลและความไม่แน่ใจเหมือนกับประสบการณ์นี้ ที่แม้จะไม่ได้รับการตอบรับ แต่สิ่งที่ได้กลับมานั้นมีคุณค่ามากกว่าผลลัพธ์ทันที ในช่วงเวลานั้น นอกจากความไม่พร้อมเรื่องชุดและอุปกรณ์แล้ว สิ่งสำคัญคือจิตใจที่ต้องแข็งแรงและมีความตั้งใจ แม้ว่าจะรู้สึกเหมือนไม่เหมาะกับที่ตรงนั้นหรืออยากถอยหนี แต่การได้เจอเพื่อนร่วมกิจกรรมที่ดีช่วยให้รู้สึกผ่อนคลายและกล้าแสดงออกมากขึ้น ซึ่งเป็นเคล็ดลับสำคัญที่แนะนำสำหรับคนที่กำลังจะเข้าสัมภาษณ์งาน คือต้องหากำลังใจจากคนรอบข้าง และเปิดใจรับประสบการณ์ใหม่ การผ่านกิจกรรมต่าง ๆ ในช่วง assessment นั้นยังช่วยสร้างทักษะการปรับตัวและการทำงานเป็นทีม ซึ่งเป็นพื้นฐานสำคัญสำหรับการทำงานในวงการ FMCG หรือธุรกิจที่เน้นความคล่องตัวสูง นอกจากนี้ยังแสดงให้เห็นว่าสำหรับการสัมภาษณ์งานไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องของความรู้หรือทักษะเท่านั้น แต่รวมถึงการแสดงตัวตนและความสามารถในการเข้าสังคมด้วย ในรอบสัมภาษณ์สุดท้าย แม้เพียงห้านาทีแต่ก็เป็นบทเรียนให้รู้ว่าการเตรียมตัวมีความสำคัญมาก อย่างไรก็ตาม การได้รับ regret mail ไม่ใช่จุดจบ แต่เป็นเพียงบทเรียนที่ทำให้เราแข็งแรงขึ้นและขยันเตรียมตัวในครั้งต่อไป สำหรับคนที่กำลังเตรียมตัวสัมภาษณ์งาน อยากแนะนำให้เตรียมทั้งองค์ความรู้และจิตใจ อย่ากลัวที่จะล้มเหลวแต่จงใช้มันเป็นแรงผลักดัน และอย่าลืมเปิดใจเพื่อสร้างมิตรภาพในระหว่างการสัมภาษณ์ เพราะมิตรแท้ที่ได้จากประสบการณ์เหล่านี้อาจจะเป็นแรงสนับสนุนที่สำคัญในยามต้องแข่งขันในโลกการทำงานจริง
