MOE music interview

oh well, the scenario went like this:

They gave a 20min scenario, like if your friend Timothy couldn't complete the marking ( because he said he was sick) and then it was the day of keying in marks, and then you knew he had this second job going on and he said he needed to do it to support his family. 

and so what would you do?

the interviewers didn't ask me about that, and they said that it's not because they didn't read my stuff but it's because my answer is very clear and they have no doubt about my intention. yay.

so this is what i wrote: 

dont help him because it is rightfully his work, and if i helped him next time more people will get me to bend the rules and keep secrets for them and i dont want to do that. 

and then i said that since teaching is his full time job he shouldn't be moonlighting and then if any other people ask me whats going on with this guy then i would say that he is doing something else outside, i cannot lie. and have to tell them whats going on. and if the principal etc believe him and they find that he's really in dire straits then they will find a way to help him. 

nothing to do with me!!

okay, then coming to the presentation, and then they tried to disrupt the class and make things difficult, but then it wasn't any thing difficult, i just told them that it's fine with me, i didn't feel difficult because this isn't anything big anyway, dealt with worse scenarios. like before you step into the class it is in chaos already the kids running around dont want to sit down and you have to chase them to their seat. it is tough. and all of them nodded their heads.

but when the aunty asked me so what else you applied for and i said phd and then she said what happens if you get it, then i said i will think later, havent really thought about it yet. 

and then the HR asked me whats your purpose of applying for phd, because i said i dont really want to leave school and i like my school very much, so i just want to continue studying and then at the end of it i want to teach. 

then i said that i like science, and then thats why i applied. 

and then they asked, science> music? and i was like yeah. because thats my first passion. 

then they looked sad, because i felt that maybe they really wanted music teachers who had music as their passions, but then can't really find? or like maybe cuz I'm honest and they feel so sad that I'm honest and then dont want to teach music. and i told them it is a very big jump from science to learning about pedagogies and things like that, and then they said if you pursue further studies, like in music dip and things like that it wouldnt help you to better teach students. and I'm like oh yeah.

haha and they laughed. oh well. its over! and i guess i dont really want to teach music, at the end of the day, because when push comes to shove, when i actually have to consider teaching the subject, then i realise i dont like it. 

oh well! :D i need to get some work done on my proposals, cannot be slack slacking all the way, my dear, or like playing games!!?!! who plays games now, only me the privileged slacker. maybe you should do a little bit of data cleaning too? :D

alright,
