My interview experience. My present job is safety supervisor for the company which specializes in electrical & mechanical installation for factory and building. I used to work at many construction sites in many provinces. But because I had some troubles with my leader, so I had to return to the office and work there until now. I want to change my job. I want to get a similar position in the factory instead of the construction site. Therefore, I tried my best to prepare everything for this change. I joined in some course to improve my professional knowledge & get some certificates. I searched many articles about the interview experience on internet. I prepared my CV carefully. And I applied for many companies. But I was failed again and again. In some cases, they refused me because they didn’t believe that I worked as a safety supervisor. In some other cases, I wasn’t unsuccessful because of my English ability. In the most recent case, I got the fail result again. The reason which they give me made me feel so disappointed. I put a lot of expectations for this interview because this is the company which I really want to apply for. There were two parts of interview. The first time was with the direct manager, and the second time was with the HR manager. I was passed the first time of the interview but I was failed in the second. But I still keep contacting with the direct manager who interviewed me in the first time. Yesterday, he called me and he said that he appreciated my knowledge and experience, but the HR manager didn’t accept me because he feels that I’m so meek and mild. And he said that he felt so sorry about that. How do I have to prove? I prepared everything carefully for the second interview. And I think everything were very good during the interview. But when the HR manager asked me: “What’s your comment about yourself?” I didn’t prepare for this question. I said that: “Everyone commented that I’m meek”. And that answer killed my opportunity. Before that, when I got the result, I thought I was failed because my English listening and speaking skill is so bad. In the interview, I admitted that is my weakness. But I really feel so sorry and can’t accept his reason. It’s unacceptable. If he said that I was failed because I’m not good at English or don’t have enough experience, maybe I would feel more pleasant. I just received a call for new interview appointment. I don’t like this company as above one. But I will try and learn by experience of previous time.

Taylor Swift. I find out a new hobby these days. It is music of Taylor Swift. I’m interested in her life through article on internet first. Then I’m curious about her music. And I realize that they are also wonderful. I usually listen to them again and again before sleeping. But I’m not able to understand what she’s singing, even when reading the lyrics. There are many sentences which I can’t guess what the meaning is. However, I have learned some phrases which she often use in her songs. For example, the phrase “never ever” is used to emphasize “never” so strongly. She is really a beautiful and talent girl. She loves singing and composing the songs for herself. She can get more money and become famous on over the world by her pleasure. In her life, maybe she has a bit of troubles about personal sentiment. Such troubles are her source of inspiration for composing the songs. It’s interesting that almost of them are loved and admired. I would like to tell you about the song “Safe and sound”. This song was written by her and other three songwriters. I listened to it in the first time by a contestant of the TV show “The voice of Vietnam” in last year. But I didn’t feel impressive until I listened to the voice of Taylor Swift. I think she sang by her own feeling. Therefore, it becomes attractive. “I remember tears streaming down your face When I said, I’ll never let you go When all those shadows almost killed your light I remember you say, don’t leave me here alone But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight ………………………. ………………………. Just close your eyes You’ll be alright Come morning light, You and I’ll be safe and sound…” According to my feeling, the song is a story about the life in wartime. The characters in this story feel extremely worry when the war keeps raging. But they don’t stop hoping everything will be alright and they will be safe and sound. The lyric is gentle and more emotion. In this song, there are some sentences which I can’t understand clearly. For example, “But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight”. I don’t know what it means. I’m unable to translate into Vietnamese. With the phrase “Just close your eyes”, what does the word “just” mean? And I also don’t understand the meaning of the phrase “hold on” in the sentence “Hold on to this lullaby”.

My hometown. I want to talk about my hometown. It is the village in Ben Luc District, Long An Province. I will describe a little about my village so that you can imagine. My hometown is the land of peace and fresh with a river and many green fields. Far away, there are some houses under the row of bamboo. My house is one of them. It’s on the riverside. When I was a child, every afternoon, I and my friends often go swimming. In the past, when walking on the field, you can see some buffaloes grazing, but at present you can not. Because people don’t use buffalo for plowing. Instead that, people use tractors. People in my village is very gentle and friendly. When they meet together, they always greet with a smile. And they often help together when in trouble. This is the feature of the village. This is not the same as in urban. Because in urban, sometimes their house side by side but they never see together. When I was a child, I and my friends had many funny games such as fly a kite, catch crickets or sometimes we only walk together around the fields. I have a strong attachment to my village during my childhood. And now, I always feel happy and peaceful when I come back my home.
