leading up to the interview, i received a call from the agency, understand the purpose of it is to know me better- my name, qualifications, age, etc. They placed heavy emphasis on asking about my GPA (note that they have already asked once here). I received 4-5 calls confirming my interview timing in the span of 3 minutes.
During the interview, everything seems fine, UNTIL the interviewer ask about my GPA again, what are the universities that I have applied to, and whether I have heard back from any. I mentioned that i have went for interview with this particular school and she commented “with this kind of gpa, you’re still able to get an interview with this school???” in which I had to defend myself in telling her as nicely as i can that schools looks at your portfolio to a certain extent too. To make matters worse, she asked about the timeline leading up to the interview and after I replied, she commented “nowadays, they reply singaporean's so promptly” her face, and tone, obviously upset about it. if you’re upset about the ‘privileges’ that singaporeans ‘supposedly’ receive from universities, don’t take it out on the students.
I noticed another intern working over there and looking pretty uncomfortable, hope she’s doing ok there. do not go for the interview!!!!!
