First Impressions Matter

          I went to HSBC Cyberjaya to collect my offer letter today. I reached 15 minutes early but after wait for around 30 minutes, my name still haven't called by the HR person. They asked my name and I told them I was the only one who applied for the Finance Department. Just after I told them this, one of the HR person  (Indian female) respond :" Oh..you are Albee!" I was so shocked after I heard that but I just answer her by knocking my head. Few questions crossed my mind and I was wondering...when have I told her my English name? How she knows about my name? 

          After I recalled my first interview, i realized that the HR person was the interviewer who interviewed me and I might have told her my English name during the time. Anyhow, I was still feeling sweet and happy that someone remember my name. There were around 40 people came for interview and it is hard to let your interviewer remember you, even your NAME! So, this somehow indicates that i managed to promote myself and create my first impression in the interviewer's mind. It is really something to be happy of...

         Although they have missed my offer letter and I have to wait for about one hour for them to re-prepare, but...it was still a Good Day for me!
