Updates after my interview with Borsch, Worcester

Hi guys and gals,

I went for an interview with Borsch in Worcester last week. It went quite smoothly and I answered all their questions satisfactorily, at least this was what I thought. It was not tough but I doubt I will get this job as I will be the only chinese working in the factory if hired. I guess the odds are low that I can will get this position. It was a vacancy for Process Engineer. Anyway, result will be out by this week, if all goes well I will need to attend a second follow up interview. Pray for me!!! Please!!!

Want to know what I did for the past couple of weeks? Well here are some photos for you guys:

Do you know where is this lovely and peaceful place? Doesn't it look nice and serene? This is Peak District, its not far away from Nottingham. About 1 hour bus ride. This was a trip organised by my church fellowship members. We went for fellowship and hiking. I took the opportunity to meet a few new mates. It was just a day trip, all sunny but the wind was quite chilly. We were all well wrapped up until we were halfway through, then we started to sweat like pigs and had to peel off some layers just like onions. Great trip. I will certainly go again soon.

I am now working with Siemens Business Centre

Hi mates,


I think you must have been waiting for my updates here. Well, things are going fine with me here, I am now working full time for Siemens Business Centre as a data processor. The job is never boring, we have many different task to do which varies along a day's work. All task are listed on duty rosters each morning.


For those who want to know what I do, I will explain more in this paragraph, however if you are not interested then skip on to the next paragraph. My job is quite challenging at times. I work for Barclays Bank and Siemens PLC. There are so much manual paper work in a bank that most of its works are subcontracted. Siemens help Barclay to migrate into paperless system gradually so we help to sort forms, letters then scanned them to be used in computerise systems.


Here is my working pass:


Weather is getting really chilly, a nice feel of autumn here. Temperature averages to about 13 degree in the day and drop to freezing point at night. Frozen moments as I wait for bus to work every morning (6.30 am). A touch of frost is expected tomorrow morning in Nottingham, so we have to be careful while on the road. Have to say goodbye to T shirts and Shorts. Welcome to scarfs, hat, ear moths and gloves. ITS AUTUMN!!! Its getting dull and days are becoming shorter. It gets dark at 6.15pm now and sunrises at about 7.30 am...you will not need to smoke to see "smoke" billowing out from you as its so cold that we steam as we breath.


Here are some photos to keep you up to date:

So glad to receive a call from ATA employment agencies!

I am so glad to be receiving a call from ATA engineering employment agency. An appointment was set for initial interview on Thursday, 11th October at 12pm. I need to travel down to Leicester for the interview as they have no branches here in Nottingham. ATA is reputable for its experience in recruiting engineering candidates into large and popular firms. I am glad to be called for an interview.

Therefore, these few days are going to be filled with preparation. I will need to scroll through some reference books for interview tips and hints. I have given back most of my engineering knowledge to my old lecturers, so its time for a little revision and brush up. Wish me luck friends.
