Interviews

With only 10 days left before the application deadline, everyone is trying to get as many interviews as they can. Friday afternoon, I was called for an interview at UCH Radiology on Monday. Monday isn’t exactly a very good day because one of my colleagues already has an interview scheduled at around noon. I didn’t manage to see my senior until Monday because Saturday was my holiday. I told my senior about the interview, and she wouldn’t let me go. I was told that I’ve already had a lot of interview (when I’ve only had 3, and I still haven’t got a job yet), and she didn’t like the possibilty of having only 1 intern in the hospital. I was naturally very frustrated. I am frustrated that she wasn’t more supportive. I didn’t see any reason why she would want to keep me here. The thing is there isn’t that much work, and 1 interns would definite be able to cover all the work. Plus the second intern is on her way back, so there would only be 1 intern in the hospital for a short time. Other departments have no problem with having no interns at all. Every year around the same time everyone goes around Hong Kong for interview, and most departments are very accommodating. These interviews will determine the direction of our career and they know it. Why on earth won’t they let an intern go for an interview?
