Some companies, especially MNC and listed company will be most likely to require you to sit for a test before proceeds to interview session. Attempt IQ test prior to interview will be an advantage to you.

Hope that the interview will be smooth for you and me! Good luck and all the best!

冷血

今天驾车路经建筑工地,看见路旁有两个身影,印裔同胞。他向从身旁呼啸而过的车辆挥手。我看见了,没有停车。站在这男人旁边的,是个女的,抱着个孩子。她一脸焦急,看了看怀抱中的孩子,男人继续挥手,希望有车子停下给予协助。

这一幕发生在那一刹那。我没有停车,我只是踏了下刹车板,又继续踩油门前进。坐在我身旁的妈妈,善意提醒我诈骗案、抢劫案等等利用人类善良的无耻之徒。我明白,报章三不五时刊登类似新闻,犯案手法层出不穷,让人防不胜防。逐渐的,我们忘了善良和互相帮助是怎么回事。

我内心不安,看了看照后镜,发现男人重复着同样的动作,而女人脸上的不安与焦虑,已经因为距离而微小得看不见了。仿佛意识到我的不悦,妈妈分析起来,说什么为何他们要在这里招车、难道一辆德士也招不到、巴士也可以载孩子去看医生、建筑工地都用印尼外劳,而不是印度同胞等等的怀疑。

是的,我在踩刹车板时没有考虑到这些可疑的因素,或许是自己社会经验尚浅,或是想法太天真太傻。

我想,如果妈妈手中抱着的是我,而我爸带着我们在路边“奢求热心人士协助”,我是打从心底希望有哪辆车可以停下。不是因为我病重,而是我不想看见父母因为自己的无能而干焦虑忧愁。他们为的不是自己,而是他们的孩子。

我这么告诉妈妈,她不语。不语,是因为我们都还有良心,还有一点同理心,余留丁点儿同情心。较后,妈妈说:“不停车,因为我怕有人伤害我的孩子。”这回,轮到我不语。

社会并不冷漠,只是大家都习惯了面具下的自己,习惯把自己武装起来,习惯了漠不关心。人类的历史说明了互相帮忙的重要性,而在现今社会,竟然是被利用的工具。是谁埋藏了人类的善良,孔子的人性本善还是正确的吗?

有的人,把自己一半的身家捐做慈善用途;有的人,每月准时缴领养计划的生活费;有的人,定时到孤儿院或养老院捐赠用品。感慨的是,没有人注意到身边急需帮助的人。

我不敢想太多,我只记得当小蔚从他们身旁驶过,那印裔妈妈脸上的不安,和那爸爸很无奈和无能地挣扎着是否该放弃,放弃相信社会还有热心人。我不晓得他们是否利用人的善心和热血行骗打枪,但我想给自己一个空间,相信社会不是冷血,相信社会还是有希望的。
