  Agency A helped me to arrange an interview with this foreign bank.
  duties wise should be just data entry only
  remuneration wise its 1.4k
  location wise it's at raffles place
  type: temp to perm
  
  Agency B called me to say got this job with this local co i said i'm interested.. 10 min later she called to say hey u're hired...
  duties wise.. accounts assistant lor
  remuneration wise its 7 per hour
  location wise its at tiong bahru
  type: temp must stay till end of december at least
  
  i live in yishun...
  
  when i went down to agency B, i told her i wanna go on to take up acca... but hor a few days afterwards, thanks to somebody, i finally made up my mind to go for economics and finance (after i finish my dip, den go on to acca... dun ask me y i go do 2 certs.. cos i siao ok?)
  
  so lookin at what i wanna do nxt time, and renumeration wise, and company wise, and location wise, i should go for the bank
  
  but bank i need to go thru 2 rounds of interviews.. so i might not get hired
  
  anyway this part not important cos i decided i wan go try my luck at the bank
  
  wat do i tell agency b?

  or if u want to give good impression next time go for it again.... then tell her you unable to commit as the time and location not suitable.
