  Hi...I'm graduatg frm Uni in May and was shortlisted for a second interview (for a job) this Wed.
  
  Problem is, I'm only half-hearted abt that job- it's a financial sales one. =P
  
  Should I still go for the interview even though I'm not that interested in it????
  
  Thanks ppl
  
  p/s: what IF they offer me the job right there & then, what am I gonna say to them???

  take the interview first lah, take it as gaining some experience for the interview of the job u wanted, it helps to overcome some mistakes n weakness u have.
  if they offer u the job, then say u need time to think about the offer loh

  I think u should look for another job since u r not very keen for this interview.
  
  Remember.....unless u like the job very much or u enjoy the "higH" salary which they r going to offer u...if not, u will feel very sian when u working just bcoz u need a job.

  If you don't like it, don't go for it. Look at me, I went for an interview for a job I really look forward to, got it and look what I'm doing now, OT EVERY FCUKING NIGHT!!!

  i will still go, just to get into the momentum of going for interviews. besides if they can reject your application, u also can reject their offer meh. interview is for them to access u, and u to access them back too.
