i was asked by an interviewer this question;

"so basically thats what u need to do if u are hired, this not an interesting job but rather a boring job, do u think this is the job that u looking for? do u think u can suit urself with this kins of job?"


* the position offered was system support and monitoring. the job is basically just sit there and monitor the server, if got problem occurs just write the problem's detail and call the system engineer to solve the problem.

anyone have any idea how to answe this question?

before this she asked me whether i know the scope of this job or not. i told her i know as i read it from the job advertisment. then she straight assume that that job is a boring job, i dint even mention the word 'boring' in front of her before she asked that question.


then i replied her that the word 'boring' has different defination to different kind of people, example is some people feel programmng is a challenging and interesting job to attempt but some find it boring as it only deals with coding. another example is some body can sit in front of a pc and spent 4-5 hours to surf in the internet while somebody cant sit in fornt of a computer more than 30 minutes. this is up to the person attitude and interest. u feel it boring doesnt mean other ppl feel boring to it.

any comments to my reply? is it abit rude? especially the last sentence. i think it is abit rude to say the last sentence.
