haha! ok im only doing this because glenn also has this post in his blog (haha!) in short, nainggit ko sa iyang post!
well, few days ago we went to a job fair (darn it's my nth time being in a job fair!) held in skool (alright it's my first time then). there were only few companies..well compared to the 103 companies in another not-so-famous skool LOL! i submitted my unappealing resume to 3 companies only! (see the over confident me??) i gave one to a local company and i was interviewed by the HR. the interview went fine. after all the call center's draining experience, i don't suck at interviews that much now than before. (that means i still suck at interviews! lol and i still cant answer the tell-me-something-about-yourself question right! whoever thought of that question is a genius :P) she asked me a couple of questions that are IT-related coz that's what i was applying for. one memorable question was to name some programming languages i used such as LINUX haha! she doesnt even know the difference bet. programming language and an operating system LOL that's why the interview went fine!
then i gave my resume to a bank. i was hesitant at first coz i really don't have any experience in accounting and management. (while everybody was in mgt and acctng classes, i was in a foreign language class xD i took all foreign language classes as electives haha) but then i heard abt the 25K allowance per month for the 1 year training and.. there.. i was bliinded by money again.there was actually no interview. the lady just explained the manager associates program (yeah they are hiring managers and that's what we're applying for! too much responsiblity for a fresh-lookiiing not-so-fresh graduate but who cares?? the 25K cures it all! lol) and the following day, we took the 5-hours-long exam wheew! it wasn't that difficult though, mostly are personality tests and we're asked to make an essay from the three topics given. mind you, my essay was one of a kind! hahaha!
and lastly, i submitted my resume to a software company that teaches japanese to their employess. honestly, i became interested first becoz of the japanese lessons but it is a software company too and im looking for an IT-related job so i decided to pursue it. we were given the exams that same day. it wasn't as easy as the bank exam coz it's more on math and IQ but i still tried my best. after all, it's not the first time that i've seen those kinds of questions.
well thursday came (which is today) and i was expecting a call or a text message from the software comp informing me that im for an interview or i failed but the former would be more interesting to read. whew! but i didnt get any :( i heard others were interviewed this afternoon and i wasn't! sad, ne? why is it so easy to get the job that i don't want yet so hard to get the job that i want?? i didnt want that call center thing at all but it wasn't hard for me to get in there. it wasn't that hard for me to decide to leave too haha! i tried my luck in the jobs that i want but to no avail. im almost giving up on getting the job that i really want :( my friends asked me what job i really wanna have and i just said nothing. coz i might disappoint them when i can't even get what i want. seems like what i want is always the one that's not for me (awww applicable sad sya sa laing aspects such as bois LOL)but my horoscope tells me that im going to travel a lot this year! dammit i hope it's true and coming sooner! darn i can't wait to travel and be out of the country! singapore, here i come! (LOL wishful thinking)..ohh well so sad T__T
