This blog has taken all the stories about my frustration for not having a job. Guess what? I’m blogging again about jobs and having none.
Anyway, so within the week, I attended an exposure trip which was sponsored by the company I applied to. It’s a recruitment post so they asked me to go in a job fair. The experience was fun and just about right. Nothing is really special. They are a big company but not really known here in the Philippines so students hesitate in going into the company’s booth. It was still tiring because I woke up and got in the building really early and nobody was in the office!!! So I had to wait for minutes standing in the hall. I was even the one who opened their door because I was asked to!
Final interview with the manager also happened in the school’s library. It was just random talk and blahblah. A little casual because he wanted it that way. Oh, he asked for what can I contribute to their company. Gave me a week to pass something. I’ve done my presentation but I don’t know where to send it.. I wouldn’t want to visit them just for the proposal ( I was thinking of sending it through email or something).
Wednesday, I went on a date. Ate all my heart out during dinner at a Filipino buffet restaurant. Yes, pigged out! I was so stressed and stressed and pressured and pressured. I got call from another company. I got invited for an interview for the next day. And thank God the time was not early.
So the next day, Thursday, I attended the interview. Oh boy, I didn’t realize their office is located in a.. I can’t describe it. It’s how I assumed it will be because it’s not a usual spot for office buildings but it was way more than that. (Ha, I lack strange imagination.) But their office environment is okay for me, they allow flats, I guess. Their manager is really nice that we even talk in Filipino. I don’t know, she started it! You know what others say, should answer back using the language the person used when he asked you something. It was very quick. Found myself at home 5 hours from the time I went out.
While I was eating lunch, someone called and asked for a phone interview. Okay. I never thought I’d hear from them because it’s been a long while since I took their pre-employment exam. Oh, but I read about them and people say that the company’s employment processing is slow blahblah. Oh, the interviewer told me that there would be someone talking to me the same day or Friday – but no one called. She could have said I didn’t make her assessment rather than telling me to expect a call. So I assume that I passed. ((:
When I went to sleep, I was awaken by a phone call. I thought it’s from the same company who told me to expect a call but not. It’s from another company and we talked for about 18 minutes! My cell burned my left ear, if I may say. Really, it was a long call discussing about my internship and experience as a call center trainee. I don’t know why she made fuss about those two things.. she didn’t ask me other things just that. Whatever.
Oh, help me God and you guys keep praying that I land on a job soon! Because my mom’s pressuring me and blaming me for not taking that MB offer is killing me. Srsly. I am not suicidal at the moment and never will be but thissssssssss!!! It’s too much, I don’t even seek for her help at this time.
It’s just so depressing how she’s making it a big deal. Oh probably because she’s giving me money for interview trips but really.. If there’s still nothing for me, then there’s nothing for me. I’m trying harder.. I hope she sees that. TTFN
