"Oh, I can't wait to end a great weekend by looking forward for my very first job training tomorrow!"
Lets say, I've something to share today. And before that, I have to declare something to everyone(in case all of you whom I've seldom or never really talk to would like to find out what is it);
I got expelled from school. NYP of course.
and lets just spare a thought for that one some other time ok? Thank you.
Like I've said earlier on my recent entry, I've been eagerly anticipating for what has become the resolution for all of those uncountable tries job seeking and finding that particular one that I'm content with. However, even if you feel a great sense of relief and satisfaction after all those trouble, part of you happens to be disatissfied that you have INDEED gotten a job. Please, don't get me wrong here; I'm feeling much happier now that I've allowed myself to approve that I'm 100% content and happy with this current one(although I'm still in the process of going through job training). Becoz one thing's for sure; everything in it fits the bill!(where my interest is concerned) So let me share with you, my ordeal throughout the whole course of April last month(where job seeking was a common routine for me).
It just so happens that I kinda miss that particular day where I'll be looking forward to search for a job on the newspaper (Saturdays to be exact); that's when I'll start browsing through those microscopic(hard to look at, gazeful) blant job vacancy ads. So its something I would like to call a ritual every Saturday, whereby my dad begin to take it as something of a "religion" to me too(not really a good one either). He'll offer me this one big pile of Classified newspapers of that particular week, and I'll start approaching and browsing through one by one in a transfixed manner. Occasionally, I'll look up into the Internet too for extras. So, Saturday's the only day I would like to declare "Labour Day" or "Labour Searching Day"(Haha). It does sound rather bemusing; but trust me that's how I always end up doing each and every Saturday afternoon. Then the usual circles when I happen to find a particular job that I like(and I daresay that most of em' are admin and HR job vacancies; areas that surprisingly are new to me). I think its more to the prospect rather than the job position itself; coz thats where I got really engrossed and excited about (haha). Although, on few occasions I happen to find a job on retail and F&B which I've particular had experience on both of these areas( not that much though, I would say 6 months or maybe lower); thats how "noob" I was in the working environment.
Anyhow, after which I'll spent a few more hours on my hotmail account sending off resumes to the desired companies that enquires to my interest in the job vacancy available. Although most of them happen to NOT reply to my emails(after receiving my resume), there's one who did and I'm surprisingly thankful at, after getting a response from this job agency person (I shan't say the name here), got a call and an interview on the very next morning.(hurray for emails!)
So to cut the story short, went about a whole lot of places(some of interest, some shabby) for a job interview after getting a call regarding my enquiry. On some occasion, I got lost in between "spaces" of the particular office and walkways leading to the location itself. And my word, it got the better of me(especially when you have to look into that area a couple of times and still found yourself "missing"). Alright, here's the problem after I found out the reason behind it; the building was itself hidden in between along the stretch of shophouses of Chinatown.(so much for streetdirectory.com.sg) But thank God, bless this good samaritans in Singapore who happen to notice my slight concern and agitation. Could be the fact that my body language shows a "distress signal" of some kind, I don't know. A few of these thoughtful Singaporeans stepped forward and lead me to the desired location. Oh, Thank you so much!
Although this was one of the very few job interviews that I went to, I wasn't shortlisted as a desirable candidate for the company later on. Best wishes for them(and I meant those who were shorlisted too). And after all those trouble looking for a job, one recommendation from a good friend of mine is all enough for me to secure a position!
Wish me luck people( and I need plenty of them tomorrow) for my job training tomorrow! Hello full-time job, and say goodbye to "Labour Searching Day"!
was rockin' on
