he's a tracker... the hunt is his obsession....

ok. i am in the middle of my most exciting hunt ever! well, just take out the exciting part. it is not exciting.


so i went on job hunting a couple of days ago and i did not do that well... things could have really been way better... anyway, i messed up an interview i had with *toot*. i don't think i should name any company.... anyway, everything felt awkward. i knew she did not like me from the start (if you guys haven't met me yet, a lot of people say i have an aura). so anyway, the interview went this way:

INTERVIEWER: what position are you applying for?
ME: i don't really know.. i just went here to give my resume cause my friend went here a week ago for an interview so i thought i should give my resume as well. what openings do you have?
INTERVIEWER: hmmm... (thinking) well, for your background, i think you can be a researcher or administrative staff. are you interested in that?
ME: ok, i think that sounds good.
INTERVIEWER: what is your expected salary?
ME: well, i'm not really expecting much for a fresh grad. and my expected salary would be different from my desired salary... so i guess 15k would be ok...
INTERVIEWER: what if i tell you that most fresh graduates in your field gets way below than 15k?
ME: (oh GOD! keeping a straight face) well, how low is low?
INTERVIEWER: well, it depends kung saang company ka mapupunta. i can't really say...
ME: it's ok.
INTERVIEWER: you're graduating in june?
ME: yes. those who finished early would graduate with those who have summer classes because we only have around 200 or so graduates. it would be quite expensive for us to have two graduations...
INTERVIEWER: I understand. Well, there is not that much demand as of the moment for the position you're applying for... and well, we need your transcript and diploma so I guess, you could contact us in june so you could take the test. it is quite impractical for you to take the test now.. so please contact us in june na lang...
ME: ok... thank you...













and then,













i left the room....





it was really awkward....









and i realized, the interview was not done yet. but why wouldn't she stop me from leaving the room? (even the people i talked to afterwards said i left in the middle of the interview) it was terrible! i didn't know what to do....









so i talked to my sister's friend, Kuya Bong yesterday and he told me how to go about my hunt and how i should handle myself in interviews.... it was interesting, he said you could go for the lion's crawl or something like that... i really learned a lot! so i asked my sis to give him a small token i got for him yesterday as a thank you...









MAIN POINT: life is about selling. AND I AGREE!!!




THANK YOU!






this post is senseless....






AND I AGREE!!







SIDE NOTE:

to the interviewer: i am terribly sorry for what happened. i know you found me obnoxious and arrogant. i really thought it was over when you told me to just give you a call in june.. i did not intend to make any disrespectful gesture... i am terribly sorry. if we cross paths again, i would apologize to you personally...




AND ONCE AGAIN, you probably won't read this, thank you kuya bong! =)
