Waiting...

The whole process of job hunting is really getting on my nerves. what i am asking is just a temporary job with average pay but dunno why the thing turns out to be so damn irritating and difficult. it's not that i got jitters towards THE thing called interview, in fact i am quite a pro when it comes to that area now, i had a set of answers in my mind even before the recruitment consultants ask me the questions. all those petty Q&A section is just like swapping a fly. Ok, maybe i'm a little bit too much, anyway, i just wanna vent my frustration, please bear with my grandiose expression.

The point is i hate the endless waiting after the interview. "miss, we will reach you soon, please wait for our calls" or "miss, we will call you soon" and blah blah blah.... The thing is they never call up SOON. So, can't blame me for being impatient, the feeling is snowballing in fits of tit-for-tat and it just a matter of time before it started to consume me.

Went to another job interview at OSK bank today, the manager seems to be pretty ok with me, but the fact that the person in charge of the department that i will attached to is off for travelling for the next two weeks, so i can only 100% confirm that the job is in my grab before 1st of April. which means more waiting.... (T.T)

Well, the Sir that interviewing me today is really knowledgable and respectable, have a really nice talk with him. But, the tough part of it is when he asked me to wrote an assay with the title "my future" on spot in 10 minutes. Well, this is what i wrote in that critical 600 seconds.

My future
"Future is something that is totally unpredictable for me, because there are alot of possibilities there waiting to be discovered. But, what i'm really sure is, no matter what field i'm indulged in, i will always strive for the best. Its not that i'm the ambitious type of person, well, if the best are waiting there for you to grab, why settle for the second best?

I will most likely enrolled in biology field in the future, a scientist or a researcher perhaps, i can always go for nutrition or biotechnology field, do things that i really interested in and apply the knowledge that i had into something that is real. Science is such a diverse field, there are still a lot of mysteries and blindspot that remains undiscovered. i think the passion for the knowledge itself is the drive that makes me want to be excel in the career. learning is a life long process, in order to have a zest towards the job, you must at least be enthusiastic in it. Some people may think money and materialistic pleasure is the prime motive and aspiration of their jobs, but for me, those are rewards, a bonus that comes a long with the real satisfaction you gained from your jobs.

In conclusion, i think i want to live my future with passion and purpose."

So, there you have it, the burst of my thoughts into words, i merely have time to read through what i wrote, every words came out in a knee jerk reflex. and the response i get is "hmm... good, sounds poetic, even have rhymes..."

Drats! smiley("furious3");

With the economy of asia still in rumbles and said to be on the slow rise, it will take some time before we can all really secure ourselves a job. nothing is even easy for college graduate nowadays.

do not give up.

I believe in you.

Hmmm....fascinating, telling them you are intrested in being in science when you are applying for a job in commerce.

But still, the passion bit was pretty good, so did he ask you:'How much passion are you willing to give for your future?'?

Hey, I know what you're going through.
I was looking for a temp job as well, or just something to freaking do freelance, I even thought, maybe I'll give up and just go try get a waitressing job then. hahahah Just tired of not having a job while I wait for the pending University decision. If I think about it too much it would indeed drive me nuts!
So I totally understand your frustration.
If Biology is actually your field, can you or did you try to apply to Universities? You could probably get a job there then depeding on your qualification, as apprentice at least... That would pave the way for you to urther in biology then.
Well, whatever you decide, I wish you all the best!
*hugs* Keep trying and don't give up!
