i have applied for like five times in my life before i actually got a job. when i got the job offer with contract-signing up next, i first felt like “Really? Are you kidding me?” and it became an expression which the recruitment supervisor took lightly. She told me, “yes, you’re in!” and “you may be young blah blah…” yeah right, i’m not the first person ever to sign up at an early age.
eventually, when things became much of a ritual to me, i felt bored and i started looking around. i updated my online resume and there were several offers which became too nudgy to be ignored. i admit, i wanted to leave but i just had to be VERY VERY grateful to the first company which gave me work experience.
as i look back, i feel weirdly different just by looking at how i managed my interviews. modesty aside, exams were near perfect and now i knew why i always reached the final interview but most of the time leave the interview room cold. it is because I was too young and i had no experience to boot.
going back to my real field, i will be facing The Industry in what, seven months? i feel ahead of my batchmates. it is because i was lucky enough to be given a chance to be employed and gain work experience. i know it will be easier this time. i just know. :)
my buddy has plans of working in China with me and a few of our closest classmates, since her dad works there and we are on the same field. i told her, will it really be work, or extended college? LOL. anyway. i hope to have this plan concluded. China is not that far (her dad goes back here very weekend to check on them) and it will be a great opportunity if it becomes real.
i feel braced, but i think i’m very ready to face real life now. :) here comes Engineer Josh.
