Jobless No More!

Yes, I found a job already. Just within a span of two weeks: from re-doing the resume to emailing it over to the call for interview to the actual job interview to the call for job offer to the call for signing of employment letter.

It's a permanent one. As a buyer or purchaser, at some manufacturing company in Ang Mo Kio area. Starting on 15th March, with another guy. At least I'm not a noob alone :D

The job interview was quite an obstacle, which I overcame with God's favour and my last-minute preparation the night b4. Haha! It lasted for 1.5 hours, I was brain-dead by 10am bcos I woke up at 5am (scared late and quite kiasu).

The HR manager bombarded me nonstop with all sorts of challenging and tricky questions, I thought I was never gonna leave the room alive. The Purchasing manager came in next and "invited" me to ask him intelligent job-related questions. I was shag out by then and asked those simple and almost-brainless ones, I knew I was gonna be eliminated. I guess it was my desperate willingness and availability in this CMI challenging job position, that gotten me the chance to be offered this job.

I went for the pre-employment medical checkups and X-ray, which I know I'm super duper healthy. Haha! Cant wait for work to start, although I'll definitely miss sleeping in till late afternoon already. Hahaha!

I thank God that He answered my prayers and din let me go thru the hassle of more traumatising job interviews. I thank Cher Hao and everyone else for their continuous words of encouragement, various forms of help and support and prayers, to push me to keep looking for a job despite my low morale and defeated mindset.

For those who are still jobless, treat this rest period as a time for you to mature mentally and to do things that you have been neglecting. Continue to trust in God and do try again despite failures. No pain no gain!
