A LOooooong Post
February 25, 2007It's been a while since I last posted a entry to this blog. Well…what can I say? It's been one heck of a month, I guess, so this'll be one long entry.
The Cold Treatment
a story about finding a job…and how I failed horribly at it
You know what? I believe I now know the feeling of being given a cold treatment is like.
I think it was February 1 when I decided to finally stop bumming around and at least try finding a job and with Vic in the call center business, I thought I'd give it a try. Vic works for this call center in Cainta, I think I'd said it before that I will not work in a call center but what the heck?! Haha…hypocrisy at its finest eh?
So yeah I applied there February 1 and experienced the "cold treatment" first hand. And when I say cold treatment, I mean "cold" literally. Damn it, the front desk and waiting area alone is freezing. I'm not a cold-loving person, I just can't stand it even though I live in the mountains and every morning was a painfully cold experience.
So anyway, I think I was doing great with all the initial tests but then came that test with the phone. I found myself not saying anything at all maybe because it just felt really awkward for me. When I think about it, when was the last time I had been in a real phone conversation? Anyway, with my really idiotic speech/conversation with the phone I was bound to fail but fortunately I was asked to do it again at home and return to check the result.
February 15 was crunch time as I was asked to return at the said date to check the result of my "take-home" exam. Not so surprisingly, I somewhat passed and was asked to return the next day for the final interview.
At that moment, I was hit at a critical area…recovery is no possible.
I returned the next day to the reality that I'm really really bad with interviews. Damn, I think I did well with the reading test but when the open-ended questions started coming in, I am incredibly short of answers. Wait I think this has happened before…
Flashback to 3rd year High School: I passed the written exams for a scholarship grant to Singapore and only an interview is standing between me and a chance to study abroad. The moment the questions came flooding in…
End flashback. Anyway, even though I knew I was bound to fail I still waited for the results. I waited and waited and waited and was given the cold treatment once again. It's so freaking cold my legs are shaking. Damn, I should've not waited. I waited for about 4 hours only to find out that the results will be out next week. What the heck?! Haha…I laughed at myself for being an idiot and not asking when the results will be out. My waiting is not in vain though since I get to ogle the HR girl in the front desk.
I guess, I don't need to write about what happened next eh?
All in all, I could say it was an enlightening experience. I also think that it's actually better to be given the "cold" treatment than being in the "hot" seat eh? If you know what I mean. Anyway, with that done I think I'll give it a try again this August (I think there's a 6 month period until one can reapply) and check out if I improved. For now I'll try going into the freelance illustrator business where my cousin is currently in. It's one of those dream jobs I had when I was a little boy. Thinking about it, this what you call "living out a dream" right? I'm being given a chance to live out my childhood dream, I hope I get it right this time.
