when you screw up, make sure it's worth it.



Tadaaa!
Let's welcome the year of the rabbit as a BUM! again sigh.. well actually semi-bum

Let's start with.
JANUARY!

Mid of January, I asked for an indefinite leave at the  call center thingy for like 2 weeks, one main reason for that is I need to concentrate more on the research job on the University of the Philippines. So all the while I can finish the job within two weeks, but It was painstakingly impossible to finish the research at that time, so an extension must be done and sacrifice must be done.
So I quit the job at the call center, well not quit but I called and told them that I'm not going to work with them anymore, I gave them 3 resignation letter on separate occasions, every time I submit that letter they just gave me a leave of absence instead. So this time I was thinking that hey, maybe if I gave them another letter, they are just gonna extend my leave so blame me for being unprofessional (which is I did) I quit the job.
By the last quarter of January I'm like a superhuman to interviewing people, transcription and scheduling and a whole bunch of stress, but I'm happy, contented with my work. It's not like a robot, you repeat yourself every time, you do the same thing over and over, there is no growth, this time I learned a lot.

FEBRUARY

So the research is almost over, thank god, So I decided to look for a job.
I brought the Sunday news paper and browse for an opening the will fit my skill HO-HA!
and I saw this ad, it's like a real estate firm and they are looking fo a communication specialist, wow and the description fits me perfectly.
So, I sent my resume through  email and waited. after a day or two, they informed me for a formal interview.
Tadaa! Yes! so I did create my folio, and went there with high hopes, there were a lot of unemployed at that time and my heart was really pounding, when they called my name, I placed a smile and talked like a call center agent.
Interviewee: So your an artist ah? Our problem with artist, you know, they are weird are you weird?
Me: (oh syet! YES I am a bit weird, but weird is good, its unique, but i'm not totally weird) hahaha! (laugh) Weird? Nah, I'm not, if there is weirdness in me it would be in an acceptable rage (can I hit rewind?)
Interviewee: Are you a loner??
Me (yes! I prefer to work alone! It's faster and I'm an independent individual err) NO ma'am! (i lied) I'm a people person, I got a lot of friends (in facebook) and I'm a team player (sometimes)

And at the end of the interview I was like in a deep shit.

So I waited, and waited, and waited and then a text to report to there office

It was 8:30 and it was a second call.
This is intense!
So there were a lot of people again, and I look kinda nerdy at that time, and its pretty called. I wish I had a hot choco at that moment, so the Human Resource personnel called me and said

someone got the job your applying for, but since your good at graphics and photoshop maybe we could send you to the marketing division and apply for a graphic artist interview would be 9:00
So I waited, and waited...
There are 3 graphic artist are applying, including me.
They are talking and of course I can hear them, and they are talking about some application and me being such an ass, kept my silence and just listened, and you know what this two are stupid and they don't know a thing! wow! I know that is a harsh thing to say but men! they are talking bullcrap! they are bragging about the works they are doing but actually whenever the other person is like asking question and the other person will answer it's wrong. I mean wow. 
So the interview at 9:00 went well for me.
I'm a bit shaky because of the sweat and the cold morning air, and I saw the comments "highly recommended"
I went home with a smile.
Then like I mentioned in my title "when you screw up" I did that in my final interview with no other than.....
tadaa! mr. Goshen himself wow. So I got really, really nervous and I was like freaking out and having a panic attack at the same time. with only 2 candidates left one on one head on.
and I messed up the interview, I did not talk much, and I'm not smiling **i think.

And today....


Still got no call. fuck right?
maybe I need to find another job somewhere else? I dunno.
But I'm still hoping that the other candidate fuck things up hehe.
it's there lost not mine (hahahaha just shoot me)
