It’s time for one of those posts again. The obligatory end-of-year post on the pit-falls and successes of the year ‘almost’ gone-by. I thank my Daddy God that 2007 was a year of more successes than pit-falls and that most of the pit-falls were eventually turned into successes anyway. If I had to sum up [...]

Tempting

I should not have been checking my personal e-mail account during work. No, I didn’t get caught, but I looked through the job ads for fun (read: I was bored), and there’s one that caught my eye. The position of Journalist for MediaConnect Asia Pte Ltd. It’s a media company that maintains and protects media [...]
Employed

So I’ve been employed as a Writer for a kid’s magazine. The starting pay is really low. $1,500 for the first three months, after which there’ll be an evaluation and adjustment of pay based on performance. Someone said I should request for higher starting pay. I wonder why it didn’t occur to me, when I [...]
I Am Not Who You Said I Am

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. I really do. I know you meant well. But I’m not how you described me. You only knew me for 5 minutes. And maybe, that does entitle you to form impressions of me. But I refuse, REFUSE to see myself the way you described me. Neither will I [...]
How To Enjoy Interviews
Posted in job search on May 31, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I had a wonderful time at an interview last week. Though I’ve been informed I didn’t get the job, it was still wonderful. I laughed and actually conversed with the interviewers. I felt more like myself and more relaxed than I ever felt at any interview. I think they enjoyed themselves too, because they kept [...]
Being Unemployed
Posted in job search, life on May 22, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Not for long, I think. The advertising agencies are responding. Hip Hip and Hooray! But meanwhile, being unemployed means I get to witness TV at its best. At 5:00 PM yesterday, I witnessed this scene on Ghost Whisperer which can only go down in TV History as the best scene ever. Ghost Whisperer (a.k.a Lamest [...]
What A Difference A Day Made

So yesterday I was down, and today I am H-A-P-P-Y. I’m so happy, it disgusts me. And I have good reason not to be happy today because I did something I can only describe as cosmically stupid. Some recruitment consultant called me up asking if she could send my resume for this job which involves [...]
I Do So Desire To Cold-Call
Posted in funnies, job search on May 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I just read the requirements for some position as a Research Assistant. One of the criterias for the applicant is that they must desire to cold-call. That cracked me up. Honestly, I cannot imagine anyone who desires to cold-call. Like, can you imagine someone who is like, “oh my god, I greatly desire to call [...]
Person For Hire. Any Takers?
Posted in job search on May 3, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I didn’t get the job — the writing one. I am disappointed. However, the interviewer was kind enough to offer me some advice at my request. From what he said, I gathered there’s no really hard-and-fast rule. I guess all this comes with practice and experience? Anyhow, I’m quite sick of the whole job search. [...]
On Writing And The Job Search
Posted in job search, school, writing on May 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
“The english is very strong… It’s exceedingly well-expressed.” These are the words my lecturer of Creative Writing used to describe my compositions during our class presentations. Perhaps I’m too demanding, but I’d wished that there were more to my writing than my strong command of english or the clarity with which I expressed my ideas. [...]
