I'm EMPLOYED!!!

Oh yea..the long awaited status. Was surprised to get the call to ask me to go work on monday...yea...MONDAY! That's like 2 days notice? At least a week or so, I need the time to prepare and all. No...this company decided to finally call me to work for a small amount of pay but I think with a bundle of work. Still waiting for my another interview on monday, hope I get through that and it'll all be cleared....YEAH, if that company says OK, I'm on my way to another place to work. But for safety and peace of mind ( yea...parents will continue with their never ending breach to my life story) , I'll do this first while waiting.

Talking bout me being able to drive, sad sad...almost bang something today. Concentration wasn't there. Sigh, and that cost me my driving freedom. But it was really creepy, got me real scared too. Hah...but nothing compared to the ghost story I heard over the radio last night. Really sent the shivers to my bones, till I needed to chat with someone to distract myself. Anyway, talking bout cars, going to get mine soon. Dad plans on a small car for me, friends recommending me the other. I don't mind any of it. Just have a car, and it's gonna be automatic. Yea, cuts down my mother's worries bout me driving on the road. You should hear her comments on my driving the other day. Either too fast, or I'm too reckless or I'm not fit to drive. Been hearing that since..FOREVER. Everytime my mom's there, she'll end up with the same comments. That's all I hear. And they get all worried too much bout my work and all. Heck, she's more interested to read what my contract has to say and read it first. Probably they didn't have that experience with my brothers. I'm kinda like their first-time thing. Yea, the fact that they "escort" me to all my interviews kinda proves that. AND the MANY MANY comments I hear from them. No matter how many times I said I'll be okay and I know what to do, they'll repeat it all over again. I guess it's a blessing but people think I depend on them too much. Frankly, I do want to be independent. Just that my parents don't seem to want it to be that way. So, I'll be stuck with them for quite sometime. My mom even said if I'm posted to work at another state, she suggest that my dad comes with me!! Oh no...I'm crossing my fingers and hopes that she's joking. But for now, I'll please them by letting them do what they want. Feeling the choke already and guess once I start working, it's the best time to tell them to lay back and rest. I can be independent. I can live on my own... ( well...not for the first few months la...pay so little... :P ) I promise to make the best out of the work that I do...it's a personal pledge.

So until I start working...it's gonna be a busy week next week coz convo is coming up!! Gee...I wonder if anyone else has interesting news to update me with by then. So that's all lar...flu is getting to me..time to sleep!!

Killing me softly....

Sigh, the boredom is doing just that!! Can't believe I've been just bumming around since May!! Yeap, still jobless with no directions. Juniors are worrying bout their future already since this senior of theirs with good results but no job. Misconception. That's what people relate to jobless graduate these days since the bad press about it. C'mon, first thing that strikes your mind when you hear bout unemployed graduate : ATTITUDE PROBLEM. In my case, well, there is some truth in it I guess.

It was since that one interview where the interviewer shared his experience, it got me thinking that I would wan to head to the direction that I think I should be in: The Telecommunications Industry. With that, obviously then comes all the choices and companies that I can actually apply for. The problem was, the jobs I wanted, no publication of any vacancies. Sad eh? When I saw the vacancy on it, without hesitation, resumes all posted in. Went for interviews. Now I'm just waiting for call backs...crossing my fingers and hoping that I get them by next week.

Part bout the attitude problem, people say I'm just choosy. Probably I am. The other day, there's 2 recruitment agencies called up.

First call....

Recruitment agency #1 : Hello, we see that you might just be still unemployed. There's this opening for ...erm...Admin Assistant. Would you be interested?

Me: What's the job scope like?

Recruitment agency #1: It's all writing on ISO stuff.

Me: Sorry not interested.

Second call...

Recruitment agency #2: Hi, this is *some name*, we see that you applied for engineering position, but no jobs for that, but we do have one internally. We are looking for a recruitor. Would you be interested?

Me: What's the job scope like?

Recruitment agency #2: It's you interviewing people for our clients, mainly telecommunications company.

Me: Sorry not interested.

Recruitment agency #2: Ermm...is it? Why leh? (acting cute with the voice)

Me: (duh..!! ) I rather be working in your client companies rather than being the one interviewing new people for them. ** Well..didn't really say that...I just said I wasn't interested.

So does this two situations make me a choosy person? Some might say yes, some might think not. But what I have in mind was, after 5 dreadful and torturing years in uni for that piece of paper, I think I would rather work with a company that is on par with my qualifications. Need I say more??
