No More Interviews! - Good or Bad News?

Indeed, I'm really caught by surprise. Was out for dinner with Aurelia mei after my SMU (SCS) interview. The SCS interview wasn't that pleasant for me. In fact, I recalled of a dream that is very identical to the interview setting, esp when one of the guys responded to me before the interview ended.

While having dinner, I received a call from one of the agencies. When she asked whether to hear the good or bad news first, I chose the bad news first. Bad News: You don't have to attend anymore interviews! *STUNTED!* I was thinking that I probably didn't get the HP job I wanted. Then she added..... Good News: You are hired by HP! Start date: 30th July 2007. I was sharing with Aurelia that I wanna start work on 1st August. It seem so prophetic. Best of all, I don't have to attend another interview as mentioned! Now, I owe someone a little coffee treat.

Yes! She'll be back in another 12 hours (est). Everything seems to be falling into place. Better go bathe and rest soon coz I gotta reach church by 12pm tomorrow. =) Littlelamb, gonna hear your voice in half a day's time. Amazing! Send my regards to your mum. *Happy Birthday, Auntie Hazel*

For those who wants to hear my testimony about this job, email me okay?

Be Blessed!

Interviews, Interviews and Interviews

What a week I had! On Tues, I went for HP interview for the position of IT Executive. Yesterday, I went for Jardine OneSolution for interview. To my amazement, even though I think I did the interview on average standard, I managed to get to the 2nd interviews. At this point in time, I'm still sourcing for many other great opportunities, learning the tricks of being interviewed and responding correctly in the best that I can.

One strange thing I discovered and am discovering is His favor over my life and now evidently, my job. I can feel the stress of being in the workforce and that can be really tiring. But nevertheless, I've been really blessed to learn many things about contractual terms and seeking for the best God has given to me. At the moment, I'd still prefer HP's offer even though it's a lower pay. I think it'll be more challenging doing paper work. =)

Probably, it will train my communication skills thru writing better than speech. In any case, I'm still waiting for more interviews and will hope to start work by 1st August! =) It'll be a great joy to work soon. God has been timely for all my financial needs. Just want to praise Him for many other things like providing job interviews, etc.

Littlelamb will be back in 2 days time. Gonna see her on Sunday! =) finally, the wait is over.

Be Blessed!

Interviews

It's been some time since I last updated. I'm currently resting as I'm not feeling well. Caught the cough/flu bug. Definitely not the "Tekong" cough as Gab mentioned. Anyway, I'm going for 2 interviews tomorrow before going for Biblical Studies Program (BSP).

Interestingly, I've been experiencing God's love for me over and over again. It has never been so real and quite tangible. Since last Wed, receiving this particular call changed my perspective of finding jobs. I think it's really divine. I went for the agency interview and was offered a job but after answering questions, both personality and technical tests, I was offered a slightly better job and it's really awesome. But I know, without experience, it's gonna be tough. Nevertheless, I believe God have it in control and I truly believe that He will see me through this.

I've no worries as I believe that I'll stay in this particular company even if the pay is lower. Probably, not too low I guess. No matter what, God is in control. I'll wait and see and taste His goodness over and over again. Life's been better each time I ask Him to renew my mind, heart and soul.

Will update you all the interview results and interview progress tomorrow. I had a call this afternoon for another interview. Cool! 2 interviews side by side and near to each other. However, I believe God is using me and I'm honoured to be used and serving for His purpose. I pray that God will humble me even more during my interviews and be wise in speaking out and pouring out my knowledge to them. I pray that the door will be opened and will stay on for me as I believe it's His Will.

Thanks for those who are praying for me. Just to let you all know that you have blessed my life in big and small ways. You know who you are. Those who received my email will know.

Be Blessed!

ICT is over! Job Hunting NOW!

Finally, ICT ends today at around 4:30pm. The entire day was really tiring as we did really little things and I didn't see a point in retaining us for another day. Nevertheless, all is over and the real work starts now till end of July. I'm pressed for time and money as I need to look for a job urgently.

Been applying for almost 15 or more job applications but no avail. Sensed that I should wait but I don't know the implication of waiting. I've been having part-time job but 'jobless' since graduation. Probably, I yearn too much of having holidays. Now, I'm getting a little bored and need a job as quickly as possible.

Tomorrow is Y.E.S 3! And I'm glad that I can be some part of it. In any case, I should be resting now. Aching all over after the IPPT. Failed running and failed all. Passed all the static stations with silver standard. Guess I should build my running stamina soon. Probably will take again in August/September.

Okay, time to go already. Gonna miss that littlelamb. She's @ Boston now.

Be Blessed!
