I am taking my time off from playing games right now (just for today I guess) and giving way for a new post!
So here the story goes...
After the Oregon Country Fair (which I will write sometime), I started to look for jobs which I think fits me. Most of the time, I spent online looking and applying. And honestly, I am unsure if I like it or not. But perhaps, it is more convenient to do rather than to do store-hopping. For it only not saves my time and energy, but also saves uhhmm I don't know, but I am sure it's more convenient that way. The application process here is so new for me. But I am starting to get comfortable and adapt it completely. I applied for Sales Associate, Teller, Customer Service, Receptionist, Cashier... and so on and so forth. Most of them, I am still waiting for replies, and some... failed! But I was lucky enough to be interviewed yesterday in one of the nation's top retailers in fashion industry and affordable luxury.
The interview went pretty well. I wasn't nervous nor too excited. I believe I stayed calm and remained eye to eye contact with the interviewer. She said I did fine but I am not the right person for the job that I had applied for - Beauty Advisor. Yeah! You read it right! Beauty Advisor, wtf? I smiled genuinely cuz even before the interview I knew I won't be able to have it. I'm not being negative to myself though. I told her the story in my application and asked her if it will be possible for her to put my application in different areas even there's no vacant right now. And she said she will tell her boss that I am interested.
So why did I applied then in Cosmetics Area knowing that I have no experience or having little knowledge? I applied online in their retail category. I did passed their online procedures and emailed me as if I applied in Cosmetics. I received an email for an interview, and I can choose my own time. I did ignored it but when I received new message from them, and I said to myself, "Hmmnn, maybe I can give it a try. There's nothing wrong in going in that interview. If I can get that job, I'd be happy. If not, I'd still be happy. At least, I will have an experience to be interviewed." The result was decent. Even I didn't got the job or passed the interview for that specific job, I did have the possibility that they will still consider me in different position or area. And I believe they might contact me in the near future if the store have vacant position for me in which I am an "expert".
Tell me do I have a reason not to believe them?
But of course, it doesn't mean that I should stop looking for work and just wait in their call.
