Dec 15_ called Q + A (a design company in Jalan Raja Chulan) to place myself as a trainee. They, in return, asked me to fax my resume which I did the next day.
One week later_ I called the company again about it. They said the company is interested in taking part in the program( the practical training program). I was flying over the moon. I’ll be called after the boss comes back from holiday, which is after new year.
The first week after new year_ I waited n waited n waited for the “call”. At last I called them. The person in charge wasn’t there.
The first day my college started_ I was left behind. Everybody is doing the training except for me. That’s coz I was too confident that I will be accepted as a trainee at the company. I still remained my confidence that I called the company for the last time. And I was called for an interview at last.
Wednesday_ my FIRST ever interview that I did for my profession. Everything went well. They were happy with my work. They seemed interested and said will give me a call by the end of the day. I was flying over the moon again till I received an sms. It was written with regrets, saying I can’t be accepted as a trainee. I blanked. It never occurred to me that they could reject me. It was heartache. I totally blanked. I didn’t see that coming. Sad, I asked what was the problem. It seems they need permanent staff, etc. I just couldn’t believe it. And so I tried planning my next step… which is postponing the practical training + ID’s studio to later. Some friends reminded me not to give up. Thank you, guys!!! But I still was planning on my postponing.
Thursday_ went to see my lecturer. She said I could postpone but she assured me not to give up as well. If there’s no other choice, I can continue with the postponing plan. Till then, I should still try other companies.
Friday_ went to another interview at another design company at Bandar Sri Tasik Permaisuri. It went well again. I like the boss and the other staff who interviewed me. They are nice and friendly. The boss even showed me the company’s current project. Trust and sharing, you see. But there was just one problem, again. It seems like, with CNY approaching and project in hold, the boss is afraid he’ll waste my time by accepting me. Coz there’s a big gap of holiday. He said it would have been better if I could have come earlier. They could have thought me more. See??? They are so willing to share. I like that.
So, there goes another company that couldn’t accept me.
**this interview was set up for me by Yee Teng…thank you, girl!!!
Monday(which is today)_ for the last time, I was to attend another interview again. I was so prepared to postpone the training and fantasized a lot about staying at home for three months that the thought of attending the interview came like a breeze. It didn’t affect me much. And I never felt so fed up attending interview and talking about my work over n over again. Anyhow, when I actually went to that company, they accepted me. And guess what…after dreaming of working at the jalan raja chulan or even the bdr sri tasik permaisuri’s company…it never crossed my mind that this company, which is just a 20 minutes walk away from my home, will accept me. It’s just weird to see how things settle down. When I want something, it turn out to be otherwise and vice versa.
So I’ll start my practical training tomorrow. The location is quite perfect. I’m familiar with Desa Pandan. The company is nearby almost everything. Bakery, McD, KFC, Watson, England Optical, etc. But I got to walk everywhere. I hope I’ll have a well toned legs then…hihihi…
So finally, my life is back into places. Back into order with a slight change( I’ll be working). Now, I shall wait for the big day. The day my sis gets married. It’s just two weeks away. Good on ya, sis!!!
