job hunt.

Nakakapagod maghanap ng trabaho. Kahit meron ng jobstreet, jobsdb and other job sites parang tingin ko mas lalong liliit chances ko to get the job that I want. Sa mga applications ko kasi sa jobstreet 100+ ung mga applicants and the possibility na makita nila ung application ko is what.. 1/100+. Less than 1%. Kamusta naman un. Pero sa over 10 applications ko mga 4 palang ung tumawag at eto ha 100+ ung “under consideration status”. Hay. So far ito palang ung mga companies na inapplyan ko na nagkaroon ng kahit konting progress ung application ko..

First company. Nihon Software Outsourcing Vision, Inc. (NSOV). Actually ito ung very first na inapplyan ko and they were the first one to call me. The next day after I submitted my application sa Jobstreet they called me for an interview invitation. They are hiring software engr trainees na dadalin nila to Tokyo, Japan for training.. My parents accompanied me to the place nung day ng interview. Mejo alanganin ako kasi condominium ung place e so that means he’ll most probably interview me in a room na kaming dalawa lang nung interviewer. Pero thank God my parents were there kaya ayun sa podium nalang nung orchids tower ako ininterview. Haha.. OK naman ung interview pero they never called me again. sana tumawag sila ulit coz I really want to go to Japan. Weee ^_^

Ang Accenture naman. They called me at home sa landline (i was wondering kung bkit hindi sa cellphone..). The first time they called hindi ko nasagot because I was in school yata or naglalakwatsa ako. So that night they called again and I had my very first phone interview. Masungit ung babae. Hindi yata siya sa HR pero she was asking me all the questions yata para may record na ako sa knila just in case they want me to go there for an exam or an interview. Mahaba ung phone interview. I think it lasted around 30 mins. Ang haba kasi yata ng mga explanations ko. Ewan ko nga lang kung sinulat niya lahat un. Sana lang sayang kasi. Hehe. Ok naman ung interview pero the same thing, they also didn’t call me again. Is there a problem with me? Wala naman siguro.. waaa… super bothered na ako.

Ang IBM. Tumawag. Nakapagexam ako. Grabe sa time pressure. Ewan ko ba. Hindi naman siguro isang genius ung hanap nila pero sobrang kulang sa time ung exam. Imagine 15 difficult questions yta within what.. 15 mins. That means 1 minute per question na feeling ko it would take me forever to answer one. I wont be giving details kung anung klaseng exam. Unfair sakin un at sa ibang nagexam. Lol. Mabilis ung pagcheck nila sa exam kasi right after you take the exam siguro mga 15mins or so ibibigay na nila ung result. At sa kasawiang palad bagsak ako. Damn. Aminado ako I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t expect the kind of exam na binigay nila but since they said pwedeng magexam ulit after six months.. well kung wala pa akong work ng mga time na un (na sana hindi naman mangyare) or wala na akong work talaga e pwede na akong magapply ulit. Baka by that time handa na ako sa exam nila. Hehe.

Eto ang huli. Oracle. I applied matagal na tapos nagpasubmit din ako kay toni ng resume na hindi ko alam kung nasubmit niya. They called me siguro after 2 weeks and they asked me to take the exam. Ang tagal nung exam at nahirapan talaga ako. Sobra. So I wasn’t expecting their call after nun. Tapos tumawag sa hindi ko malamang reason e feeling ko naman palpak ung exam ko(honestly) at un they scheduled me for a non-technical interview. Sobrang kalmado ako nun. Before I got to their office parang sobrang kabado ako pero nung simula na nung interview with ms. Jaja naging relaxed naman ako maybe because I find her too nice siguro kaya hindi ako kinabahan. Hehe. Tapos they called me again for a technical interview which happened earlier this day. The interviewer is kinda cute kaya mejo nawala focus ko. Smile kasi ng smile amf. Hahahaha.. Ok na sana ung interview kaya lang pinagcode pa ako sa paper. Grabe nablanko ako tlga. Ok na tlga sana pero I totally blew it dahil sa makakalimutin kong kokote. Damn. Inis tlga ako sa sarili ko ngayon. Kaya nga hindi ako makatulog. Waaaaaaa…. Sana tumawag.. Sana tumawag..

Anu kaya mangyayare?

Tatawag pa ba sakin ung Oracle or hindi na?

Sana tumawag pa. Huhuhuhu… =’<
