My reflections on Jobhunt...

Naggy post, full of blabbers... =P

Hmm.. How should I start? Basically, many around me (Family and relatives) have asked me to enjoy my 'holidays'/rest first before finding a job.. Well, maybe that's true.. Afterall, they have gone through so much more than me.. And I definitely know that once I enter the workforce, I wouldnt have time to indulge like what I'm doing everyday now.. Which basically revolves around eye therapy (watch shows on TV/online, loitering around shopping malls to let the beautiful sights feed my 'shallow' eyes =P) Waking up naturally at around 11 plus.. Life's a bed of roses I tell ya~ *I've sinned*

But maybe life shouldnt be like this, for too long.. HAha! Yes, I see that alot of my friends have landed themselves their desired jobs.. Some earning big bucks, some not.. This is unnecessary stress loh! Self inflicted~ HAha.. Why am I so eager to find a job which would ultimately mean an end to all those lazy brunches/marketing with mummy during weekdays.. Waking up early at 7 every morning (Yes, I prefer a regular 9-6 job).. Coming home at 7 plus.. tired and weary! KO-ing at 11 plus every night.. The vicious cycle continues.. You see what I mean? I experienced this kinda lifestyle for a good half a year back at yokogawa, but that was diff as I was working as a temp.. Not much demands from those above.. Hee!

I'm neither excited/sad about working.. I know that day will come and I will gladly embrace working life... It's like a routine u know.. Once u get in there, you get stuck as a working adult all your life... When will I get to savour my present lifestyle again? Maybe when I take a long leave (not very possible), quit, sacked, retire, retrenched, maternity leave (sorry, guys not entilted =P).. HAHA.. Of coz the perks are attractive: MONEY (who hates them?), Job satisfaction (I've studied for soo long, I should put my knowledge into good use), personal development (to understand the world and to be a better/intelligent person?)..

Well well, back to my jobhunt.. To date, I think I have sent my resumes to alot of companies/agencies.. A few got back to me.. Bad bad =P My first 'interview' was with mindef.. It wasnt an interview anyway, just a psychometric test.. And they havent gotten back to me.. (I wonder why? maybe I failed the test =P)..

Then I went for another interview with this financial company (I believed I didnt see the word 'sales' in the job description, when I applied for it) selling some insurance policies and plans.. Tsk Tsk! 'SALES' is like a big taboo to Miss Lim can? =P I'm not being picky, but sales is just not my cup of tea.. I like to interact and mingle around.. But not when it comes to convincing people that whatever policy/plan that I am selling is good.. I know being able to convince people is a huge achievement for some.. But I seriously do not derive joy from that, I might even dislike talking in future if I ever do that coz I talk too much while trying to convince people (highly impossible tho) =P HAha! I've met my fair share of unreasonable customers in the past when I was working eslewhere.. And I went home complaining every night.. HAha!

Corporate sales is another diff story tho... So what now? I'm still looking out for more opportunities and offers.. Taking it one step at a time.. Good luck my friends.. To those who have found a job, happy working.. To those who are still in the midst of searching.. Gambatte ne~!
