happy july !

its been a different but happy july !
26 days of not working, that’s a FIRST in my life.
its not a tai tai life, house chore are still part of my everyday.

i been to 2 staycation, first with jen at naumi liora and the second with pumpkin at movenpick heritage. i had steamboat with his family, bbq with mine, a fun-filled day at sentosa, river safari, zoo, SEA aquarium, meals with friends, whatsapp-ed some of my old friends and i did part time work for/ with jie!

6 out of 26 days were spent working! the hourly rate is okie but most importantly is working alongside jie. It was stress-free and mostly simple tasks! i really njoyed our breakfast / lunch together ! its been interesting seeing what she does for her church and how her work has help others!

i know this july break only comes (most probably!) once in a lifetime ! i am NOT a workaholic but i cannot imagine doing another break. And i really dont wish to be out of job (again) !! 😀

tomorrow will be a new START in my life. i will give my all to the new company as i had with NE.

JIA YOU GROOVY !

jobs jobs jobs !

i must have send out 50-80 resumes !
that’s why i stop blogging!!
my day was like go to work, hand-over, look for jobs, send out resume, go home dinner & bath, send out more resume.

——

my FIRST interview was with xx company.
the night before, goggled all the common-ask-interview-questions, practise with kervin !

on the day of the interview, the nice HR manager welcome me and took me to a room. she checked my papers and told me to wait for 4 interviewers. oh boy !! i haven’t been to a interview for ages and i have to ‘sell’ myself not only once but 4 times, to 4 ladies. that’s tough.

its a short 20 mins interview.

I GOT THE JOB ! :):)

my SECOND interview was with xx company.
after talking to the recruitment agent, pumpkin asked ‘are you sure abt tobacco company?’ i asked ‘why you say that?’ pumpkin ‘i know you have your principles’

I decided to go ahead with the interview.
I don’t like the reporting manager; cant be bother to impress them. haha !
yup, as expected, i didnt hear from the tobacco company.

its fun checking out my competitors though !
omg, there’s a candidate who arrived 1 hour before her schedule time.
she was wearing slippers,  she changed into her formal shoes at the reception area. tsk tsk tsk ! at least I changed mine in the cab. 🙂

the other 2 candidates was super casual. i know the company is located at a industrial area but still…

my THIRD interview was with a school.
totally dig the school environment & work scope.

sigh.. what a disappointment!
the school dean called me & did a phone interview. I nail the interview and he told me I will be hearing from the HR manager shortly. the HR manager called me and asked some qns. she promise to call me back within 2-3 days with the ‘package’

instead I received a rejection email!
i called the HR manager immediately, wanting to know what’s going on.
long story short, their recruitment process sucks ! The Dean and HR gave their green light but there’s another guy who say no to my application. Come on, shouldn’t the HR call me AFTER getting everyone’s approval?
the nice HR lady told me to try for other position, drop her an email and she will try to help me. all I can say is ‘once bitten, twice shy’

……

my new job will be starting 1st Aug.

will do a little part time job but mostly stay home and shake leg
