hired

last 6 July, i was browsing the JobFinder newspaper for possible work position that suits my skill. mostly i looked into Computer, Creative Media, Publishing categories. the position graphic artist always caught my attention, but i was having doubts since i have limited skills on the said field. though i am interested 'cause somehow i know something about graphic arts especially in image editing and lay-outing done through Adobe Photoshop and PageMaker, i still think that it's not enough to get qualified.

other positions offered are writers. creative writing triggered my eagerness to try and grab the opportunity. i submitted my resume via electronic mail, and fortunately within a day or less, the company replied and invited me for an interview. i was really excited, this could be my chance of spending time with valuable things to do than sit and contemplate what to do with my life while unemployed. StratVisions is the company's name. they offered job positions for applicants specializing in IT, writing, and customer service. i decided to share the opportunity to Kat, a college friend, since she too is still unemployed. happily, she welcomed the idea and decided to come with me the next day to apply.

we've gone through the usual steps of screening: exam and interview. luckily, we were qualified for the final interview that same day, and what a great news it was we were hired, and will have to wait for their call as to when we will start.

with us was another college classmate, Regina. after our application in StratVisions, she referred us to an online English teaching company, Winglish. i was reluctant at first 'cause i'm not ready and did not intend to really teach either online or classroom-based. i did apply anyway. the wait was tiresome. before we go on with the interview we have to wait for almost an hour 'cause we were many who applied. at the interview i was struggling. i blame it on my tiredness and my seemingly low self-motivation and low interest on the job.

after the long wait, Kat, another applicant, and i were interviewed. i felt uncomfortable, really uncomfortable and uneasy. i don't know if i meant what i was saying then. couldn't think clearly and wished that it'd all end. finally, we're through (glad we're through). will have to wait if we qualified for the next stage, that is, another interview or that speaking exam i heard from Reg and from other applicants.

hope i'll perform well on days to come. the writing job would be my first experience as an employee after long years of schooling. i know i can do it, i'll just have to do what i have to do and everything will work well, end well. if not, guess i have to try until i found the peace of working and earning, and the eventual fulfillment a person seeks in defining life as he/she lives it.

good day. ta :D
