Interview that didn’t happen
I was supposed to have an interview for a job today at 6pm at Darlinghurst. I managed to finish balancing early so that I can go to the interview sooner. I stupidly went to the Wynyard station to catch a train to X-cross only to realize that I should’ve gone to Martin Place instead, wasted the 15 minutes that I gained from finishing early.. When I got to the place (it’s a restaurant), I was told that it’s closed for 2 months for renovation, so I checked my voice mail, just in case that they want to meet up in other place, they did leave a message telling me that the interview was postponed till next week.. sigh.. all this trouble for nothing, I thought. Anyhow I decided to walk to Hyde Park to catch a bus home.
Conversations
I unexpectedly met AM, one of the regular customers of the bank, he’s a christian. We chatted about life and christianity. I feel ashamed as christians whenever I talk to him, he’s really keen on telling ppl abt God, on our first encounter he gave me a leaflet on christianity (he already gave leaftlets to all my collegues at work, I think.. ), I also found out that he gave out leaflets every Friday after work at Martin Place. I told him that I’m getting married next year and would like him to come, that leads to conversation how he’s content with his singleness, which I’m really glad for him. He does seem genuinely enjoy his life as a single christian. When I got on the bus, I met ATS, a good friend from foundation, it’s always nice to talk to him, he goes to IPC nowadays, wondering whether I should invite him back to Pelita, after all he doesn’t go to any bible study there..
Job Hunting
On the job side of things, I got 2 phonecalls from 2 agents. One is for a position that I did apply, she left message on my mobile, when I called her back, I got an answering machine so I left a message asking her to call me back. But she didn’t call, it happened to me before. With the employment agencies, they tend not to be very patient, I think they just try to get the required number of candidate pools in the shortest time possible and don’t bother with the rest who don’t answer promptly, fair enough I think. The other one is actually found me from the their database, she left a message asking whether I’m still looking for a position, I got the message quite late (5.30) so I decided to call Monday, hopefuly this one doesn’t mind waiting for me returning her call… So, it’s not so bad for the first week of trying to find an IT job, maybe it’s true that the IT jobs are on the rise, maybe..
Volvo Ad
I think I finally figured out what the volvo ad is all about. I saw one of TV ads (or magazine ads) for volvo featuring this bloke with glasses and moustache and he’s sort of the cool driver of volvo… So all the faces that we saw on the bus stop ads are the people who are trying to be him: a “girl” with glasses and moustache, a child with glasses and moustache, they want to be the bloody volvo driver (the guy on the prev ad). I’m not sure whether my interpretation is right, but yeah, I know… how cares?
waaahhh…….I heard you won against Rohan in WC3 this morning ?? :p 😛
haha~~ I like your style writing blog….every things in your mind, you just poured them to writing……:). Finding a job is not that difficult you know….In my view, finding a partner is more difficult, maybe the most difficult. Because with job, you always can change job. With partner ?? you have to life with her all your life. So, be grateful and always happy ^-^ because you’ve already got the most difficult one. *ohh, yeah and don’t forget about GOD always. Logicly, it will not too hard to find IT job :), if you try harder and harder you always can find the solution.
