I've been using my iTouch in blogging ever since I got it back. I have updated most of the apps that I usually use and thought that what will be the use of these apps if I won't use them? So I decided to create my blog posts using my iPod whenever I'm out. Like tonight, I'm currently at ze boyfriend's house hanging with his siblings. I called in sick at work because I had my interview earlier today.
Oh dear, that interview. I came in late! I was freakin' 15mins late. :( And it was all because I slept late last night. I already woke up at 1pm and my interview was at 2pm. Just imagine how shocked I was! My alarm clocksss didn't wake me. I guess my sleep was too deep and sound that I slept for more than 8 hours. So, I immediately got up from the bed, quickly ate breakfast (it was technically my lunch already) and took a bath. I only had roughly 30mins to get ready and another 20mins to travel. But then I forgot that it is Monday, therefore bad traffic awaited me. I kept on apologizing to the HR manager. It was such a bad start of the day. It felt like I don't have any guts to do the interview anymore. :| But I still went there, apologized my arse off and tried to make myself shine. I talked with the Australian client and I just basically answered every single question he had for me. It was nothing personal, just mostly about the work that I am doing in my current job. I really don't know if I did well because the interview only lasted for about 15 mins. Honestly, I don't know my stand. After the HR manager told us to wait for their call 2-3days, I was just staring at the person speaking but not understanding any word she had said. I was literally out of myself. I went to the loo and just sat there and stare at the floor. I kept on re-playing the interview in my head. Yes, I was that anxious and paranoid.
I went to Krispy Kreme to buy myself some donuts to cheer myself up. As I was sitting alone, texting ze boyfriend about how my interview went when suddenly my phone vibrated because the HR manager was calling me. She told me that she'll be sending me an email with a background check form which I need to fill up ASAP. Then I told her I was still near the building and could still go up in the office to fill up the form. She gladly agreed and off I went back to the office. I entered the office and she gave me 3-page stapled papers which mostly asked about my personal information and contact numbers of my references. As I was filling it up, she told me that honestly, I am the priority for the position and the one who is most likely to get the job offer. I was really ecstatic when I heard that! They just need to do a background check on me and deliberate if I will really get the job... I really hope I do get it! I want that job sooo much!!! *prays to God*
When I finished writing, we talked a bit about the job that I am applying for and the salary range for the position. We also talked about the company and the perks and how lucky would I be if I get the job. Also, she told me that the interviewer didn't know that I was 15mins late. The HR Manager turned out to be a really kind-hearted woman who covered me up. She told the interviewer that I was just in the powder room freshening myself. How cool of her to do that, right? :D
When we were done talking, I bid the HR manager good bye and went to the nearby mall. I waited for ze boyfriend, his sister and his sister's boyfriend for 2 hours since they are all still at work. We all just agreed to meet in the Japanese restaurant around 7pm. But to keep myself entertained while waiting, I window shopped first and went to the bookstore and sat there for an hour to read a book. Lol I love books so much!
At dinner, we pigged out on maki and sushi that we all love while talking about the interview I had and their work! Oh dear, I will forever love that restaurant. Haha! I went home with them after, and that is why I am sitting here in their couch, typing this blog post.
It was still a good day, indeed, despite how it all started. All ends well. Good night xx
