:: Job-hunting is an SKILL ::

it has been exactly one month since i quit my job.. which means.. i haf been bumming ard for a month now. argh. at least i managed to chalk up a few interviews last week and this week. so i dun feel like tt much of a bum. :(

having gone thru so much of job hunting.. i realised one thing. replying to job ads does not work anymore. out of 20 CVs u send, u might only get one interview out of the potential 20. and tt totally sucks. cuz tt means the only sure way to secure an interview/job is to go thru recommendations aka pulling strings. i dun think tt is a dirty thing to do, it's all abt connections.

i haf been gg thru this channel of job hunting since i graduated and i mus say, it has landed me in good companies and good jobs. so.. hopefully my nex employment will also keep up to my previous standards!! *fingers crossed*

so far i haf had one 1st interview which i kno i am definitely getting a 2nd interview for.. one job offer that i rejected cuz the offer was too low.. and 2 potential 1st interviews tt are coming my way. all thru recommendations.

welcome to the real world. it is a realistic, sad and cold world out here. but if u can deal with plastic smiles and love ur enemy as God says, then u r ready for it.

welcome, welcome!
