I’ve had several leads in my job hunt this month.  Things are rather slow for me right now.  I’ve been to quite a number of companies and have gone thru exams and interviews but I haven’t been that lucky.  I’ve even had an invitation from a clothing company (I don’t know where they got my contact information because I don’t remember applying for a position in their company) but I politely turned it down because I literally don’t measure up (they have a height requirement of 5’2”).  And simply because I can’t be a full-time store front liner right now. 

There’s this one company in Taguig which is quite promising.  Yes, it’s a call center and no, there are no part-time jobs but so far, it’s the only company I can imagine myself working for at the moment.  I actually turned it down at first because I’ve sworn that I wouldn’t work as a call center agent again.  But the HR personnel was nice enough to inform me that what they have is a dayshift account.  Also, a classmate of mine from nursery (fancy that) is working for the company and has given me “insider” information about the account.  So far, I like what I’m hearing. 

But before I get carried away and make another “potential” misstep in my professional career, I decided I should look for other options.  I applied as a Research Assistant in UPM and I just finished my computer exam last September 8, 2009.  I’ve been badgering the people from the Science Hall about the results for two days now.  They said I should check back on Friday.  If I pass, I’ll take a psych test.  Gudlak naman sa ‘kin.  IF I do pass the psych test, I’ll work in CPH kasi wala na daw RA vacancy sa CN.  But that’s good enough for me.  At least, this is closer to home.

Then there’s this option to join the Nurse Corps.  I’m just not so sure if they’ll have me because I’d probably fail the height requirement but I think my paramilitary background should give me some leverage.  Where’s the extra inch when you need it, huh?  I wish I had my half-sister’s height so I can put it to good use.  But this is me talking shitty again and prudence tells me I should stop doing that.

Anyway, I’m hoping things would look up.  I’m getting really frustrated now that I’m not working or moving forward.  Even worse: I feel like I’m running out of time again…
