To be honest with you (Hi, by the way!) I've been up to something and I didn't want to tell anyone anything because of jinx or however that thing is called, but I think it's safe to do it now, right?
I got a job interview on Monday. It's marketing and everyone who knows me knows that I have no idea what it is about. Literally, I know nothing about marketing. But hey, since they liked my cv, they had to see something in me, right? So, yeah, I went there, I nailed it. I got a call later for a second interview on Tuesday. I went there and I nailed it again. I was offered a place in a team. They said it doesn't matter if one has experience or not, because everyone starts from the bottom and gets to learn. So, on next Tuesday it's going to be my first day of training. Honestly, I have no idea when I'll start getting paid or how much I will get but that is way better than nothing, plus I'll get a lot of new experience I've never dreamt of getting. And people whom I met there looked really nice (though something tells me it's just for the start). So, yeah, I'm quite excited. Plus, I'll have to wear nice office style clothes that I absolutely love. Though I don't have a lot of them.
Anyway, yeah, that's basically all I've been up to for the past two days. Two interviews at the same place and then tv-series for the rest of the day. I know I should really start working on my last courseworks but I can't come around to it. It sounds so booooooring :(
Ah, another thing! God, I'm excited about this one as well! I've been snapchating with one of my old friends that I've met through rpg forums and apparently we both miss forum rpg so we've decided to give it a go again. Just two of us. Now, generally I wouldn't be excited excited, but I love rpg'ing with this person so much! She's my inspiration. My mentor. Probably the reason I fell in love with rpg'ing in the first place. I mean, I have met a lot of people who knows how to have a good meeting in forum, but She's something special. I am not sure what, but aaah, I'm so excited we're doing this. I don't know how long this will last, because she's really busy with her studies, but I'm going to have the time of my life rpg'ing with her. And the best part (everything is the best part, honestly) is that we actually do a lot of posting. Not like one post per week as my tumblr rpg partner (that I adore so much because she keeps me on my toes with my English writing skills!). Anyway, I can't wait to tell you guys more about it. Just give me a few days to get used to my characters and I'll give you everything there is to know ;3
Oh, and for the occasion that I've been offered a position at the Marketing firm, I baked my famous condensed milk cake (pie or whatever)! To be honest it wasn't quite right, but still quite tasty. I shared it with my flatmate (I think there were just two of as until today. Now I think I'm alone :|) and now I had half of it left... yeah, had. I was watching 'House of Cards' (YES I TOOK A NEW TV SHOW BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS BORING) and ate maybe 4 pieces. Shame on me, I know...
Anyway, have a nice day, I'm going back to the tv-shows and rpg. God I love my life <3
Thank you, 'kx-gifs' for making it possible for me to put this on my blog ;3
Awesome, you got the job! Congrats :) Any tips on nailing job interviews like you did?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWell, first of all, I went there knowing that it's not the end of the world if I won't get the job. So this means I wasn't nervous. Second of all, I dressed and behaved properly. Trust me, first impression does miracles. And third, smile. Be kind and lovely, employers loves people who look like they are nice. And honestly, when I was asked something, I answered with what was on my mind at that moment. I paid attention, that was a bonus thing. I could integrate something they've said into my answer and they did like that a lot. But most important, don't try to be someone you are not. There was a guy who talked like he wrote a speech and learn it by heart. I was listening to him, I looked at the interviewer and I think we had the same thought. He basically said the same thing over and over again with other words. Don't do that. It may be good for essays, but when he was talking it just sounded like he overdid himself ;)
