Job seeker...

Its been about a month now since i finished my final rites as an engineering student, thus, closing a chapter of a very mechatronical life. And I have been sittin at home since, enjoyin the freedom that i so very much deserve, after 4 years of tireless service. And i am slowly beginning to get subtle hints from various members of the household, suggesting that there could be some work that I could do to prevent that little spare tyre from growing. Point taken.

And so the newspapers ruffled, databases ransacked, classifieds pored over, just to find a suitable job. Well, looking at the classifieds and other sources, it is unbelievable as to how many jobs were being offered each day, yet there are so many unemployed graduates who are complaining to the government that there are no jobs. And these are no blue-collar jobs mind you, but very well-paid jobs with wide scopes. So much for laziness.

Me being stuck in a quandary, being a foreigner in this country, who has just graduated, and wanting to find a small part-time job, the opportunity is thus limited. I can only find a 1001 ways to spend the money that i have, but not earn. Looking at the jobs for offer, I cant help but wish that I was born in this country, as there are endless opportunities that I would love exploring for the rest of my life. Well, I didnt decide where I should be born, so I can safely leave the blame ( or honour ) to God :)

And so I have applied to several universities overseas for Masters. There is a high chance of getting the admission, but once again, my heritage gives way to visa struggles. Though a few bad apples may screw me apart, there is no way that I am going to stop trying. I am gonna get thru it.

However, back to the present, thanks to my fragmented train of thought, I applied for a job in corporate sales, and had to attend an interview today. The main reason that I applied for this post was because I can have a more interactive way of life, meeting people, and selling them packages, gettin commission, etc. however, after an exhaustive interview, i was told that all sales would be conducted by telephone, and that i had to generate leads and prospects outside office hours, which is kinda like a bummer in my bum. Should i take it, should i not. I dont know, but i know that i aint goin to be happy bein constricted. Well, i cant be too demanding, and so, I will just have to sleep on it, and come up with something tomorrow.
