need luck!!!

returned from interview @ SMU. Not a academic position. and i am not gg to teach there..

rest assured the kids (younger than me i suppose?!) wont be spoilt rotten by me. LOL

Lasted for 1hr 45min cz i drop a gas bomb right there!!! hahaa.. kidding!!

to be precise, its actually an 1hr ist round interview followed by an 45min second round of interview. went in @ 10.05am, "crawl" out at 11.45am?!

Firstly, it was frightening for me. i was wriggling on the chair and prepared to be usher out when the manager signalled me to sit down and tell me shes going to get her boss to see me. While im left alone in the meeting room for 5minutes. The ist thing i took out .... out of nowhere is my mini mirror. Checking whether my hair, face, makeup isit in place?!?!

ok. i thought. only boss and manager. so i will be expecting 2 person joining me in that room. -.- 2nd terrorist thing was it was not just 2 person.... but i saw triples.. i mean 4 pple coming in. I was like .. O great.. i was thinking to myself.. who is who hurrhh??

ok.. ended up while i am trying my best to maintain my "cool" ... there ur like 4 pairs of female eye looking intensely at my "one-copy" resume and my face. while im trying my best to be cool abt it, i realised its hard for me to give direct eye contact to everyone manz.. hahaa.. is like.. when i looked into person1 eye, will person2,3 and 4 thinks i ignored them?!

but eventually, i resorted to turn my chair towards the boss direction and face her. Since shes the boss. i shall give her my maximum respect. LOLx (except the bowing part.. this is SG, not Korea)

they ur a whole lot of friendly pple.. kinda look forward to work with em.. cz our topics even revolve salary, bonus, medical, gym, pool benefits, basically they ur telling me all the employee perks i will be entitled to if i get the job... sounds great isnt it? there ur one type of perks that involve "guys" .. i was like wth.. haha uh hmmm

of cz, my felling confidence was boosted and it seemed like there ur a chance for me. but i was honest enough to let them know i had another interview on next mon and thu (amusement, tourism industry)... she was like even encouraging me to make comparison b/w the jobs before i make a decision next week. what a nice lady!

tho i was really really damn excited abt the one on next thu (i want this job!), at the same time, i really hope i cld secure today SMU position as well ("greedy mindset").

I dreadfully want to get my butt out of the house and be both financially N emotionally indep (One of My Goals). Better still, grab any single chance to work abroad as far as possible!!! (thats my dream).
