And the Result? I was Not Interested Enough!

. Monday, October 27, 2008

I should say, it was a failure in my part. But no regrets. This is the follow up on my previous post and this is personal.

Tuesday morning last week, I received the call from the agency that represents me about the very first employer interview for a job that unfortunately, I was not chosen due to the fact that I WAS NOT INTERESTED ENOUGH TO JOIN THEIR TEAM (this is the feedback from my interviewer). I told the agency representing me that indeed the feedback was correct. I did not show that much enthusiam and attention during the interview.

However, I would like to note that it was a failure on my part and I am totally responsible for that result (although indeed I do not want to be part of the team upon meeting the interviewer) because I could have made myself hired and I could have just declined upon contract signing. But for some reasons, I was not able to fake it. In fact, I informed the agency that represented me the day after the interview that even I ot hired, I would like some second thoughts and I would like to meet the person who interviewed me again, before really accepting the job, to make sure that I could stomach (handle) that person if indeed we work as a tem and be my immmediate superior.

Giving justice to myself, I am also not blaming myself for not getting hired at that very moment. It was my very first interview (with employer and NOT with agencies) and it was the testing part. I am not just so happy that the kind of interviewer that I met was the one like that. Well, if I think about that person, it makes me so glad not to be part of the team. I was saying in my previous post that I was indifferent about the result for two reasons:

1. If I got hired, my job hunting would end and I would be starting my profession again and that is a good thing.

2. If I don't get hired, I need not interact with the person who interviewed me, whom I dislike so much personally for a lot of reasons, and that would make my simple work very stressfull STRESSFUL! And this is awful.

That was the testing part however. THe next day following that interview with that Company, I got another appointment with an HR consultant and it made me feel good. Moreover, my supposed salary of €2,200 was so underpaid considering my qualifications according to other career consultants because I was subsequequently appraised at AT LEAST €2,500 a month. That is not a little difference!

Well, that was an experience that is great to learn. Some people indeed, one cannot please. And I am glad that I met the worst at first time, making me prepared for the subsequent once. Last week and this week, due to full time schedule in my part time job, I needed and need to stop hunting my professional job. I worked and is working 8 straigh hours then and now and that would leave my time full and no chances for any interviews. Job hunting would resume next week. I am just glad that this part time job pays good too and I can live good making me not pressured to look for my professional job. Sigh.. Thanks, Almighty!

Happy Blogging Week everyone!

Diba sa kasabihan ng mga pinoy "pag ukol bubukol".. that job is not meant for you...

Hi Rogue,
I reckon you made the right decision. If you feel at ease with your job and the working environment then accepting it wouldn't be a good idea. The right job will arrive in the right time. Take care :)
