Oh My! Hello blog. I have abandoned you for quite a few days. I have actually been preparing some posts for you but there was no way to finish them with my curent schedule. A lot of people have been calling me lately and I just had 3 recent interviews and another three to come next week... As scheduled, 3 are coming but two have already conflicted and I have to frop one and take my preference. Moreover, more might be scheduled next week so I better get ready my gear.

I feel that my profession here and my personality fits the work environment but I still have to work hard for it. I just need to play my cards good. My profile has been good already and I have crossed two interviews already. But here, interviews are so much before some notable international companies take a candidate. They better be very sure of that person! Whew! Very very very thorough. They have to do a lot of tests!

My recent interview made me think so much. I was given the following to answer, which, I see that my answer determines both the fact that I CAN or CANNOT answer the question and based from my answers, my personality is viewed:

1. At least 15 situational cases where I was asked of my opinion, or what do I do, what will I do.. My streetsmartass had to work had to use my smartypants to get through that part! Darn!

2. Can you imagine telling what you see around before getting in the interview room just to know if you have been "paying attention to details"??? Eiw! I had to do that, describe things as if I had photographic memory... and of course I was not prepared for this to happen. It was just good that I had a bit of memory with me..

3. It is good that I am in front of computer screen most of the time. I was asked a lot of things about one application which maybe, if you are familiar, the application that accountants should have... and the questions were not easy huh! I had to draw a screen in my mind that time.

4. I can say it was an ultimate test, nothing more. They had to determine if a candidate has both the profile and the attitude and especially if has the "skills"! It cannot be all words and answers. It has to be application of knowledge.

I am just glad. That was the second portion of the series of interviews and I was advised that if I can, better give time for my next weeks schedule. hat means a third interview is coming. Sigh... It is NEVER easy. If I can hurdle one obstacle, obstacle 2 is waiting to crush me! After hurdling 2, obstacle three might chop me to pieces. That is tough! I am forcing my fighting spirit to be alive and strong. I have a part time job to run to after or before some interviews and I really have to be fully loaded to do alot of things...

That is why my blog, I was not able to feed you with entries for days. Hope we succeed.
