I have checked my blog entries and I realized that I haven't posted anything for almost 4 months!

And it is with a heavy heart that my new pos,t after some months, will not be about a happy event but about a rather sad topic.

Last December 30 (my birthday), my spirits were high because I have received this call from a big company that I've submitted my resume to. I actually considered it a birthday present from God.

January 5 (my best friend's birthday), I went to their office in Ortigas for the initial interview with the HR. I'd say that everything went as planned -- my interview with the HR personnel was brilliant (after all she was very accomodating and friendly, I never had the jitters with her and I was soooo comfortable talking to her), the office was great, the atmosphere & ambience of the office was happy & conducive for working, the office's location was perfect, the essay and the exam was alright (I loved the Math part!). Everything was well, except for the PERSONALITY TEST! Nope, I do believe I don't have split personality or schizophrenia or anything, but that Harrison Assessment drove me nuts! It was very confusing!

So there, waited for a week or two for feedback, and today I received an email from my HR contact informing me that my qualifications did not match those that were required for the vacant position! I somewhat expected it, after not receiving a feedback for a week, but I somewhat kept my hopes up.

Nope, I do not want to sound pathetic by blaming it on the personality test. Maybe it is just not the right fit.

Maybe it is for the better. What is worse than staying in your current company than being hired in a new company but managing to fuck up everything at work, right? Better wait for the right one.

It was just soooo sad. I mean, after knowing that I had a chance at this particular company I have already set my eyes on that position. And now that I know that I didn't qualify, I just don't know what direction my job hunting will take.

Aw, finding a new job is HARD these days!
