Sighness.
As a final year colleagues student, 1 thing to be feared of besides finishing my Final Thesis is...
The fear of being an unemployed after I graduate.
And yes, based on this fear I'm lately focusing on so much work application to several companies I'm interested. SO yeah, last week was my interview-a-thon week for me.
Just imagine! I'm requested to do psychological test from (just say) Company on Saturday and then, suddenly this Company B requested me for FGD too! Geez. This is what I've called an experience, really.
While I'm doing the psychological test for Company A, the result was quickly announced THAT SAME DAY (imagine the pressure for both mentally and physically, for me) and then continued directly into HR Interview. Damn my soul are sucked out that day. I came home like, "Jesus Christ I just want to sleep NOW". The pressure and nervousness are unbearable! Still, now I'm waiting fir the result to come out, whether I'm done for, or will continue on User Interview.
The different story came from Company B. This company, required us to do online aptitude test first from the internet, which was VERY HARD (I Think). Considering the competitiveness of this program opened by company B are very high and that damn hard aptitude test I can't work well, I actually gave up on the first application of CV and Aptitude test. I thought like, impossible for me even to pass the first requirement. Surprisingly, I'm qualified and CALLED for Focus Group Discussion.
Unbelievable.
But still, my pessimistic self think that this is a nothing-to-lose FGD. If I pass, well, that's good (and amazing. Really), but if I fail, so what. I'm not that really interested too. While I'm thinking like this, the FGD were kind of gruesome, I think. It was really a domination test, everyone was FORCED to talk on the discussion or you'll be looked like a fool between all of other applicants' enthusiasm. It's like, "Talk and dominate! If you can't, then poor you! You must be stupid" kind of thing. In this company, show off is the primary goal.
Meh, I think I kinda don't like it. Well, still waiting for the result though, but not as enthusiast as waiting for Company A's result. We'll see then.
Meanwhile, before the mentally and physically pressured interview, I applied for a Japan business plan competition which prize is a business trip to Tokyo. Wow! I'm really looking forward to the trip, of course. Fortunately, My business plan (which I have worked on about 2 weeks before this interview week) are qualified and I'm moving to the next step which were Proposal Interview and User Interview! I'm so excited!! I was called right on the Wednesday of the same interview week, and passed the Proposal Interview which leads directly to User Interview on the Thursday. This is so tiring but exciting. The only interview I'm waiting for the result THE MOST. My business plan are unbelievably accepted kindly and even the interviewer seems like very interested in it. I'm glad.
And the most exciting part is, I was informed that the winner of this competition were going to be given a chance to apply, have an interview and even work in Japan, directly. I'M FULL WITH DESIRES NOW. I'ts like wakening my childhood dream, again. When I was a primary school student, (until junior high) I've always wanted to go, see, and even live in Japan (blame all the mangas and animes). My dreams are kinda neglected as the time pass by because of several conditions that forced me to focus more on reality though. But now?? Hearing this chance again, is like waking me up to work again on my dreams even more. Maybe it is my, yes, my ONLY chance to make my dreams come true. I'm really, really, waiting for the result now.
-------
So, can you imagine how was my previous week then? Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, was really used for all kind of interviews. This November, is like the answering month, I guess. Everything will be clear this month. So, I'm gonna update this blog, SOON.
