Job Hunt

Operation Job hunt ko.

Sinabi ko sa last entry ko na kapag na-cancel ang employment pass ng isang foreign talent dito sa Singapore meron lamang silang 30 days to pack all their kalat and leave Singapore at once. I'm on my second week to this point.

My day to day routine is to wake up at around 9:00 AM mag tooth brush, uminom ng high blood meds at simulang simutin ang mga job portals online (Monster, Jobstreet,jobsdb,stjobs,recruit, etc..) Nag pe-personal email din me sa mga match job openings with cover letter containing all flowery words why I am fit for the job posting. Siguro mga 50 to 70 applications average in a day. Lunch break at 12:00 to 1:00. Mag emo ng mga bandang 3:00PM-3:15PM then banat ng application online again and exercise at night. Pag sobrang down and blue pag dumilim na, I go out and I sleep over to my friend's place and wake up around  8:00 AM to go home and do the agonizing routines over and over again.

First week of Job hunting, walang masyadong progress. Some recruitment agencies called saying, pinasa na nila sa client resume ko and will update me as soon as they heard from their client. So hindi dapat umasa 'dun. Umasa lang dapat ng mga 3%.  I got my tax clearance and I need to pay 3, 298.32 SGD for my Income Tax. Painful!

Nag e-expect pa naman ako na magagamit ko ang last pay ko pang survive sa bills i.e. phone bills, house rentals, PUB, and kung anik-anik pa. Now nganga na!

Now on my second week, naawa na sakin si Boss Chief sa heaven. I needed a high. I needed something to keep my hopes up and expectations low. I needed to bring my ego up. Umarti?

I got 3 interviews to this date. I'm scheduled for final interviews. 'Yung isa dati kong company sa Pinas,   'yung isa refaeral ako, 'yung isa hindi ko na puntahan kanina nabasa kasi ako ng ulan. Nag titipid me ayoko mag taxi. Tsaka masyado akong na drain sa Isa't kalahating oras na interview ko 'dun sa dati kong company sa Pinas na may Head Quarters dito sa Singapore. Nalabas ko lahat ng natutunan kong Emeriken Eksent at lahat ng super technical powers ko sa innneerview na 'yun. Now I have to wait two weeks for the result. Two weeks kasi Chinese new year next week nakabasyon mga chekwa. So parang 'yung next week ko is wasted week na rin.

Now I'm thinking whether to go back home na or exit muna me sa US. US talaga?! exit muna me sa Phuket, Thailand para mag emo sa beach habang lumuluha sa left eye.

I still wish I'll get the job offer bago ako umexit ng Singapore. Uwi na kaya ko Pinas? Mag tatanim nalang ako ng kamote sa likod namin at kakantahan ang mga Gumamela sa farmville habang dinidiligan?

This has been a very sad experience. Siguro spend ko nalang ang natitirang weeks with my friends. Tapos mag kukulong ako sa kwarto ko sa Pilipinas ng one month habang umiinom ng muriatic acid. Charot.
