I was not a bum today. Look I’m blogging with a smile on my face and it’s because I’M NOT A BUM TODAY! Hahaha because today I did something new, I did something productive and it gave birth to a bittersweet fruit!
Woke up late. Yeah yeah yeah. Called Kat and told her I’ll be there in an hour. Arrived there about 10? When the call time was about 9am? Crammed, did a resume patterned after Kat’s, took a picture of me and bluetoothed it all the way to Kat’s PC and printed it and finally we were off to Ortigas.

SECOND INTERVIEW
[[y]] Hi, introduce yourself
((Kai)) (Same lines..) SINCE 1980 AND STILL STANDING!!
[[y]]I see, so.. I think it’s weird well actually amazing that a girl like you barely 19 is seeking for a job. Where’s this coming from?
*Insert Maalaala Mo Kaya Theme Song*
((Kai))Because my father is already retired and I have to help in augmenting our family’s income... yadadadadada.. *sniff*.. So I guess that’s where the passion’s coming from..
[[y]]I see.. so I believe that you have no job experiences yet.. so tell me about any hardship you encountered and how can this help you here in Ambergris (pronounced with a silent Ssssss)
((Kai))Theater is a VERY challenging job.. (insert hardships here)..
[[y]]I see.. so.. I would just have to evaluate your essay... (maghintay daw ulit ako sa lounge)
*DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
OK we passed the first and second interview and now we have to go to MARKET! MARKET! For the final interview and recoding. Asar. Parang singer!

LAST INTERVIEW.
[[z]] So, Tell me something interesting about you..
((Kai))Umm.. (same lines..)
[[z]]Ok.. So can you define Costumer Service in your own words?
((Kai))Customer service is all about satisfying the consumers, giving them back what they paid for and.. (forgot)
[[z]]Ok, so...What can you offer this company..
((Kai))Well.. I am prompt (Sometimes), true to myself and disciplined (woeh?)
[[z]]What do you mean true to yourself?
((Kai)) (OMG. Imbento ko lang ‘yun! ) Umm.. that I will not make you expect things that ((Kai))I cannot actually give you. All I can do is to do my best and come up with a fruitful outcome...
[[z]]So, why do you think we should choose you?
((Kai))Because... I am fresh..?
[[z]]So KAI is saying here that we’re old?? (Tatayo na to tell everyone what I said..)
((Kai))No, no.. I didn’t mean it to be that way! It’s that I’m fresh and you wouldn’t have any problems with my attitude.. (di nga?)
[[z]]Why? Do you have attitude problems?
((Kai))No, Sir, none..
[[z]]So... Congratulations Therese.. YOU NAILED IT! You passed your final interview!
YAHOO!! Hahaha I told you I was not a bum today!! At least I did something productive, ventured to something new today and.. well.. I hope this will do me good.
Thank You GOD for leading Kat and I along the way!
I pray that God will grant me skills to endure this new avenue I’m taking...
