Finally!!! A Job!!

Hahaha, until now i still can't believe i got a job without submitting my resume. How this happen? well on monday 10/3/2008 i woke up feeling very sien cause still no 1 called me up for a job interview after giving out so much resumes. So i decided to head down to the city to give it a try as usual i walk around see what places would suit me, tried gametraders, some imac store, a book store. None of them seem to have any position. Then as i was walking pass woolsworth, the idea of trying out crazy clark strike my head. so i took the escalator up and look at the outside of the shop. Suprise Suprise, i saw a red paper outside stating they looking for casual. So i went in and ask 1 of the stuffs, they got the manager out and he told me its a job for 3 weeks only and ask if i am interested. So i was thinking why not? at least i get some money as i go look for other jobs once this 3 weeks temp job expired. So i say yes and next thing i was filling up the form. Had to head home to get my bank details and head back to city to submit the whole thing.

I still didn't believe that i got the job untill tuesday morning 7.30am (i work from 7.30am till 3.30pm) when i head to crazy clark and then i started my "musscle job" wow i didn't expect it to be tiring, but well its just like in the army doing sai kang without a sgt there rushing you lol. Time flies very fast soon it was 3.30pm and that was the end of my first day at work.

Suprising is i got a call from kmart on that day and they actually was interested in me and asked me to come down for interview. I applied for the position of night filler, which i heard is from 5.30 to around 10pm. So i went down today morning for the interview, the manager seems happy with me and my response, especially the part when i say kmart always have the latest stuffs and i would introduce my friends to kmart if i see anything new available. For the first time my experience in the army does pay off. The manager was asking me about being trustworthy as the store would be left to us during the night without other ppl around. so i say i did security in base last time for my national service and i would know what is right and wrong and won't do such a mistake as stealing.

well hope i get this kmart job also it would really benefit me since its at night and i can study or sleep till later in the morning. The onli disadvantage now is me getting home after work in kmart. i would have to either walk or take a bus. If its till very late... most likely i have to ask my friends to come pick me up. I hope i can get a car by end of april or may then i won't have much of a problem getting to work in the future heehee

Update of my life in Perth

Well school has finally started, actually its 2nd week already. I have only 1 class which is on wed from 2 to 4 (how i wish it was in the morning from 10 to 12). Many ppl would ask how i am, well i am bored and jobless. The only thing i look forward everyday is my morning jog/run which i do it for 40mins everyday unless i got serious musscle aches or rainning. Currently i am at 83-84kg which makes that 11-12kg lost from jan 8 till now.

I didn't expect Job hunting to be a headache, is not that i didn't try, but i went to a lot of places. I have to admit i am a bit choosy, as i avoid food related job (dun want to get fat and dun want to be a waiter). but somehow no 1 bothers to call me up. The saddest was coles, they email me back stating my visa is less then 1yr, so they can't employ me... wtf its not as if i want to get a perm job with them... its just a casual and i do have working visa. Oh well i will still carry on job hunting hoping someone would call me up to work.

This week i decided to do something that is really unexpected. I decided to upgrade myself and took up and extra course which is Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). Some of my friends think its a waste of time cause they took it before and find it useless. To me it was an aim i wanted to reach years ago and i believe that there is no such thing as waste of time when it comes to enriching yourself. But i have to admit its not as simple as i expected, need to set aside a timetable slot for studying it, cause its online base except for the labs which some requires to do it in sch. My aim is to clear it by end of the sem hopefully. I have come to a point of understanding that just by getting a degree itself is not enough, companies out there would want you if you have experience and extra qualifications like certs and specialty in certain field. Anyway i would be the one laughing if the cert really help me lands a good high paying job lol

Anyway for the latest aim currently:
  • Hit 80kg by end of April (might get this by end of march)
  • Hit 75kg by end of June
  • Get a casual job
  • Get my degree
  • Get my CCNA
  • Get a Car (this might not happen soon since i dun have a job)
  • Get a PS3 (crossing fingers on this 1)
  • Get a New PC (22in lcd here i come)
  • Get a GirlFriend (26 this year.. dun want to be single for another yr, any gals looking for a Boyfriend feel free to drop in your resume at my email lol)
  • Get my PR (another money headache $2060)
Well thats all i have on my list for now, will add more when i think of anything else.
