job hunting once again...

yesterday, i had an interview with hitachi global...(ssshhhh,my boss thought i had a toothache that's why i visited my dentist at medical plaza yesterday,hahahaha..) anyway, it was an interview conducted by the hitachi global's HR and someone from john clements...wonder why i was there when in fact am enjoying a lot of perks here at prochem (should i really call it perks: medical card, a sack of rice every other month,meal allowance,and what else?!?that's it!)..

anyway, so yun na nga, but night before yesterday even until i woke up yesterday, i was still feeling kinda lazy to go, but joanne,the HR from john clements was really persuading me to go,coz the client will only be at their office by 14th,that is yesterday, and that they badly need a chemist...so off i went yesterday,even if i really don't know who their client is,all i know is that it's a multinational company owned by an american (fyi, hitachi is partly owned by japanese and american,they merged with IBM,that's why at jobstreet it was noted as an american company coz hitachi global's main office is at san jose, california,not at japan..)..when i got there, i thought she sent me to the training room for an exam,coz that was our discussion over the phone,i will take the exams by 9 and interview in the afternoon..i was surprised when hitachi HR included me on the list of those who doesn't need to take the exams anymore..i was a bit grateful coz i was already shortlisted...but when interview came, waaahhhh!!!!!!!!i really don't know what happened, i dunno what i answered nor what i said...all i can remember was that it was so difficult negotiating my asking rate (i knew it, i should have proceeded with chemical engineering course so that i can have my desired salary whenever i want...)...but am still glad that even if i really had a difficult time (i was not really prepared yesterday that's why i was feeling so lazy to go!) she still said that my application will be part of the pool that their managers will review and shall be called as soon as possible for final interview and hopefully, a job offer...

am back with my sickness again,job hunting all over again and if i don't feel the job at the moment, i won't come for an interview...wanna know how many companies already put me on their blacklist?i don't know either, but all i know is, jg summit and ibiden are part of it (sad, but true...)...but am hoping that i can really find a multinational company to work with for as long as i can...am starting to pray that the americans and japanese will consider me this time...i'm looking forward working with hitachi global...
