Yes, I am back from Singapore. I had a blast during my stay, but right now I am not in the mood for travel notes here because I HAVE NOT got a job yet.
Job-hunting is something really, really exhausting and frustrating I know, and you know it too. It is even harder for people in their late twenties.
Fyi, I am 29 years old.
Ambitious yet confused, people in this age are always proficient, however, most of them do not have specific life goals and enough experiences. So, when it comes to job-hunt, they are in the group labelled "incompetent".
Last week I had an interview at a big-name PR company for a project manager position. Not sure if it was just me getting old, this 3-hour interview was extremely exhausting , that consisted psychometrics, English test and a dialogue with the HR executive.
When I told him I only used the basic Excel functions making reports(because our BSS did most of the work), he paused. It looked like they needed someone who could executive immediately, i.e, they did not want to spend any time training a new staff. If it is just like what I figured out, they had better have some head-hunter recruit a candidate that meets their qualifications. Come on, I was not applying for a director position.
This is pathetic, here, creative(and hardworking) people are not always given chances to dedicate their life to things that they do not just work for live. It is hard to think positive, really.
