Wow, I haven't blogged in a while....been too busy with work now since I'm a full-time employee :)
Since creating this blog in January 2011, I haven't really told you much about myself, other than the obvious: I like Korean entertainment and online shopping.
I created this blog because I was bored out of my brains with too much time on my hands. I had graduated with in an accounting degree with no real job prospects and an on the side casual job. I was actively looking for full time work in the accounting field during August 2010-November 2010. And to my utter disappointment, it was a total failure because of the lack of motivation and constant rejections I kept on receiving. I wasn't prepared for this outcome.
However, I finally started looking again in January 2011, but with a different career mind-set. There are only a handful of graduate accounting positions with little or no experience. There were many administration positions, so I decided to pursue a career in admin. Altogether letting go of becoming an accountant. I had the computer skills and telephone skills. So I started my quest of admin jobs on seek. But to my familiar disappointment, I underestimated my ability of getting the first interview. It took me weeks to obtain an interview for a receptionist position at a Chinese owned pharmaceutical supplement business. Honestly, I was pretty desperate for any full-time position, but this one wasn't really to my liking. First it was Asian owned, meaning tight-ass bosses who speak Mandarin. Look, I have nothing against the Chinese, I'm Chinese myself. However, I would never want to work for one. Anyways I went to the interview because I wanted to practice my interview skills which haven't really been put to the test. I did okay, but didn't make the final cut because, no surprise, I didn't speak Mandarin.
Before, I was notified if I had made the final cut for the Chinese business, I was asked for an interview for a receptionist and admin position at an accounting firm in the city. Excited and eager, I went to the interview and they seemed to like me and my accounting degree. I was 70% sure I would get that job. And to my luck, I got the job.
Just something from a piece of my life I thought I'd like to share.
