Tiring day

Yesterday was a very tiring day, and a very busy day too. Got a call from a recruitment agency few days ago and I decided to attend the interview since it's a management trainee post. So I took a day off yesterday to attend the interview and to settle all other things too.

The whole interview took less than 15 minutes but it took like 2 hours before my turn, there were so many interviewees!=S Anyway, the interview questions were easy but the toughest part is also because of the easy questions. The toughest of all is "Where do you see yourself in five years time?" =S I remember I've done this [or something similar] before in self-awareness class last time but still I hate this question. I really don't know what I'll be like 5 years later because I don't even have a target now, as in a job I have passion in it. I thought I wouldn't be shortlisted but at the same evening, I got a call from the lady in the recruitment agency who congratulated me for being shortlisted and told me that I'm required to attend an assessment [something like a team building camp] next week. But I think I won't be going coz I can't take leave anymore as I've submitted my resignation letter and the most important reason of all is I don't feel excited to be shortlisted and is not really interested to work for the company. So, I think no point to attend coz I know it is not going to bring me anywhere.

I kept asking myself the same questions over and over again these days - "What if I can never find the right job?", "What if I can never find a job that I truly have passion in?" Sometimes, I really feel like giving up and settle for a "less perfect" choice I have at the moment. But I just couldn't do that yet. Maybe I'm still holding the tiniest bit of hope I can find what I want out there.

I thought of giving up and go back to further my studies since I probably can get a scholarship now. But then I asked myself what's the point of going back to school if I don't even know what to study and where it will bring me. I'm just merely looking a way out of my misery and that's not going to solve the problem because sooner or later, I'll have to face the same problem again.

Anyway, I've sent out a few applications. Now, all I need to do is wait. Hopefully there's more good news coming.

I would say attend the interview .. who knows.. it may get to you something that excites you. If you are not sure wht u wanna do .. then try this
1) see wht makes you smile and feel happy
2) what are you good at

mix these two and work towards it.
