Nothing to be Ashamed


I told you guys that i will be updating you of what had happened to my final interview in cvg. Well i woke up at 8.36 am and could not even eat my breakfast because i was anxious. Then me and ising left our house at around 10.15 am, i dropped him in Lopues East (Mall). I drove directly to cvg and i arrived in there at 10.30. I told the receptionist girl that i will be having my final interview, and she told me, okay, give me your id and your resume. I was confused and i told her again, miss i will be her for the final interview, she was busy talking to someone else in our local dialect, and i told her for the third time again that, miss, i will be her for the final interview, and why should i give my resume again, since i already handed it out yesterday. She stopped and stared at me, and said, oh yes, your for final interview, have a sit and write your name in the log book. First sign of long process (according to Thomas Edison).

I sat in their waiting area for almost 30 minutes, i was texting, shars,sharv,coning,and aying of what i felt during that time, and i tell you that i was really nervous and i felt that i wasted my time coming in their. I do not believe in gut feeling, but i really hate when i think of it, because it really happen. So i sat in there for almost 45 minutes,and then i was staring at the interviewer in cvg, the manwit guy, which his name was discovered by coning, was the guy that conducted an initial interview on me a month ago, and i tell you that i did not pass the initial interview, i went back to cvg because i passed the intial interview through phone, and the guy was philip and he was nice. Anyway, i only find one lady in their that seems to be nice, she is flabby and black but she seems to be nice, i would always know who are nice people and who are not, maybe because i always criticize people. Then i was called, the name of the lady was diane, i did not find here very nice at all, although she smiled not because of me but because of my name, i do not care, i like my name and i wanted it. We had our first conversation, i was asked about how i felt when i had a phone interview, i said i was scared and i did not knew where to start, and then she asked me, why did i wanted to work in the call center industry, i told here it was a new world of profession and that i would learn how to even tempered-perseverance, which would make me a patience person. The follow up questions was that, if not hired what will you do, what do you think is your asset to the company,what is your career plan (which to tell you the truth, i do not have a career plan honestly, i just wanted to work and earn and help my family, that's all, and oh have my own business and stop working), and there was these two scenarios she gave me. I know i was so nervous because i could see my hand moving and my voice was very loud.

After our conversation, she asked me again of all the things that i filled out yesterday, well i politely answered all of it with a yes, no that's correct.

She told me to wait for 10-15 minutes, this time, i really do not like this one, i waited there for 13 minutes, which i really timed it out, and then she called my name and handed me out this piece of paper, and for heavenly guidance, i knew what it was, a regret form that i had before with manwit. She could have just told me, sorry, you did not make it...than giving me a piece of paper with their explanation, they should be firm with their decision and nothing to be ashamed of telling me that i did not make it, which i would be glad to accept as well, than wasting my 13 minutes in there waiting for the form.

Here it was the assessment of diane on me:

I need to improve on my vowel A, I and E, which i do not know where ( since i was using Australian accent)
Grammar, when it comes to subject-verb agreement, sentence construction,tense consistency
Accent (neutral, no regional influence) - too bad i am not used to American accent, i regret that one ( but it is okay since i plan to go to British colony places)


Her recommendations:

Oral reading
exaggerate articulation a bit
Simplify ideas but observe correct grammar (i just wanted to react here, gee, if she did not knew what is tempered-perseverance , she should have asked me and clarify it to me, if she did not knew what is mocking up, she could have asked me again, if she does not knew winging it, she could have asked me again, just a recommendation for here, hope she read this blog, (smiling).
Review basic parts of speech (noun,pronoun,verb,adjective...)

Good points which did not make any points at all:

gave sincere responses
good showmanship
well modulated voice
was polite and courteous during the interview (ofcourse you need to be plastic and show what you think t hat would impress them, i know what they wanted) (smiling again)

To sum up it all, Thomas Edison said, there no such thing as failure, it is just that, there is a long process to success, and i make use of this belief, and i think he was right. Thanks to coning for this inspirational quote and to may where i read on here facebook shout out before that a goal without plan is just a wish, and i have full of goal but no plan (laughing).

Nothing to be ashamed for this, i think this is the only way i can share my long process of life and why hide it, every great person has this experiences, and i really appreciate people telling me how they feel of what had happened to them, it was just that, i do not know how to react. (laughing)

Another journey of my life, according to sharv, next level, (laughing)
