"Please Be Patient, God Is Not Finished With Me Yet."
a quote na nakuha ko sa kakatapos ko lang basahin na libro, The Purpose Driven Life. a 40-days slash 40-chapters book. pero, dahil sa kagustuhan kong mabasa agad, i read as many chapters i can. there, i understand a lot. i have gained wisdom, love, understanding, faith, and etc. (read for yourself. hahaha!)
okay, okay. that's not what i'm going to share right now. one day, soon, i'll post for that. but for now.. here's for you. :)
last july 3, tuesday, i received a phone call. at first, i was hesitant to pick up the phone, since the number that has appeared was not registered. so, i think it took me two to three rings before i decided to answer. and that was when i had a phone interview. it was my first time! and can you imagine that i'm not that prepared to speak in english, fluently! the pressure is on, the heat is on, (though it was kinda gloomy, kinda windy, coldy afternoon). on the other line, he said his name is francis, francis bumanglag of emerson. and would you believe, i have no idea that, that company, EMERSON is gonna be a very big reason of my busyness these past few days, and weeks.
the conversation went on. oh eeeeem!!!!!! i was too nervous to express myself. i was so unprepared, but i did try my best, to you know, deserve and worth his time, their time. oh, by the way, he is one of the HRs, and responsible for the recruitment. he asked me general questions. mostly about myself. alangan naman about himself? hahahaha! kidding aside. :p and after a several questions, he also explained the things that i need to know, everything under the company. the said phone interview went well. i think? i believe so. :) before the call ended, he said he's gonna send na lang the previsor exam details. so, i said okay and thank you. very casual. and to my happiness, i was jumping and can't contain my happiness after the call. SURREAL!
few minutes later, i already received the details.
THE NEXT DAY was my previsor exam. i don't have any idea about the word itself. previsor?! pre (before) + visor (supervise), eh? :) i came late. yes, i was late dude. the exam was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, i came like 2:10? but the real reason behind was that, i wandered. again. yes, AGAIN. repetitive? destined? i don't know, but yes, i was kinda lost. going back, i said to the dispatcher to bring me or (i don't know the word), ibaba, yon! na ibaba ako sa cybergate plaza. since, hindi ko nga knowsline itong lugarshu na itey. and so i trusted this man. and to my surprise, hindi rin pala niya alam! at ang masaklap pa dun, hindi niya sinabi sa akin na hindi niya pala alam. and was only when we or i was kinda questioning him, where are we? are we near? and i was reminding him over and over again to stop me at the said plaza. so the result? i walked! medyo sumama lang naman ang loob ko kay manong driver for not informing me na hindi pala niya alam, but nevertheless, what's done is done, bumaba ako ng bus and joked to him that it's all his fault! and i smiled. :) charged to experience, darling! going back, i walked.. and it was not a joke to walk that far! as in, faaaaar! and to add the terribleness, it was raining that time, i was wearing a dress slash skirt slash palda-like, slippers, and the rain was like against me.
i never failed to asked some security guards to know the real score, the place. (since sila lang naman ang talagang maaasahan ko that mid of time).
i came, successfully. i logged in. i got a visitor id. took the exam. (i was the only one wearing a skirt! they're wearing slacks.) yes, i noticed it.
the previsor exam was uhmmm... hard? i don't know exactly but, it took my brain out of my mind! it really requires reading, understanding and knowledge. so, i just told myself to answer to the best that i know. it was technical exam, excel then followed by personality. it was a hard time. and, hello? i don't know the other terms given in the exam! during the exam, i was like.. what's this? o.o
i passed.
again, I PASSED!!!!! :)
given the details for my next level. and here comes the panel interview and final interview. booo! scary to death.
i don't like to be a left alone, so i studied. yes, you've heard it right, i studied. the terms, any information that could help me during that day.
MONDAY is the day. i came super early! hahahaha! 1 and half hours before the said time, i was already there. see? i've learned my lessons. :) bumped into one of my former classmate in college, joro. i met a lot of new faces, rizza, karen, dan, sharmaine, sorry to those other five people that i forgot the names. but i know you guys by faces. :)
it was breathtaking. nervousness raised.
i won't further elaborate the two said BIG interviews. but, what i can say is that, NAKAKALOKA.
i passed.
again, I PASSED!!!!!! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
i've got the job offer. accomplished my pre-employment requirements.
so now, i am waiting for another update. looking forward to a more brighter soon to be... aaaaah! alam mo na yon. :)
God is really good. He is always, always, always, always, [a million and gazillion always] there. just trust His will. He knows what will be best for you. He's plans and thoughts are always better than you. so never stop keeping the faith. keep the fire alive! just don't forget to call! :)
