Unemployed..?!

21.March.2011

How much is the percentage of unemployment rate in the Philippines? I would like to know to welcome myself? No way!

Lately, I've been checking company websites, especially hotels, and job advertising websites, to check the job openings and vacancies. I have been wanting to be employed for a part-time or casual employment while waiting for my Singapore application results. I have sent e-mails with my resume to three companies/hotels as of now. I've been redoing my cover letter over and over again and I have been editing my resume several times now. Maybe I should just go for a walk-in application? I have tried that with a recruiting agency for cruise ships but I was kind of rejected. However, I will try to apply for hotels next time. I'm still going for casual employment since I am not definite with my Singapore application. Ah, I just can't wait doing nothing.

Here's a good news: My parents agreed about me going to Hongkong and they will pay for it. What I'm talking about? My group's thesis paper was accepted for the 9th APacCHRIE to be held in Hongkong on June 2-5, 2011. It was a big opportunity for me so I might as well go there. :)

A seat in the Orchard Road

17.March.2011

Today was very tiring. I and three of my friends went to a recruitment agency for cruise lines. We actually went there only expecting to know what their qualifications and requirements are. In the end, we end up submitting our resume and applying. We really can't believe it at first but when our names were called, we know on that instant that this is the reality of after-school life. Kit and Joseph were given the chance to be interviewed. Actually, I think that the interviewer had a crush on Joseph since he really insisted on looking for a position for him. He was the last one and we waited for him for so long.

After our job hunt venture, Kit and I went to SM Megamall to eat at Orchard Road. We missed Singaporean food that's why we really went there. However, we're somehow disappointed since we knew the authentic taste of the dishes that we ordered. I ordered lemon chicken and the lemon sauce tasted just like the one I made.
