Job Hunting: A Whirlwind of Emotions
Job hunting can be one of most loneliest thing in the world. I am not exaggerating, this is what I felt the entire time I was in IBM Daksh trying out my luck as a Customer Service Specialist. It is lonely because:
1) You have to wait an eternity for your name to be called, it actually sound so much better when you hear your name being called after 2 hours of waiting, fidgeting and imagining all sorts of things.
2) After 2 hours of waiting, you might not be considered for the position because of varying reasons and it feels really bad when you see in paper that you didn't pass an exam masquerading as an intelligence test but in reality a device to separate the "educated class and English speaking" from the rest of the strata.
3) Conversations in a recruitment center sometimes revolves around the tragedy of not getting hired after applying in 10 or more companies and if not, family woes and social conditions. It's actually depressing hearing people talk about their lives specially for a 20 year old fresh graduate who has no idea of what is really the world "out there".
4) Learning that you passed the exam but the person you're speaking or you've become friends with didn't make it. One person told me, also in a recruitment center, that its better not to speak with anyone because you might be emotionally attached and you'll find it difficult to react and console the person when that person didn't make it and you did, it sounds insincere.
5) No matter what you do and no matter how good you are, your life still depends on the recruitment officer and his/her dispositions.
I hate capitalists in times like these.
Good thing I passed, I'm now part of the working class but this is not a happy ending because in the I know that millions are still jobless and are still out there waiting for their names to be called.
I wish things were different.

Whole
name is Ma. Francia Camacho Rosero.
Libran (go figure where her birth date falls) in the year 1985. Sees
herself as a leader,
she never avoid situations
where she can learn and improve. She
has a knack for reading and really likes her skin color
(hence, the inspiration for the picture) because it
makes her truly Filipino. She loves to sing while doing the dishes and dance
while cleaning. She loves to watch movies and laugh with Vic and Jose. She digs
Disney movies and still loves Lindsay Lohan although she metamorphosed to
something undistinguishable. She has great and big dreams
both for herself and family but find those dreams really selfish, since she
hasn't figured out yet what she can for her country. She would love to work for
humanity. But for the mean time she's just working on familiarizing herself with
every word in the dictionary. A destructive perfectionist, she loves to ask how
things work and likes to know why things works this way and not that way. She is
fascinated by the Arab Culture, Mafia and organized crimes and she really likes
History. She loves watching the news and listening to speeches. She likes
watching sports although she doesn't really know how to play them and one habit
she has been trying to overcome is stalking actors and actresses. She is a frustrated athlete.
And she's serious about her spirituality.
