Greetings hivers,
It's been almost a week since I last posted here in the hive. What makes me bothered and keeps me busy last week was the call I received from a call centre company I tried to apply for last month and the funny thing about it was that I was surprised when they called me because I didn't finish my application online for the reason that I got to the point where I felt discouraged. I thought maybe I couldn't handle the job because I have no experience in this field yet. But I wanted to try how to apply to this kind of job so I just stood by what I started and do my best in the interview and that's when I finished the initial interview, I was told to go to their company address in the city to do my final interview.
So, on the following day, I prepared my needed things to bring and of course, I prepared myself for the new things I might encounter throughout my venture that day.
I arrived at the venue for my final interview which was about to be cut off in a few minutes but thanks God I made it and made it through the final interview. After my interview, I was told to sit down to wait for the assessment, so just so I could share something with my hubby when I got home, even if I was lucky or not, I took some pictures of where I was sitting.
This was their front desk
Applicants waiting area
After 20 minutes of waiting, we were immediately called inside for the assessment. When I entered, I was too nervous to imagine that I came here with very little idea of what to do. Another thing is that I'm not good at computers, so that's one of the things I'm worried about, plus the instructor's strictness is scary to ask questions about things but I just thought that even if I pass the assessment or not, the important thing is that I experienced how to apply so that if I want to try again next time, I will have ideas to prepare better.
Usually, those who took the assessment together with me finished quickly because they all came from other call centre companies and I was the only one who had a High School graduate record and they were all college level and had a graduate as well. But I thought to be brave and think of it as a challenge for me but it's sad because I was the last one to finish and worst of all I wasn't told that I had passed but instead, I was only told to wait for a text message but if that is what mostly being said to those who don't make it based on my experience before so after that, I went out from the building past 6 p.m and stayed outside for 5 minutes to think of what just happened inside. I'm just laughing mixed emotions with regret because it's a shame that there was an opportunity but I didn't get it.
After what happened to me inside, I thought about meeting one of my cousins here in the city and he immediately responded yes and that's when I took a jeep to our meeting place but there was something wrong again. It happened to me that the jeep I was riding in was wrong so I have to get off and the one I rode in was laughing at me. I admit that I'm not very good at sneaking around here in the city yet even though I lived here for a couple of years. Later after we meet we decided to go to the newly renovated popular public market here in Cebu just to enjoy a few moments while I'm here. We spend a few minutes wandering around but honestly, those photos are really quick shots because I'm so afraid that maybe my phone could be grabbed by somebody here so even though I'd like to take pictures I was so careful with my phone safety.
It was getting late, so after I saw the new market that I had just seen on Television, I decided to take the bus to go home and it was a surprise to me that the riding procedure had already changed so I think that I was staying at home for so long that I haven't travelled back to the city. The bus I boarded at 9 o'clock and I arrived home at around midnight. Feeling so tired and dismayed I'm still thankful for the things I experienced and the safe travel that day.
Fast Forward
I was never expecting about my application but after almost a week I got a call from one of the staff who informed me that I had passed and if I'm still interested I need to process my requirements ASAP so I can have the medical test so after that I can start my training right away. I was so overwhelmed by the news and that is the reason why I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy working on my papers and hopefully, everything goes well so can start a new venture. I know that I have a lot of things to consider because it will be the first time I will be away from my family but I will work on it because I want to get a job now to help my husband for us to rebuild our house and for our children's future as well.
Wish me luck on my new journey soon and I will surely share with you how this new adventure goes on.
Best regards to everyone😉!
