yesterday was the final day for the starting school program.
finally learnt how to write my own resume & cover letter.
madam Roxana really helped us through preparing for the mock interview.
ok..so i've written a cv for my self before. basic. the resume writing session was really an eye opener for me. like the thing one should put/xput in their cv..what to highlight..what to stay low.
so v prepared for the mock interview. had to go through the job seeking websites to get an advert on job openings. n wow..its extreamly hard to get any job that matches my qualifications & capabilities. everyone wants MANDARIN speaking staff..how la like this??? so i had to settle with the TOC's advert, CDC Admin Assistant..whatever that was..i just went through the job specifications & qualifications...it fits me..so HANTAM SAJA LAA.. the interview was fun. i was nervous ass hell.. yeah..my 3rd interview in my whole life..eventhough its a MOCK..i really felt like i was really going for the job. had to sell myself basically. was glad to hear Mdm Roxana's word after i was done with the interview.. "i have nothing to say about Nova, she excelled in everything" the truth is..i screwed EVERYTHING that i planned to say..n i basically sold myself during the interview..plus the grammar mistakes..dear Lord..terrifying!
then that was over. and as Mdm Roxana had promised..she will give the best group & best person award.
my team STYLO got the best group...n guess what I got the best person award. ^-^ i have no idea why. i was quiet, did what i was supposed to do, helped my team mates through. i did not purposely put myself in the spotlight. it was a shock for me, coz i though Kumar shines better than everyone else..i seriously though Kumar deserved the award. but whatever..im just thankful. its just one of those days when life tells you that it pays to just be yourself. ^-^
im glad that upm have such a program; resume writing seminars costs a bomb in the real world, n we got it for FREE! i used to grumble at the thought of finishing school; but now i am happy. it was NOT a waste of time.
