gah! don't you hate it when bad timing ruined your chances of getting something better in life?
it's so weird. i was sooo hoping to get a job at groupon. i even sent my resume to them. they told me that i would be contacted within 3 days if my application was shortlisted. if you waited till the 3rd day, and you still haven't gotten a call or e-mail yet, naturally you'll assume you didn't get it. so i went to this interview for another job (an admin job, oh gosh), and (haha) i got it. yeah. nothing to shout about. i'm not exactly thrilled about it. but something else made the day worse.
GROUPON CALLED ME AT FLIPPING 7:30PM! like, dude! i know we malaysians are guilty of doing things at the last minute. but come on! you could've at least called me in the afternoon! way to go! and you guys call yourself efficient. ya-huh.
i went for the interview for the admin position and the guy was asking me, you're not planning on leaving the job after a few months, are you? cuz i said i might further my studies. and i said, no. and he replied, oh good cuz a number of applicants we hired prior to this just bailed on us after a few months. OH GAWD. that was one of the reasons why i just couldn't accept the job at groupon. imagine how i'm perceived in their mind when i have to call them the next day and say, oh hey i guess i might not be coming for work next week. and forever.
it might be just like what my mom told me, it was meant to be comforting, but meh - it just wasn't meant to be.
