Before I actually reached Sweden I have always thought that I would successfully find a job and secure myself financially enabling me to satisfy my financial call anytime I want. Plus I received a call from a company in Sweden, just a couple of days before I leave Kuala Lumpur. This strenghten my belief that I am able to secure a job as soon as I settle down in the land of Scandinavia.
But the moment I stepped out from the job interview in Damco last January, I knew for sure that I would not be getting the job. First of all, I did really bad during the interview; bad posture, passive communication, no eye contacts, out of focus; it was just so terrible that I felt ashamed of having gone through it! The night before the interview I felt that I was ready for anything hence I did not prepare myself for much. It was only during the interview that I lost my self confidence, for a really nonsense cause!
I have since then been searching high and low for jobs on the internet, through friends, friends of friends, job ads on the newspaper, I can say "you name it, I've done it". OK, maybe I was not so aggressive by calling up companies or turning up unexpectedly at interview locations for which I was not called for. And sometimes I think that I should. But I don't do it. Why? Because I am quite egoistic to begin with. And I have two big asses that are heavy to be carried around most of the time.
I think I am rambling too much.
Here's the goal: I want to make a post on this blog for each and every day that I am in Sweden.
That will include the past two months that I have missed now. Meaning that I will make two or three posts for the next couple of weeks to redeem the posts from January and February. Ok, I am starting to ramble again. So here goes the second post! :)
