Hey there Steemians!
I was too happy last night about that one client I sent a proposal to in onlinejobs.ph platform, that I almost forgot about my other scheduled interview last night for a different client.
This seems like a "when-it-rains-it-pours" scenario.
I do hope at least one of these clients who shortlisted me, will hire me for the job, eventually. Fingers crossed!
EPIC FAIL
The first one was quite unintended.
I totally forgot I agreed for an interview dated June 15 at 12pm EST, which is by the way June 16, 12am here in the Philippines.
I was already lying in bed when a calendar alarm popped up on my mobile phone. It was a good thing, I was still tinkering on my social media accounts, then.
When I checked the reminder, it was about 30 minutes before the interview would take place. I hurriedly stood up, combed my hair and put on a little powder on my face and a lip tint. I was fortunate enough that the client did a Skype call only and no videos. Otherwise, she'd witness someone unprepared and a bit horrible to look at.
Fast forward to June 16 morning.
I took note that I had another scheduled interview from another client whom I found on indeed.com.
It was supposed to be at 2pm on June 17, but they moved it to June 16 at 7pm Philippine time. I made sure I got the correct timezone. So that, at 3pm, I decided to iron my hair so I would look and feel comfortable during the interview.
At 6:45, I changed my sleeveless shirt into a more decent one. Put on powder on the face and some lip tint. Again.
Come 7:01, the client messaged me on Skype. We had a few exchange of greetings and then our conversation went on. I tried to get myself ready in case he'd call for the interview. I was waiting so long but our q and a's were moving smoothly as well. Then, I finally concluded that the interview does not require any videos nor call at all. It was a chat interview.
I was not given prior notice. The point person who set up the interview said that the CEO would call me, but still I like how it came about because chatting was much more comfortable for me rather than talking, all the more with video.
Of course, I felt relieved because I won't have to talk to him face to face. Then, the chat went on for about 40 minutes or so.
This is what happens when you put crazy effort in preparing yourself to get a valuable result but then you realized that it was not so necessary afterall, so you just end up taking a selfie for a remembrance.
At this point, please wish me more luck so I could finally land at least one of these work-from-home gigs.
Please UPVOTE, FOLLOW and RESTEEM!
