I Got Rejected
When was the last time you were truly disappointed and hurt? What was that all about?
I've mentioned in one of my short posts recently that I applied for a job, specifically, a call center agent in Teleperformance and VXI. Life was totally teasing us recently that I wanted to have a job and somehow help my parents in our daily needs as well as in paying out debts. Debts, debts, and debts. They have been paying our family's debts from debts. My father has no job because every company he applied requires someone who can work up to weekends. My mother, on the other hand, works hard in her manicure/pedicure sideline. What disappointed me before was that I can't find a job too that fits me given that there were really no hiring stores near us.
Thankfully, last week, my best friend told me that she was referred by a friend in Teleperformance company. That made me really happy but then, I realized it would really cost much as Davao is an hour away from here. Apart from that, I'm still not ready and my communication skills is not that good so I told them I won't go. Yet, she told me to just grab it because she'll just let me borrow and the interview questions accordingly was all about personal experiences. Then I took it. I tried to practice night before but it was really fast because I still edited birthday greetings for our sisters in Christ and posted those in our Facebook account a minute after 12 midnight strikes. I've also tried to be active here in read.cash hoping that Rusty will tip me 'cause it would really be a great help to pay the money I'll be borrowing.
It was my first time applying for a job! When we got in Teleperformance application site, I can't help but to be nervous even though I tried to compose myself and be confident. Being confident and a good communication skills are the key to be accepted in jobs like these. There was an exam at first that will tell if we'll proceed to the final interview. And you know what's funny? The instructor told us to check the informations on the screen in front if they were all correct. What's in there was only my email, name, and my password in their company therefore I thought, I had to click the open and check the other informations. The instructor saw what I did and sermoned us about the importance of following every little instructions in their company as they will all matter in the end. HAHAHA I felt embarrassment as well because I thought I was the only one who did that. Yet, some of my friend did the same too but they were behind the instructor. That kind of lessened my shame haha.
The examination went on and it required listening and speaking skills, fast typing skills, personality test, and analysis test composing mathematical problems. I didn't pass because there are a lot of listening tests which I suck because my mind as the story goes on was flying huhu. I wasn't able to focus and the volume of their speaker was kind of low. There was a time limit too that made me to not finish the test. That's it, but they've given us the chance and still interviewed us over the phone. It should be a great opportunity but since it is my first time, I wasn't able to answer the questions in an organize way. I was really nervous. The interviewer told me that they'll just call the following week which is today but then, I didn't receive one. But you know, I'm still not losing hope even though of one my dear classmates is on the assessment level now. We were seven who applied but she was the only one who got a call.
I got rejected, this is what my mind keeps on telling me. Yet, my heart wanted to believe I may not because I'm still hoping. Whatever the result is, I know God has a better and perfect plan for me. Indeed, experience is the best teacher. I guess is just the start of my real journey to the real world with real obstacles.
Thanks. Owe you big time! β‘
