Since my last post, there have been some progress in my on-going job hunt. I received a phonecall from one of the application which i had sent out. The caller asked for certain details and told me he will get back to me if his client approved of my application.

Considering that he get back to me less than 12 hours for the phonecall and that its been 5 full days since that phonecall it would probably be safe to say that i will not receive any call from him again.

Well, at least the situation has improve, albeit in baby steps.

Have revised my resume for the sixth time and it looks better now. Looking at my first resume and the current one i could not believe how much it has transformed. The latest resume was vetted by a friend and i did changes as advised by him.

Slim pickings from this week recruits section. There is still the coming NTU job career fair which i am attending. Hopefully there will be better news for me by next week.

That's all for today

The days have been monotonous. Anticipation for the saturday classified during the weekday and then anticipation for the next saturday classified and it goes on.

The news kept on harping that the economy is great and jobs are abundant but to me it does not really seem that way.

For a fresh graduate without any work experience the first step, which i am currently taking right now, is a scary one. There are jobs but jobs which require people with experience. Well if nobody wants to take someone without experience then how does one gain any experience?

In the past 19 days i have sent out 7 resumes. It would probably safe to say that 6 out of the 7 of my application have been rejected because more than 1 week had elapsed without any call or email from them. The most recent application was made yesterday.

However, the good thing about this job hunting experience so far is that it has taught me not to pinned my hopes too much on a single job application because it would only make me more demoralised if that application did not go through.

Oh well! Life goes on and i am looking to spend my time volunteering...
