A JOB, FINALLY

Finally, I have a job. I am now a call service representative at E-Telecare. I signed a 6-month contract with them yesterday after passing the five-day commnuication skills training. I am gonna start Tuesday next week. I’m so excited already. Can’t wait for my first salary. Haha.

Yesterday, was like the most heart-pounding day of my life. I had to deal with three interviews that basically gauged my ability and communication skills. It was like a test to see whether the five-day training did me any good or not.

After everyone was done with the interview, we were like so scared. I personally was already resigned to the idea of not passing the final interview since I thought I did not do well in it.

When one of the trainers entered the room with a piece of paper on her hand, my heart just went to the roof. I was really nervous. Then she called some people to transfer to another room. After the last person exited the door, she told us that everyone left in the room passed the interview and would be signing a contract at the end of the day. I cried with happiness. I thought of my mom and how happy she was gonna be when she finds out about it. MJ and Jen, my nff* also cried with me. We were just so happy. But of course we felt sorry for those who didn’t pass. The class was already bonded. But it was expected. Right in the beginning of the training we were told that not all of us would be offered the coveted contract.

So after the contract signing, we went to the canteen and ordered ourselves bottle of beers to celebrate along with those who did not pass. We had so much fun talking about each other, first impressions, cruches, love, being gay and straight, etc. I went home really tipsy with Jen. I also spent the night at her place.

Earlier today, Jen and I watched White Chicks at SM North Edsa. The movie was fun. And when we were about to exit the moviehouse, Rommel, our co-trainee, called me from behind. Hahaha. What a coincidence!

Hayyy… Life has really its way of agreeing with you. I just hope it goes my way always.
