Speaking of perseverance, here I write again after a long pause since the IELTS test.

I love my life after graduation, no more tedious calculations waiting for me in the tote. No more Excels, Visio and more importantly some arrogant "Chined" faces.
I just have to dedicate my daily routine to typing resume, cover letters and waiting for replies. No excessive oxidizing / aging process going on and I can feel my skin is calmer and more tauten (quote from Penelope).

On the other side, mom's over-caring attitude can be annoying tho. I don't even need an alarm clock nowadays as she will ring me at 10.00 a.m sharp just to make sure i don't miss any calls from my potential employer. ( annoying sometimes can evolve to pest )

I have to say, I love interviews as it is the only time I speak English in Malaysia. ( apart from occasional lame calls from my labels over-indulged cousin ) Some of the HR executives were nice and jovial, but you may end up with an oppressive douche. I remember I received a question once on how to earn respect from lower ranked personnel but with 20 years experience. Then the next 3 following question will be : "what if they still don't respect you" .
(p/s: for freshies out there, HR means human resource, not Helena Rubinstein)

Next I just waited for replies. Mind you, working efficiencies vary throughout countries and companies. They may take weeks and some close to one month to give feedback. Thus, I eat, pray, love (this book apparently inspired millions of readers in US, Oprah loves it til death ) with patience and finally I receive several offers.

I have a trick to make the whole waiting process seems like a heaven. Just remember, take it easy and your parents are there to finance you. If you don't get a job, they won't disown you as if you didn't get A's in exam. Please, the economy is in contraction and they know it.
