First

I experienced my first job rejection yesterday. I felt sad but I wasn't devastated. I think the HR people did justice to the hiring process. I heard this particular company only go for those blessed with physical attributes, if it was true then half of the people who were interviewed should have been accepted but that wasn't the case. I was there and I saw how they equally gave everyone a chance to talk and prove to them that they are fit and right for the job.

Interviews are a bit intimidating for first timers like me so I think I scored average. I think what caused me to be a little anxious is the fact the my inexperienced social life made me self-conscious and shy at times. I was asked to talk in front for two minutes, approach the panel and face them with my best smile. I didn't not know the exact reason why I wasn't accepted, I wanted to ask the interviewer but I chickened out so I was left to myself pondering why I didn't qualify for the job. All I'm sure now is that they're not just looking for good looks and big brains, but they're after someone who exudes a warm aura and pleasant personality.

Although I got rejected, they offered me another position (two positions actually), which was not of my choice but I guess it's a nice opportunity and it's a chance to improve myself. I prayed really hard for this interview but I guess the spotlight's not on me, well NOT YET because if the job I wanted wasn't for me, why did the company offered me another position, which is almost the same with the one I wanted only I got lower pay and lesser privileges. I remember one professor I had in college mentioned about choices, that in life there are instances when you don't like what you're given but you still have to decide and choose. I believe God has better plans, I know none of it yet but I'm sure it will be the grandest of the grand!

Anyway, I called the company and accepted the job. I'm scheduled for an exam tomorrow. Wish me luck! :)
