You can never have too many copies of our resume with job agencies. It seems that to find a job, you would need to cast a really wide net. And by wide, I mean keeping an eye out for opportunities everywhere you walk (not that you shouldn’t be doing so with your other eye, but you need it to look where you are going).

Since last week, there hasn’t been much progress: employers get their positions filled up even before the work day has started, and again, there is still the treacherous minefield of MLM companies eager to close you as a prospect, so there’s only this much I could do for the classified advertisements in the newspapers. So I managed to link up with a few job agents, whom had client offers, which they earnestly send my resume to.

But alas, either these companies take a long time to go over the resumes, or they evidently are not in a hurry to fill those positions. Which goes against the grain of logic. If you are seeking a temporary fullfilment, you would more likely be in an urgent need, wouldn’t you? You would also be more apt to have less stringent requirements out of the person you hire for only 1 month at a strech? I would.

Well, there’s this company that has finally started calling for interviews, and I happen to be one of the short-listed ones. Apparently, in an article coincidentally published in today’s classified advertisements, this company would be listed as a “behemoth” that moves slowly, so this justifies their 2 week response time.

Either that, or they bothered to send someone down to shadow me for 2 weeks, just like how the Singapore Armed Forces did before my enlistment. All you spies out there didn’t know I was onto you eh?

The agent has told me to be in smart casual for tomorrow’s interview, but hoped that I would gain a better impression upon the interviewer by donning a shirt. I hesitated; because I don’t have a single shirt. Nor black shoes or socks to that effect.
