I'm done searching for jobs
and I'm done going to interviews for jobs
(for now).
I got a job offer today with Business Objects! I'm so happy!!! Co-op's been screwing around with my marks lately and I haven't had time to study. I did horrible on my CPSC 213 midterm but now that I know I got a job offer from a company I want to work at, I'm so relieved that I can't feel the horribleness of my midterm.
I had an interview with HSBC on Thursday. I thought that it went pretty well and that I definitely got the job. Then, on Friday, I had another job interview with Business Objects. A couple of days before my interview, Mickey told me that the interview with Business Objects was really hard... so I was like "I'm not gonna get the job anyway, why bother wasting my time and researching on the company....". So then I went to the interview absolutely unprepared. During the interview, I thought it was working out really well, much better than I had expected. However, at the end of the interview, I forgot to ask for their business card to send them a thank you ljavascript:void(0)etter for their time and such. I did so many things wrong, I did not anticipate that they would offer me the job!
On Friday night during one of my family dinners, I began to hesitate. Personally, I preferred Business Objects a lot more. Not only because they have a nice building, but also because I wouldn't have to wear business attire and spend more money on clothes. Clothes that I don't want to wear in the first place. I started to think what I should do if I got the job offer from HSBC first. Should I accept? Or should I decline? If I accept, then there's always that chance that Business Objects might want me afterwards and I won't be able to work at my dream company. If I decline, what if Business Objects doesn't offer me the job afterwards? So I was in this dilemma.
So, in the end, everything worked out fine and I would like to take this moment to say.... "YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
