To start off, I'm quite excited to work this coming sat! First time working as a beauty advisor and its been such a long time since i work in the sales line and somemore it is a job that I'm interested in. I mentioned in my previous post that I wanted to gain experience and more exposure in office job but since its already end of april,and I've went through 5 interviews to be exact, i've seen the whole picture and i've decided to work part-time and see how thing goes(:

Heres a brief summary of the interviews i went:
1st interview-it went smoothly and i got accepted by the pay is kinda low& location is inaccessible therefore i rejected it.
2nd interview: this job requires me to work in a condo as an Admin Assistant dealing with customers complain, billing and booking of facilities, it didnt quite like the job scope, well its over and i'm not accepted.
3rd interview: it was a position as an admin officer, the demand from this job is really really challenging and taxing. I dont think i've the cut for this job and i was pretty nervous for this interview. Furthermore, the location is kinda far and i dont think the company will accept me.
4rd interview: The job that i was selected!
5th interview: this job was sort of trying my luck to get a office job but the position was customer service officer. Alot of calls to be pick up and it requires you to be extremely patient to deal with customer complain, definitely not an easy job. I kind of performed really well during e 1st round but for e 2nd round i screwed up everything cause they're testing my phone communicating. My mandrain was really bad cause i dont speak very frequently though i understand all the single words when i watch the chi news. Quite disappointed at first but well its over. Benefits and pay for this company is really good ((:

So for now, i should be contented that i got a part-time job and the pay is kinda good! But the bad thing is I got to work during wkends! Perhaps i wasnt the type who can work in the office and there are many potential candidates during interview, so things might be blessing in disguise that i wasnt selected.

Who says finding a job is easy?? I had a hard time looking for one with a reasonable pay. Right now, i got to memorise every single products!

BB!

I'm in a real dilemma. I applied for a few admin jobs for the last few months but out of 3, I only got accepted by 1 company. I'm confused whether to accept the beauty advisor job(apparently they've accepted me but work havent got started). Right now, I want to gain as much experience as I can for if I got accepted by SIM for the full-time course, its not quite possible for me to work full-time. ARGHHH. WHY CANT I SEEM TO MAKE UP MY MIND?KILL ME!

I dont want to be broke for the next 5-10 years repaying debts for my school fees:((
SHOULD I REJECT THE SALES LINE JOB?
Since working for a make-up line has always been my dream but I couldnt care less now cause I really need finance/banking/accounting job experience in order to secure a job after taking my degree. I dont want to face the same problem after graduating from poly, not getting any jobs because I am a fresh graduate. It sucks feeling this way now..

CONCLUSION: I'll see how is my uni application, hopefully end of this mth(which i dont think so cos i have not submitted my full diploma and last semester's transcript). *crossed my fingers*

SERIOUSLY ALL THESE THOUGHTS ITS MAKING ME FEELING NEGATIVE NOW!

I hate knowing the direction of life I'm heading to is like walking aimlessly everyday. Apart of me scared that I would not be able to cope with the heavy workload in uni that I opted for a full-time course and at the same time is the money issue. I feel embarrassed to take pocket money from my parents and since I've graduated with a diploma, its logical for me to get a full-time job. But the BIG question will be: will i able to cope with full-time job and part-time studies?
Is degree really everything about education?
Does degree guarantees a good paying job?
I dont want to graduate with a degree and find myself struggling to secure a job because 5-10 years time, everyone is a local graduate be it from a local or private uni.

SHOULD I CONTINUE LOOKING FOR A PART-TIME ADMIN JOB?
