the wannabe

posted by crazyyuan
seeing my cousin go for so many interviews from so many industries, so many companies.. i am truly inspired.. maybe i am picky, lazy, but yes indeed it is ur first job.. u got to be career.. i had an arguement that came to me.. i dun know how true it is.. but here it is.. u tell me if its true.

as a civil eng.. and with the construction industry booming.. its true u can really afford to pick and choose.. as they are in urgent need of fresh grads.. like many other companies.. u got the mkt value.

but for a mkt grad. u got no exp.. thats bad. noone wants to pay someone and have to teach them at the same time. i am honest in my work experience, portfolio and media contacts.. i got little and none of them ..and there have to be some one to give u the chance.. thats whyi grabbed a job on the go.. just to gain exp first.. then look and find again.. and then as i discovered more ..only large mncs need marketers..pple with budget.. usualyl sales can do that job.. and they want pple with exp.. duh.. that makes the pool even smaller. and then for pple out there.. where do u learn the exp? i am still finding.. stubbornly refusing to go for banks and insurance.. and after the grammer test incident.. i have totally no fate in my english.. fondly remembering that the best report written in uni was the one that was proof read by my roomie who minors in eng.. i cant do marcom.. cos no one will trust me to do press releases.. then there are designs.. which i think i am fairly good at.. i cant do anything cos i dun have a design dip ( which i am considering finding out whether there are any part time courses).. but i doubt i will be able to afford them.. and i read the recruit today and saw a guy with a fines arts degree in typograhic design.. my god.. the sound of that makes me drool and jealous.. and then i did something crazy.. i wrote an email to the person.. yes..
