Life is not always Beautiful Three months ago, I l declined a full-time position in a prestigious financial company and my friends thought that I was crazy. I never regretted it as I knew by heart that working in public sector is my real passion; however, I either overestimate my ability or the job market is really down right now. Therefore, tragically, I did not even get an entry level position in public sector after sending hundreds of resumes out and have been unemployed for the past three months. After counting down for the coming year on New Year's Eve, I decided to broaden my options on job searching given the situation that the money in my banking account became less and less and I also noticed a few syndromes of unemployment started to show on myself, such as being negative about things around me, becoming reluctant of seeing old friends or making new friends and eating as much as I could, etc. All in all, I do not want to be both unemployed and overweight in months. Thus, I took the action and started to send resumes to non-for-profit organizations as well and finally I got a phone interview for a customer service representative position in this field this afternoon. As always, I like phone interviews better than the face-to-face ones. Because the interviewer cannot tell if I am nervous or trying to hard to please them. Moreover, I can always have the relevant information in hand to help me answer the questions better. I only had two hours to prepare for the interview as they gave me a short notice. During the time, I prepared a few answers of the interview questions that I could think about relates to Customer Service. As expected, the interviewer asked some of the questions that I had prepared beforehand and my answers were articulate and coherent as I basically just looked at the answers on my computer screen directly and read them. Thus I got the job and will start tomorrow. This is such a relief after a three months unemployment. Of course, I will continue my search of work opportunities in public sector.
