Working off campus- days were just passing by with an aspiration and a desire that my career would kick start some day. I can't express the number of jobs I have searched for, applied for- just out of the hope that things would work out positive ....some time soon. Amidst all these, I never forgot to enjoy every moment of LIFE. If not for V~, it could have never been possible-Life still looked beautiful and promising in those times....the smiles on our faces never actually died !!!
One fine morning, I wake up to see an email from one of the employers I have applied for, willing to employ me as an online tutor for a tutoring website. Hardly had that news sunk in, I receive yet another email from the Technical Coordinator of the LPL asking me for an appointment for an interview.
Well the email from the latter one is a long story. To cut it short, I have been interviewed for this position about 5 months ago and got a rejection letter as usual! And this time on, he wanted to me to interview for the same position as in his words 'he took a wrong decision the last time'. My anxiety knew no bounds that day. I had all kinds of questions- what is he going to interview me for this time, would that be a technical one (trust me for the first time I brushed up some basic concepts), is he willing to employ an international and even before employing, am I the only one he is interviewing or are there another bunch of people in the queue..oooooohhh!!
Puffed up with all this anxiety, I meet J~- my interviewer. As soon as we enter the boardroom for the interview and hardly was it a few seconds that we took our seat, J~ gets to say -" You have been technically interviewed a few months ago, so I am not interviewing you today. I shall brief you the responsibilities, take you on a library tour and discuss the pay package and if you are interested in joining us we can kick start in a couple of days"- can you beat that!!! I was there with all sorts of questions, and I get to hear this- now this is what I meant by a roller coaster!
I think it took me two or three days for the news to sink in. I wasn't happy nor sad. I was numb, blank whatever you can term it. Was it probably the long wait for a job that made me feel so, or the sudden unexpected news bumping in my face- whatever it was, it was not good- I felt VERY STRESSED. V~ could not understand what I was trying to express, nor my mum, dad. My heart was pounding and could feel the stress of every nerve in my body. I am sure this is something I have never felt before- a Novel Experience!
