To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Not yet my time to shine

February 5, 2010

I applied for a senior position here in the office but no luck. It was actually a split-second decision to do something ridiculous, and until now I can’t get over with that.

What mekes me think of doing so is that I remember one of my conversations with my sister, that I hope that I would be promoted from my post this year, and if things turn out the other way it will be ok for me, as long as I stay as long as I can… 

One of my close friends told me that there will be an opening for a senior position soon, for she was promoted and her position will be vacant. I waited for that and here it is… 

But one thing that hinders me fist from applying to a higher post is my capability, and nervousness came over. And encouraged by my closest friends, I applied in a split second and proceed with the interview.

Sad to say, I never made it to the last interview with our manager. I never expect more after that. I wasnt prepared for that interview, and what I relied on at that time is the stock knowledge about what I learned about SEO. 

After the interview, the newly-promoted friend of mine and I talked about the said interview. She and the other Manager (whom I was interviewed) said that the interview with me was impressive but since I lacked experience  I wasnt able to make it to the second and last interview. 

I admit that I wasnt prepared. it was an impromptu decision. For me it was quite an experience to have that interview for I know what to do next time opportunity strikes.

Today’s not yet my time. but I hope it will come… :)
