SO I applied for a pretty boring job, basically data entry in a recruitment team. But the organisation is cool, it'd be interesting to see how they work, and it'd be nice to work for a cause I believe in again. And might work out okay to have a less-challenging job while I finish up uni. Besides, beggars can't be choosers, everyone has to start somewhere. Anyway, they called me up today and said the interview was great etc etc but that my "skill-set is too high". JEEZ! After several months, the situation seems to me to be this: I can't get a boring, easy job cos I'm over qualified and they can tell I won't stay long. I can't get a challenging, awesome job cos I'm still at uni and don't have enough experience. Where is my niche? Who WILL employ me? I don't want to go back to retail. I guess I'll keep doing office temp work!
In other news:
I caught up with Westy and Justin last week! Westy was in SA for an S&A visit (coaching trip for AIESEC) so we caught up for lunch one day. It was great to chat again (last met at IC 04 in Germany) about life on the NC, AIESEC Aust gossip and China. Justin was in Adelaide for less than 24 hrs after a tour along the Great Ocean Road. We met up for dinner then had drinks with some of the others on the tour. It was fun to catch up and laugh again about Aussie vs Canadian stuff, catch up on gossip and mutual friends, and reminisce about people and experiences in Beijing last summer.
Since summer is coming, I now have blond highlights! I definitely feel lighter and more summery! Too bad it rained most of today - at least the weekend was lovely!
Monday I got on the bus, dressed for work (not in a suit, but nicely enough I think), and asked for a single student ticket. Not cos I'm a student who's single, but cos I wanted a single trip ticket for a student. The driver then asked if I wanted a high school or tertiary ticket! What the?! Still?! I don't believe it... what do I have to do to look my age? This is getting really tiring... I need to go back to Asia... people there seem to think I look my age :) Just as long as I don't try to speak Mandarin!!!
