Let the verdicts be known



Okay, so here are some updates from the gurl who had been interviewed countless times.

So i met the director of company A who had done a review on my performance for the past 7 days. I sat with him for not less than an hour to discuss those reviews, one by one. I mean, i had to take a photograph to show evidence of the kind of scrutiny that i had to endure to get in. See, he made notes on everything that i do for every 10 minutes.

The evaluation process was totally insane. Even listening to the reading of the results was frustating. BUT, can't complain: I got the job eventually. YAY!

That's one down, and 3 more to go..!! I felt like i'm back in uni, doing 4 intensive courses, where the schedule is too tight and you have to run from one class to another, and your brain is forced to work overtime. I mean, after i finish listening to the one hour review, i jumped in to car and went to company B straightaway to do final preparation for my review tomorrow. I'm like: where's my caffeine?!

(Question: Why is that the most established british institution in Bandung does not serve coffee, they only have teas? English breakfast and Earl Grey, thank you very much. The british are too proud. Yet i love them, i want to work for them.)

Anyway, here's the thing with company A and B. A is very american, the culture, the people, the ways they conduct business, the work ethics and all that are so american. So carefree, so direct and straight foward like "In your face, man!", so alive and so fast paced. Whereas company B, which is the british institute is very cultured, very high society, people are so proper and well manered, the way they behave towards one another is very polished. Love, love, love being surrounded by English accents, since most of the employees are european, i wish to find jude law look alike, or hugh jackman, or christian bale, never mind. haha. Choosing between A and B is tough choice already.

Wait until you see the gallery where i'd been offered a job by my bro's boss. It's too DAMN FANTASTIC!!! I fall in love with the gallery the minute i step into the front door. True, the job wont be as stimulating as it would be when i work for A and B, it would be tedious and i would be required to do many many paperworks. But, how could one resist to manage such a beautiful, classy, milan/manhattan kind of gallery??

YEs, and i'm up to interview stage phase three with company D in jakarta, and AH! company E as well.

HELP!
