Well, that's what it said when I opened my e-mail. Private, my foot, I'm sharing this:

Oh, well, I did not expect to make it, anyway. In fact, I would be surprised if they decided to get me. The moment that I tried filling up their application forms when I was there and couldn't understand some stuff, I already had a feeling. Then I took the qualifying tests which I could've done better if I went there more prepared. I thought I was prepared. Served me right.
Also, I'm not sure I'd like to work there, anyway. The stuff I edited were too technical for me (not to mention, boring) and the last part of the tests made me laugh because I almost couldn't answer a freakin' thing!!! Too technical. But, of course, even so, it still would have been nice if I passed them. Oh, well, at least now, I have an idea on what to prepare on next time :)
Aw, well...

ReplyDelete"soon could be quite sometime but as you say, you haven't even given your best shot on this."
ReplyDeleteNot intentionally, I must emphasize. I did try what I thought was my best shot. But I turned out to be quite ignorant :(
"maybe next time 101% will make you 'IN' "
