Comfort zones away!! Be gone
The past week, I had contemplated on contacting the person from a certain franchise, they were looking for team members. Its not about the money per se, I wanted some good experiences, meeting new people and make new connections. I want my faith in humanity restored, its not gonna happen if I just stay at home, do chores, the usual visit to grandmas and picking up my sisters form school. I feel that I am out of touch.
I contacted them anyways and hoped for the best.
So, I brought up this idea to my mum.
She offered me rm1000 (1000 freaking dollars) to do house chores and to help her around the house. I mean, is that not what I'm doing now, only for free, maybe she doesn't see what I do for her. ( I've decided whenever she comes home I will rush down to sweep the floors and lipat the kain and make sure she sees it, if not she'll just say I'm a lazy ass, spoilt girl.)
Mind you, the job I'm applying to makes nowhere near what my mum is offering.
She tried to talk me out of it, I don't see where she was going with her arguments, coz I do the houseworks anyways, if she pays me, that means I'm obliged, if i dont do the work, she can't scold me for not doing the work right? (She scold me anyway, thats what mothers are for, scold/teach). I told her my reason, I wanted to broaden my horizon, meet new people, try something new. She said "okay". Okayyyyy with no contest.
Today, was the interview, my first ever interview, I had with me my one page resume and my certificates, reached the interviewing place early by 15 mins, I dragged my 2 little sisters along. I repaid their kindness with chocolate eggs, chocolate creme eggs, and of course KFC.
I was really out of my comfort zone, I have never done this kind of thing before, half of the time I wanted to go home. Just go home. The other half of me, questioned myself, was there anything to loose if I waited and do the interview? The answer was No. My sis nagged, 'we came all the way here, just to see u quit even before the interviewer has arrived? What about parking tix?'
The interviewer came, he was a nice man, cheerful and non threatening, so I filled up some forms and waited for my turn. A friend from high school came, she too was going for the interview. Phewwwww..ada gang
My turn came, all he asked was, explain things about yourself, why u want to work, describe yourself in 5 words, what are your qualification...it wasn't formal at all, we were like friends 'poreting'. His partner at one time, saw my CV and said, I can't do the job (I was highly confused?). I bluntly said, dude what are you talking about? This juicing job? I need to work with the government first? The government is the reason I am in this situation, how posibble??? He cleared the air bybsaying he is from a private medical institution... I let out a long 'oooooo' yes aaa?
My interview lasted about half an hour. It was fun. I hope I get it.
The moral of this story is, just do it, if you have done your research and you are confident in your findings why not? Just jump into it. Right?
