Wow...where can I start? Three days of GEOS indoctrination. Demo was today and while I did some parts well, I think it flopped on the whole. With regard to their teaching method, I totally screwed up the role play portion of it. I was so nervous I was screwing up on other things I otherwise wouldn't have. I was asked in the final interview why I should be hired AND if I wasn't hired, why that would've been the case. Basically I did really well in everything else except the demo so I hope it didn't offset the good stuff   . And while I was "genki" all the way through, it just went down the drain today. I'm exhausted after four FULL days of interviews (dealt with ECC last Thursday) and not feeling good about the demo. Still, when all is said and done, I am glad that I was at least given the chance to try. |
Well, I just got axed. And I'm PISSED not because I got axed, but because she made me WAIT when we both knew she didn't want to hire me. Okay, let me be clear here: We were told during the weekend to call in on Tuesday to find out if we got in or not. I knew I didn't get in just by the stuff she was asking me. That, and my gut feeling told me so. I would've APPRECIATED IT if she was honest about that. Before any of you dispute what I say, I was the one who was in that final interview section so I know what I'm talking about. Vent done. |

| Damn, now I'm scared that I won't get over to Japan. Mind you, I've looked back at my performance and know what I need to change. I know there's no such thing as a free ride, but I never anticipated it to be this hard. |

Jazz, if worst comes to worst you can come here on a tourist visa or a working holiday visa (if you are under 30) and hit the phone book when you arrive. there are more choices than the big 4 schools and though it may take longer to find work its not the end of the world if they dont hire you.
You simply need to ensure you have a return plane ticket and enough cash to last you a couple of months. Its a long shot but its not the end of the world just yet. |
