Well I didn’t get the position for 206. Even though I felt that I had done well in the interview process. In retrospect, I felt like I should have related more of their questions to pushing my strengths and past experiences instead of just answering them with personality. On the other hand, perhaps the position just wasn’t right for me. Maybe I need more internship experience or else stuff just won’t fall into place at all. This all goes in terms of advertising agencies of course.

I know this is only the start of rejection down this long, challenging road; however, it was my first and it hurts nonetheless. What a huge disappointment, but it probably works out for the best. Hard work and preparation doesn’t necessarily equate to the results you want. But once again, conviction is the key and going at it again is the only way to become successful. Isn’t that right? 你要相信自己的能力。

Lastly, my Southwestern training has taught me to follow this mantra:
“Think of three good things about the situation”
01. I hardcore planned and practiced for the interviewing process.
02. I get to keep looking into, perhaps, more careers abroad.
03. I haven’t really posted a long entry for a while. No longer!

04. Getting rejected has just built up more resolve for me to send out more resumes.

At the end of the day, I’m positive in my strengths, and I know that I am the best hire in any profession. Companies would be lucky to have me, so now we just need to figure out which one is smart enough to realize it first.
