Hits and Misses During Jobhunting

Because I've been ill for two months due to covid, I've had to take a deep dive into jobhunting again. And one job that was offered to me was Customer Service Representative of the Insurance account of Accenture. I was taken by surprise by this because I didn't apply at Accenture this year. I thought they had forgotten about me by now. But apparently, not so. Last time I checked Accenture is now preparing me for the job interview stage.

I also got hired by Livingston Research, an academic writing company, because I passed their complicated entrance exam. But they said I have to wait for awhile since they're still trying to get enough job orders for the entire team, not just me. So I will wait for that one.

Now I have to check that guide given by my friend so that I can be ready for the Accenture interview. I guess I have to figure out what are the legitimate answers to the job interview questions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one since the compensation is very much welcome. I just hope they don't put me in the night shift or graveyard shift. It seems they want to put me in the Cubao branch, but I'll ask anyway if they're open to putting me in the Alabang branch. That would be ideal.

Now for the misses part.

I have creditors and they're getting impatient enough to demand that I pay my debts already. That's why it was so important to get the hard copies of my covid tests, so that the creditors' rep who will drop by will see that I was legitimately ill with covid. I was hoping for Ink Cinematic to give me another project but they bypassed me to give projects to the other members of the team. So I just handed in my resignation letter and left. I even deleted their Skype account. Volt and I agree that Ink Cinematic must have been lying to me about the "author" and that it was just a convoluted scam so they could get my excellent screenplay for a pittance. But the silver lining there is that I contacted Katelyn Silva who said my screenplay has potential to become a great novel. I just need to spend time daily in novel writing and pretty soon I'll be showing the novel manuscript to her again. I just need Katelyn to guide me in the publishing of my novel.
