Resume Madness

 

Close to three weeks since the good news of NOC.

Earlier in the week, we have submitted our resumes. For Shanghai, we are expected to write both english and chinese resumes… Duhhhhhhhhhhhh But that is a challenge with all the english to chinese translation moments.

It only means one thing: Need to brush up my chinese or what’s left of it. Can’t start or end a chinese conversation without pausing to do a live translation of the word im thinking about (in english) of course!

 

Needless to say, most of us spent the night before rushing through them to make them perfecto perfect. The ugly truth is that we are not proficient with MS office reared its ugly head. The formatting gone awry, chinese words go haywire and computers that don’t respond when you least expect it..emoticon

My email submission failed. NUS servers thought I spoofed my email using gmail accounts and had it bounced. No wonder, Angel called later in the day to ask about my submissions. She needed them in before they close shop for the day I guess. 

I havemy regrets though. I added my industry and skill preference in the resume. Bascially it means none. I should have bee more targetted in the resume. When you are sharp and focused, your results will also be so. Hope for the best I guess..  emoticon
