I went to Market! Market! for a job interview for a technical writer position. During the interview I was only asked one question — describe myself. I then proceeded to tell him that I am a vegetarian and that I’ve always had a passion for writing. There was actually a follow up question about why Library Science? I then proceeded to tell him that my parents did not want me to pursue writing as a career and then my story moved into how I got the biggest break in writing. After that, the Canadian who interviewed me described the nature of the job and then asked if I have any question. Then he escorted me out. I found out there are only two of us shortlisted for the position, and that the guy would make up his mind in about two weeks on who would become his personal technical writer.

Wow. That interview went fast. So fast that I feel bewildered right now. Did I do something wrong? Was I overbearing or did I come across too strong? What? It can’t be that fast. Or perhaps the human resources people really sifted thru all the different applications and decided that there are only two people who are qualified to be in the position.

Whatever the case may be, I then got  a text message from a school that I was applying for. They informed me that there’s a possible part time writing job for me there. I have yet to ascertain the details of the job. Furthermore, I have yet to determine what I am going to do as well about it.

If you ask me, I am really much more interested in the technical writer position of the call center because it offers the most challenge for me and also offers enough independence to work on my own. And that’s something that I want in a job as well. Besides, it’s still a daytime job and I still want a daytime job, as oppose to a graveyard shift work. It has a graveyard shift component but then it isn’t a regular thing.

So there you have it. I have two weeks to think about one job and two weeks to wait for another. Patience is a virtue that I need to practice right now. Waiting on God is another thing as well. Whatever happens, I do hope that I would be making the best decision in my career.
