In the not so distant past, I applied for this job position called "Reports Analyst" when I moved to the urban part of my island. That was when COVID-19 was quite new and I had a feeling that it was going to take over the world. And oh boy, never did I wish for this premonition to come true. Humanity is still here.
Anyway, I felt like this was the type of job perfectly suitable for me. You know, sitting in front of the screen all day, crunching numbers, and avoiding eye contact as much as possible. I didn't even know what happened to this job application. And just a few days ago, I received a call from HR. I was told that they hired someone else internally (it means someone already working in the office if my grammar is right). I was like okay then, I've already forgotten about this job that I couldn't care less.
It turned out, they called not just to give me the bad news and tell why they left me hanging. I thought they could redeem their unprofessionalism by letting me know the status of my application months after. Okay no big deal, "they were just busy" I know. HR is just like that and I am just one of the many.
Like I said, I have totally forgotten about this job application. I took another job offer from this real estate company. Which in the end, didn't work out as well. And you probably know why - it's them, not me of course. Because people are people, as always.
And so HR called to tell me that there is another opening for a job position that I might be greatly interested in, and that is Quality Supervisor. Hmm, not sure if I am greatly interested in managing people given that I don't have people skills. I think I strongly pointed that out in my blog. I can be the boss of my own life but being other people's boss is not really my strongest point.
Okay here I go again, I am just being negative again. To be quite honest, I am just feeling anxious. See, this one is different, it's for a supervisory role. It's a big responsibility. My heart still says Reports Analyst but the HR told me that they have no updates as to when this position will be open again.
I had been a QA and Reports Analyst for years in my previous life. In case you guys are wondering, this is not just a random HR call lol. And I don't smell desperation.
Speaking of which, HR called me again just now. I think they really need me. Someone like me, ha!
Opportunity comes knocking at my door, and not only once but thrice. I answered the phone and said yes, I will be ready for the interview later. I will have an interview with the QA director but it'll just be over the phone though.
So, I finally agreed to pursue my application for the QA supervisor.
Oh my Gawd, can you just imagine me being a supervisor? A spiritual boss lady (ha ha just kidding). I will teach my team to be spiritual and all diabolicness (is this a word?).
Okay at this moment, I will focus on passing this interview so wish me luck here. Overthinking wouldn't help at this point. And if I pass and it turns out that the job is stressing the life out of me, I always, always have all the freedom in the world to just quit. It is not as if I am trapped in something forever. I mean, I will take this as just one of my adventures. In this journey called life.
Life.
You guys know what I really want to do now and forever, and that is to travel and guide people in our beautiful places. My travel agency. But due to this crazy pandemic taking over the world as we know it, the life that I want has been paused for an unknown amount of time. And what I need to do now is make the most of the life that is being offered to me right now. And live it.
Live.
Who knows what's in store for me this time? Something writable. Another story, another adventure for you. You guys.
QA supervisor can be a good job at least for the time being - and that is if I pass. Because life gets in the way. I figure I need a bottle of red, a new phone, and endless food for my new kitty. Having a proper job will afford me these things. This life.
So, what do you think guys? Should I pass this interview? And, should I take this job if given the chance?
Tips for the interview would be nice!
And in case I get the job, don't worry guys, I will still be here blogging for y'all. Promise.
