Hit Like, Get Hired (A Job Interview Selfie)

Choose a job that you love, and you will never have to work for a day in your life- Confucius

College is the perfect time to lay down your plans on where you want to see yourself after you received your diploma. I believe that it is the period wherein we write our goals with the most trust that we will accomplish them.


I plan to start looking for potential companies at the start of my senior year. My plan is to look for a company where I can learn the real thing. Compensation is not an issue for a fresh graduate like me. My ultimate goal is to earn experience.

During my senior year, I will polish my resume, and master writing letter of intents for specific companies. I will do a lot of research about a company's background and character so I will have a better chance of writing something personal for each prospect.

Also by early research of companies, I will learn about their projects, the kinds of work they do, and hopefully they are open for interns. For me, learning about the company increases my chance of scoring an interview that hopefully will lead to employment.

I will also make sure that I have something to write in my resume, so as early as now I need to be active with school activities. A month before graduation, I plan to send out my applications to the companies. By doing so, I believe they will see the my sincere eagerness to join their team. This will also show that I am dedicated to contribute something in their company's growth.

I am eyeing the following companies:

1. Google

  I would like to be a "Googler". I want to develop mobile applications or games for Google Play. Also, one of the main reasons why I want to be part of their family is that I think there is a balance between work and play. Their office is so cool and becomes instant stress reliever.




2. Samsung


When we were kids, whenever we get fascinated by a product we promise that someday we will work in their company. Since I began using a phone, I've stick to one brand- Samsung. I know how the phones work, the games, the apps. Sometimes as a user I develop ideas that can further utilize the smartphone and I would like to share it to the team by becoming their member.


3. Supercell


Supercell is a mobile game development company founded in 2010. I play one of their games, Clash of Clans, and got really hooked on it. Since high school, my friends and I are developing our games and characters. So it would be so good if I get to create a game of my own with this company.

Emmanuel "many" Dapidran Pacquiao
Manny pacquiao, a world famous boxer, a basketball team coach, a preacher, a politican. making him influential not just in his country, but also around the world.
 
he won in many fights and strived hard to attain what he is now. but what do you think about his current hobbies or business. in my opinion he should have focused more on boxing than venturing on different hobby etc. its okay to have a business or investments but doing a lot of it at the same time makes me think why. you have already establish a name why ask for more. he even changed religion and preach he's a professional boxer and that's what he should focus. not waste money on ome hobby
 
 
 

 
 

Pope Francis
(Jorge Mario Bergoglio)

Pope Francis is the current leader and head of the church and also one of the most influential persons in the world. before being a priest, he worked as a chemical technician and a bouncer. he also was the former bishop of Argentina. being kind approachable and simple, people accepted him, loved him. even some journalist said that his presence is like a brother coming home from work.

Wish #4: A Bachelor Pad



Can we pretend that air-planes in night sky are shooting stars? I could really use a wish right, wish right now. 

That's how a famous song goes, well pretending that I can make a wish out air-planes, I would wish for a bachelor pad. Why? Because it gives a sense of independence. Anything outside the comforts of your home sets the tone for some responsibility.

I know that I would not be achieving a pad in just a snap but if wishes can come true in an instant why not wish for something grand? If I'll be having my own place I will decorate it very laid back just like me. I will provide a space for my Gunpla collection and also a nice spot for my Star Wars stuff.

I'm not the party type of person so I'll be stacking on chips and sodas on the fridge. I will also have a nice television set that can be used for gaming. This place will be a fusion of comfort and independence. I will take care of it the way I take care of my body. I will be very hands on in cleaning and maintaining the place.

Maybe this would be one of my biggest and sensible investments once I get a job.

Wish list #3: The Dweller

ROLEX SKY-DWELLER
What separates a man from a boy? It's their choices. They say that swag is for boys while class is for men. If a pair of shoes can tell a lot about a person, sure the watch he/she is wearing too.

Rolex is the Rolls Royce of the watch industry, its worth is something of very special value. Allow me to put it in a colloquial reaction- a god damn Rolex, 'nuff said. Who would not want to receive this bad boy? Gorgeously wrapped around your wrist, surely time is more relevant than ever. I admire the simplicity and elegance of this watch. Simple yet you can feel the strength and power when wearing one. Definitely one of my dream watches.

This watch is not only significant for time awareness but it also serves as a reminder of what you have achieved in life in order to splurge into this one of a kind possession. This watch literally reminds you that time is gold. If success can be measured by what you wear, definitely this watch can gauge how far you've come.

This baby is on me, once the time has come where I can afford to buy it. This will be one of my investments in the future. Owning just one Rolex, is more than enough for me.

Wish list #2:The Beast Of Possibility

PG UNICORN GUNDAM

It has been said that boys do not give up playing, their toys just get bigger and more expensive. 

Being a Gunpla collector, I would not miss wishing for the recently released kit by Bandai, the PG Unicorn. This kit is owned by the main protagonist of the series Gundam Unicorn. This collector's item weights 3370g and the tallest perfect grade so far and the most complex one to build. 

A collector like me would love to add this in their collection, plus the fact that it is the latest perfect grade since 2009. This man toy would make every collector's collection a cut above the rest.

The Santa Claus that will give it me is hopefully myself, once the time comes that I'm able to purchase this. 

Wish list #1:The Red Monster

HG NEOZEONG

Growing up, I thought of Christmas as a wish granting factory and Santa Claus as a genie disguised in a red suit and white beard. But as the legend goes, we are faced with reality that he does not exist. It was as if every kids rite of passage between genuine happiness and real world awakening. 

But this reality that the man in the red suit does not exist did not stop me from wishing for what I want. The only difference now is if ever I have a secret Santa or be a Santa Claus for myself. They say that when you dream, dream big. After all the possibility of having a dream come true is what keeps us going. 

As my first wish, I would like to have an HG Neozong, a mobile suit that belongs to the main antagonist of the Unicorn Series of Gundam. This enormous high grade kit's size and weight is 82.4x44.8x35.2 cm and 8140 g, making it the tallest and the 2nd heaviest kit next to HG Deondrobium.

Since I was a kid, 4 or 5 I think, I'm already hooked with anything that has to do with building toys or kits like Lego, car model, and gundam. I just started having the opportunity and means to afford my first love/hobby just now and everything is so surreal. 

My secret Santa Claus that might give this is my girlfriend, after all she bought my first kit. She reconnected me to the thing I love the most and that is to build kits.
