When I submitted my resignation letter to my employer, I said it’s because I’m going back to be a full-time student and when he asked if I am transferring to another work, I said no. I lied. Well, technically I didn’t because I did not intend to work in another company while studying but an opportunity came and I said “why not?”
Dell has established a call center a few blocks away from our home and I just thought it’ll be cool to work near. Hold on, there are two things totally wrong in that sentence and I just have to clarify.
I use and praise the Mac, Dell is like the anti-christ for us. Why am I going to work for them? It’s nothing personal, really, I just love the location and it’s extra convenient. Plus, a reputable company listed in your resume won’t hurt. I applied for a Technical Support position and if something weird is happening a customer’s PC, I could just say “Sir, the easiest way to solve your problem is getting a Mac. Have you heard of the new intel-powered Mac Mini? It’s really nice.” I’m kidding, of course I wouldn’t sabotage my job like that! Unless I want to. (People from Dell who might have found this website by mistake, I’m really just kidding. Really. Please hire me? I love Michael Dell! Steve Jobs who?).
The second thing that gone wrong is from a programmer to a Technical Support Representative? Am I out of my mind? A bit, I think. I got bored staring at codes all day and waiting for my brain to explode while thinking of a solution to a problem only to find out that I just missed a semi-colon. Frustrating? Hell yeah! Talking to people and help them solve their problems might be interesting. Plus, it might be not be that brain-exhausting as I will be studying in the morning.
Arguments out of the way, I am now proud to say that I made it through the third round which is the final interview having done the phone interview and exam. I am not taking things seriously as of this point since it’ll be totally fine even if I didn’t get accepted. There’s always my parents money. Yeah, I’m spoiled. Adult for males is 21 right? I’m not there yet.
And oh, I promised myself I’m not gonna use my credit card anymore but my ipod earphones broke yet again so I got this…

iPod Radio Remote! Now, I can listen to Chico and Delamar and Jam 88.3 again! Awesome!
