But from a potential employee point of view. It sucks. There would be a lot of potential employers reading your resume but there would be no response from them (just like in this Blog) apart from some sympathetic, automatic email from Jobstreet, stating, on their behalf of the companies you have applied for, that the position is now closed yada yada yada.
It really makes you feel unwanted, as if confirming your position as some low-life pariah in the society.
But the funny thing was, within a day after my 'outburst' on Facebook, I had a minimum of three potential leads for a job from my friends. Three jobs. Yes, three actual jobs and they're all 100%, ready to confirm, ready to start jobs. That is the power of friendship and social media.
And also, in the meantime, I had a temp job from one of my good friend and classmate, Raja Azhar. Its a 5-day week job until the end of the month. Its a win-win situation because not only do I help him, he also teaches me the ways of garnering awareness and also, how to start online businesses.

| The good thing is, on some occasions, I get to walk over to meet up with Bruce for lunch via the KLCC walk. I cannot remember how long the stretch was but when I brisk walk, it took me about 15 to 20 minutes. |

| Woo hoo! My first cheque! I am rich again! Now I can buy all the tin food I could not have for dinner! |
