Today… is the day… that I finish my last degree paper!! Yes, I’m rejoicing…inside =P A bit too tired and emotionless due to the lack of sleep to actually jump for joy now. But yeah, although the paper was rather “sucky”, I’m just glad it’s finally over. Now I’m just praying that I don’t have to repeat any subjects *touch wood*.
Now, let’s move on to holidays… hehe… But, my holidays will only last for 1 month or so. 3 weeks in Malaysia and 1 week in Perth, Australia. *wootz~!!* After that, back to studying again. Yeah, as many do not know yet, I got a scholarship to study a Post Grad Diploma in Sonography a.k.a. Ultrasound. So I’ll have another 1 year of studies left before heading out into the working world. I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing. But one thing’s for sure, this scholarship better be worth it ‘cause I turned down 4 job offers in my own field for this thing!! ARGH~!!! It is still frustrating to me to turn down those offers. But in a way, I know that I’m capable of being hired. HAHA!!! =P
And… let me “enlighten” those who think that it’s all about the grades to get a job or a good job. I’m telling you, through my experience of going through job interviews and such, it doesn’t matter how good your grades are. At the end of the day, it’s your skills and applications that matter. Go to an interview with a blank head and you’ll come back empty handed as well. You can be smart on paper, but it all comes to how smart you’re going to make yourself seem during an interview. For fields such as mine, Biomedical Science, I even got a mini-test during 1 of my interview sessions. LOL… It’s all about knowing and remembering what you studied. And let me tell you the next best thing… STUDENT COUNCIL LEADERS ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER EVEN IF YOU DON’T GO BACK TO YOUR OWN FIELD OF STUDY. And that is the truth.
So, all the best to those who are out searching for jobs and going for interview. Please remember to bring along some “INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS” skills with you.
And that almost about wraps up my 3 years of Biomedical Science degree =)
