Light at the end of the fibre optic cable

I finally got an interview with Actrix Networks, an ISP down in Wellington.My uncle came by my new home to pick me up, now I am in Te Awamutu, a small town close to Hamilton.I love the change in scenery, the concrete cityscape I am used to seeing has been replaced with beautiful hillsides and valleys....this is Waikato District! The place is full of farm land with most of New Zealand's farmers residing in the region and mostly sheep and dairy...I love the smell of green.....I am flying to Wellington from Auckland airport so I have to get up early tomorrow.

I received a message from the manager of operations in Actrix stating that attending the interview may not mean that I will get the job but I still wish to try anyway.

I am going with a positive attitude and a supersmile :D lol hoping to bring some personality to this helpdesk position and put some cash in my pocket too....I have a passion for people and computers and I just hope that those qualities will shine through tomorrow.

Thanks to all my friends and family for their support and of cos I thank God for blessing me with all my talents :)

I took a few pics on my phone today....enjoy :)

I saw this beautiful rainbow.....hadn't seen one since the one on the train...I'm sure its on a previous post.

The neighbors down the road.....they don't take time to stop and see the colors....
I loved the fact that I could still see the sun shining through the clouds...unfortunately I can't take better pics coz I sold my digital camera.
This was taken at a Vet Clinic or something like that....for animals and pets...pet shop I think...

GODZILLA IS ALIVE!!! RUNNNNNN! LOL

"A glimmer of hope!" :)

I got an email yesterday from G who owns Tech Voice Data,about with a reference from L (the Canadian) that I was involved with briefly...she had recommended me to him and he wants to meet me for some business,possibly contract work.This could be my BIG BREAK! but I still want to find something to support myself while I wait for the 15th February meeting date....I am excited but not without a hint of pessimism-I don't think contract work will fly with immigration people. The requirements for anyone expressing interest in residing in New Zealand (at least in my case as a skilled migrant) is that I find suitable employment relevant to my field of study. I want to apply but I don't want the uncertainty of not knowing if I qualify. I can only keep trying so in the past few days I applied to about 9 IT related jobs within Auckland but I only got one reply today :

"We have received your job application for Technical Support / Office Administrator and thank you for your interest in this opportunity.

Your details have been assessed and unfortunately your application does not meet our position requirements.

We thank you for forwarding your details and wish you all the best in your job hunt."

I would appreciate some specific reasons why I do not meet the "requirements" but unfortunately most emails I get don't mention anything except for one which had an online form that I filled in a rush because I was on a public computer and did not have enough time to check.Read it below :

"Although your skill set closely matched what we were looking for,
grammatical errors in your application showed us that your written
English is not up to the level that we need for this customer facing
role."

Now,I don't know if anyone has noticed that I'm not perfect or not...I do make mistakes and admittedly,I acknowledge that I was at fault for not checking "grammatical errors" that may have been present.This one seems to have eluded me :(

Well,I'm not one who gives up so easily...like that darn energizer bunny.....I'll keep on keeping on until something gives. Thanks to all my family and friends for the support and to Kezia.

I am living in a different "undisclosed location" temporarily and hopefully I will be able to work at the local supermarket or whatever. I am still pretty "plus plus" ++ about everything....so hope my enthusiasm and positivity doesn't run out.
