Going to the company I talked about previously to have a theoretical and practical exam was quite a challenge. I didn't get enough sleep and it took around an hour just for the shuttle to arrive in the terminal. I should have taken the jeep but the lines were also long and I already paid. It's a good thing that the building was not hard to find as it was right behind a well-known building. I arrived just in time for my 9:30 appointment

The office looked good. Though it was just plain, rows of booths with their own computers and everyone sitting beside each other separate rooms on the side and no other decorations aside from their bulletin board and the small sofa for the guests, it still looked clean and better than the two companies I've worked for. There were a lot of people working and the atmosphere around the office was very serious and you would barely hear them talk. Just the sound of the aircon and their whispers fill the air. Only those who look like the boss/managers were talking in a loud tone.

There were other applicants that time and I even got to talk with someone who was there to have her initial interview. I got to ask her several questions and found out I was only there to have my exam and if I pass, they'll e-mail me to schedule my 1st face-to-face interview. I was relieved since I wasn't ready yet. I wanted to ask her more but I was called to start the exam right after.

The first part was just a simple 45-item multiple choice exam to test my grammar. I finished it quite early at around 10 am. The next part was to write a 750-word article about laptops,smartphones and iPads. I was a little worried since I was not allowed to use the net but I was able to finish it and even exceed the word count. I just hope the article was used to check my grammar again because my article was so random and didn't exactly have any story. The last part was quite easy since I just had to fill-up a form asking for personal information but it was a very long questionnaire and looked like a booklet which took most of my time. I made a mistake of not bringing some of my work-related documents as I could not remember some basic info like my SSS number or the telephone numbers of my previous companies. But since I was starting to consider not pushing through my application even if I pass, I did not spend much time pondering on it and tried to answer all the questions honestly.I was rushing by the end because it was already past lunchtime and I have not eaten yet. They did not ask me to take a break. I noticed several other applicants arriving as well. I finished exactly by 1pm and as expected, told me that they would contact me for the results. I headed back to the mall to have my lunch and go to the gym. It was a very tiring day and I do hope I pass even if I might not actually take the position.
