I'm giving god one chance to prove he exists. I'm going to pray every night for this job, and if I don't get it, it means there is no god. Easy.

Anyway the guy that was "very keen" to see my CV is from SMEC, Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation, who do infrastructure stuff all over the world esp. in Asia and the Middle East. Becky's boss said to emphasise project management experience, and I told Becky that 'that will be quite hard' seeing as though I [ahem] DON'T HAVE ANY. But she said to 'stretch it' as much as I could. She's optimistic - I don't know enough about PR to turn a reception job into something that even vaguely sounds like project management!! (apart from changing 'Receptionist' to 'Client Relationship Manager'.) Oh I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

Did I do my best with my resume? What else could I have said? What if I didn't go far enough? Should I have just made stuff up? Come to think of it, I'm sure people do. I even wrote in the skills section that I have a high level of critical thinking skills because "I got a High Distinction in my Critical Review for Business Communications". Now, if that isn't going far enough, I bloody give up.

I'm praying for a miracle.

I can see the headlines:

"Arts graduate gets job in engineering firm - Stop the Press"

"Ex-checkout chick discovers the power of networking" (well acutally this was unintentional networking)

"Studying Chinese finally fucking PAYS OFF for lowly receptionist"

Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Calm down. I'm certain nothing will happen, but it's fun getting excited about it. I wish I could call the SMEC man and just talk to him. Introduce myself, have a chat, maybe offer him free sex... oh shit did I just say that out loud?  ¶ 16:33
