too late

*click image to enlarge*

Ha. This email came 6 months too late! I know I started out my job hunting roughly in January, and it had been a major distraction in my studies. When I replied to the job ad for this company, I was really hoping for them to want me back. I'd often checked my email to see if they'd already contacted me. But no. After months of waiting, I thought my application had plunged to the abyss and resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably never hear from them again.

I emailed them back and told them I've already been hired by another company working on the same project. (I got the job last March).

And most probably, the others on the mailing list have landed themselves jobs in other companies too. Most of the people I know in my cohort (at least those who attend the lectures), are already working now, or waiting for the employment pass to get approved so they could start work (like me). I don't think it was a smart move for this company to start the recruitment process only after graduation, when their rival companies have already been actively hiring since February (during the job fair in NUS) or even before that. And of course, final year students would want to secure a job as soon as possible, even if they plan to maybe travel first, because they usually have the option to defer the start work date.

Well, all the best in their recruitment process.
