Why I'm so stressed
I've been applying for many jobs. Graduate programs in engineering to be exact.
It's tiring. Believe me. Each application with a unique cover letter saying why and how much you would LOVE to work in their company and how GOOD you are.
Most of them are online applications. So upload your attachments, and answer some "free text" questions they call it, where they test your experience in different situations.
One application said to set aside 30 minutes to complete the online form, but believe me, I took way more than 30 minutes. On average, I take about 2 hour to complete ONE application (cover letter + company background). Sometimes I take 3, with multiple breaks in between.. Reading the questions they ask for and thinking of the answers you're going to type is enough to make you faint. Especially when you see the same style of questions, at least once a day, almost EVERYDAY, for the past 2-3 weeks..
I wonder how other students do it while studying.. It seriously helps when they allow you to register first, and give you time to log back on to complete the application. Some are not so user friendly and only allows you to complete it in one go.
I currently feel like I'm going to die...
So tired. So tired. So tired.
Imagine seeing this..

Instantly fainted.
I dont know whether to laugh or to cry when they say in brackets, "1-2 page response is essential"...
Maybe I should laugh then cry. Hahaha... >_<"
Lucky me, I checked few days before the closing date. Otherwise, I can really cross out this company in my list. And now, I'm thinking how am I going to write a 1-2 page essay.. Havent written any essays in a very long time. Especially when that essay does not involve data or graphs, or something I could make use of my analytical vocabulary and sentence-making skills. LoL
It's going to be a very long 1-2 page essay..
*shudders*
Job hunting in oz is hard and tiring. I can only hope the job pays off in the end. I want high salary!! :P Hahaha
