Timing in getting a work is everything. Many people think that since the application time is set between 8am to 4pm they can just rush into the application by 3pm and expect to get hired.

I made this mistake during my early years in job applications. I tried to apply for a teaching appointment in one of the girls school. I arrive at 3pm and by 4pm I got my letter from the HR personnel. It says, although your qualification is impressive, we regret to inform you that our need at present is for a PHILOSOPHY TEACHER.

“Darn! I am a qualified PHILOSOPHY TEACHER!,” I said to myself. I graduated with honors in my Bachelor in Philosophy and my MASTERS is in Philosophy.  But looking at the timing, it was already time for going home.  The person who handed me the letter was already all made up… ready for window shopping or for a movie date.

It was my mistake. Looking back, I realized that I did not bother to check that it was the 15th of the Month. The very day for our one day millionaires.
