wanting but not wanting
I'm talking to myself about Google. Again.
It's just that Aileen's twitter keeps bugging me. (It isn't meant to bug anyone, of course.) It keeps saying "Wanted still: localisation editor". Not all the time, but it pops up every now and then.
I bet you don't see what's so wrong about that Twitter status. You know why? That's because there IS nothing wrong with that Twitter status. So why is it bugging me?
Easy.
'Coz I want the job.
But then I don't.
Harhar. Talk about indecision. I heard about that job opening when Aileen posted it in GPhilippines on... April... I think. And I've been mulling it over every once in a while since then.
Ever since I fell in love with Google —umm...yeah. I'm a Googlephile, if you haven't noticed yet from my recent posts— I've been wondering what it'd be like to work there. It sounds super awesome, and...
Well, come on. It's Google!!!
Plus, given the fact that I'm pretty obsessed with translation (as most of you have seen from my previous rant, lost in translation), I guess you could say it'd be a good job for me if I get hired.
That is, IF I apply at all.
I probably won't because
(1) I don't meet the requirements [namely the first],
(2) my passport is expired,
(3) I like my present job [Okay, so it's not as cool as working Google, but I like it, anyway], and
(4) there is no number 4.
Oh, wait, there is! Number 4: I'm making way too many excuses, it makes me wonder if I actually do want the job or not.
Riiiiiiiight.
I guess I just have this occasional tendency to box my "dreams" or über-cool things to be... well... to be precisely that: dreams and über-cool things that I can't reach. Most times I actually muster my guts and dive into the unknown (like I did when I applied for my current job), but sometimes the nervousness bug bites me. And so I limit myself. Because of that, I end up not getting that über-cool thing, like I chalked it up.
Sucks.
Ah, well.
In case you would like the job, and have more guts than I do, then, by all means, click the link at the top of this post, and try your luck. ^^

(2) this is not an excuse...
(3) you like your current job, but it's google!! XD

i think it's worth a try.. It doesn't automatically mean that you're already turning your back to your current job.. it's just... testing the waters :D

Hey, you never know unless you try, right? ;)
c'mon, as you say, it's GOOGLE! It's your dream company. If you pass on this opportunity now, you'll keep be kicking yourself and regretting this for the rest of your life. There's no harm in trying naman, di ba? :)
