Finding a job isn't always easy...
Yesterday I thought I was being recruited to work as an agent for the Israeli Mossad. After a short interview on the phone with someone who identified himself as “Y” I was summoned to a personal interview, still not knowing where I’m headed to. After preparing my self all day that I would swear I would not break if I were taken prisoner, once walking through the door I realized I was actually being interviewed for an Israeli internet company (I would tell you the name of it but since there is a slim chance that someone might actually read this blog I will have to respect their wish and not mention it. Yet).
To make a long story short, I was asked to open 2 blogs and write about my hobbies and a political event which is exactly what I did but in a very laconic manner which wouldn’t interest a living soul. When I got home it suddenly dawned on me that they were actually trying to see whether I can write or not. Well da! Opppsss…. Silly me.
After accepting the fact that I was not going to be a Mossad agent I realized this was a job I actually wanted, I called them up and was given a second chance to try again. So here I am writing about my hobbies
To those of you who got this far, you may wonder what this has anything to do with my hobbies, well I’m getting there!. I could have told you how much I love to read and play the piano, how much I love the beach and the sun, the gym, good food (a good medium done steak always spreads a content smile on my face), drawing and designing jewelry, meeting my friends, hanging out with my nephews and nieces and how I’ve been saying for years how much I want to learn how to salsa dance but for some reason have never gotten around to it. I could have told you all this But one of my greatest hobbies which I’ve recently discovered (recently being a few years) is actually writing. Which is exactly what I’m doing at this very moment. Trying to keep myself sane by organizing on paper (well not really paper – the last time I remember actually using a pen and paper was for writing a shopping list – thank god for computers!) the millions of words that run through my head every second of the day and drive me a little mad and maybe, just maybe, try and make someone (besides myself that is…) smile :)
Wish me luck!
