look before you leap, dummy.
i can't believe how screwed up i am!!
all along, i'd thought that the closing date for application for usp was 2nd april. so when i scrolled down the page and saw that the date was something other than a 2 something, i immediately panicked and did up my key qualities, leadership positions, achievements and cca write-ups in all of three minutes. after i pressed "submit"...
"the closing date for submission is Monday, 6 April 2009."
i could have whacked my head against the table about a thousand times then and there. now my key qualities is a short, shoddy write-up, my leadership positions and achievements are pretty much blank and lack substance, plus the cca documents i had to attach were... okay i think at least that part is alright. but still...
i'm forever going to regret mistaking the deadline for submission, because i'm going to keep on thinking over what i could have refined in my application to improve my chances of being shortlisted. unless of course, i do get shortlisted by some miracle or another.
oh please let happy endings happen.
and now that most of the things i wanted to apply for are either closed or already applied for, i think i'm finally breathing easier. until i remind myself that i still have to wait for the acceptance letters and for me to (hopefully!) get shortlisted for interviews.
today, a very nice guy bought close to $600 worth of lab series products from me. even though he was decked out in LV from top to toe and probably could afford to buy over the entire shop, i felt so horrible for his spending so much i couldn't bear to push any products any longer. seriously, he trusted my words so much when i didn't even know if what i was saying was true or not. and this isn't the first time he's spent so much either; i served him in my first week of working and he bought $400 worth of lab series products that time. his lavishness is almost beyond belief. all i said was "sir, we also have instant moisture masks available, would you like to try them?" and he bought not one, but two boxes of the masks when all i'd intended for him to get was one sheet that cost $13.90. each box costs $65.70 by the way.
... this is why i'm a bad sales promoter.
