"Dear Ms Wu,

We will be holding the interviews in the fourth week of March in Singapore. Once the dates and venue have been finalized, we will inform you as soon as possible.

Thank you very much once again for your interest and we look forward to seeing you in Singapore.

Best regards"

received this in my mailbox, juz 3 hours after i sent out my cover letter and resume.

this is a school in Japan which comprises mainly of Singaporean teachers. saw its ad on the NUS dept of jap studies website.

i'm jumping for joy now, altho this email probably means nothing much. maybe every applicant receive the same reply since this recruitment is so small-scale. but i'm still glad for the opportunity. V(^o^)V

now to prepare my documents to be sent to Japan. next to practise how to present myself well during interview. <-- v v impt!

wish mi luck!!!
