And as usual, my instincts are wrong.
I was originally planning to drop the employer an email to ask for the status of my job interview on the 1st of June. Then I was swamped with work and completely forgot to follow up on it. The following Monday, I received the call, I pass the 2nd interview and I will be moving on to the 3rd interview which will be on this coming Wednesday. A panel interview with 3 interviewers and one of them is the HR Director. I'm a tad surprised that the HR Director will be joining considering that the position is not even a middle management role.
I'm slightly nervous and excited about the prospect of working at this new sector.
On to another note, counting down to my holiday in 3 months' time. Time to start planning properly for my solo trip. Paid for the tickets, booked the hotels, now it's time to plan and book all the activities.

Updated on 14th Jun -
I think the interview went well. There were 3 interviewers - apparently, it wasn't with the HR Director. It was with a Deputy Director and 2 Assistant Directors. Surprisingly, I did not feel as nervous as I expected myself to be. I was able to describe and explain my current role accordingly albeit with a touch of embellishment. I felt that I was engaging with them throughout the interview, though at times, my mind went blank as I kept looking for the English words for certain things. I was able to make them laugh a few times, making the interview more relax. I was able to clarify things about the job with them, along with informing them of my strengths. And they told me that they will get back to me in 2-3 weeks time, so that will be around 1st week of July. My instinct is telling me that I got the job but you never know.
So July is going to be a big month for me, I guess. I will find out if I get the HBD BTO that I applied for. I will find out if I get this job. I will find out how much is my mid-year bonus. Let's hope all 3 will be good news for me.
In Shaa' Allah, everything will be fine.
