The Challenge Begins

After almost 1 week of resigning from my position, I am now back to zero, to a stage where you will need to find a job you want, impress your interviewers and nail it. I hope It is as easy as like that.

From the time I resigned, I was only interviewed once but i did receive calls though. God, my heart is pounding every minute, afraid not to find a job in a month. If I can't find a job, I will be forced to get out of this country, I hope not. In a way, this is my second home. I am comfortable here, I have friends and I really love the environment.

Now I am trying to study Windows Servers, trying to learn new things, new technologies. I wanted to pursue being an IT Professional. I wanted to become one of the best if not great in the future. I have plans, great plans ahaead but if I can't find a job that will slowly fall apart.

I am really trying, hoping and praying that I can get a job sooner.

Oh Lord, please help overcome the challenges and trials I am facing everyday. Give me strength and wisdom and show me the path to the right way.

Risky Move

This is my first blog since college and I hope that I am still fit to write and blog...

4 months after my college graduation, year 2008 I came here in Singapore from Philippines to try my luck and look for a job. I was so desperate to look for a job and the recession period even made it harder to find a suitable job. It was Nov 2008 when an opportunity arrived on my door; since I was so desperate I grabbed it.

From 2008 till now, I am still serving the company as BB Support but now I realized that there's no career growth, nothing new things to learn. I am stuck to what I'm doing and will be stuck forever if i do not decide to quit. 2 months ago, I’ve been thinking things over. I can't just quit my job without finding a new job. I thought it will be easy to find even with 2 months’ notice period for resignation, well, I guess I am wrong... That's why I finally decided to quit and apply for job while serving my 2 months’ notice period..

My 2 months is left with 2 weeks now and I still haven't found a job... I'm starting to be anxious.... Will I ever find a job in just 2 weeks’ time? Will I ever find a job that I really really like?

Every night, I make sure that I am submitting at least 10 applications. I am happy that at least some of them responds and calls me. I hope I'll get to be interviewed soon.

I know that what I did is a risk... Quitting a job without finding a new job but then I know that's the only way I can get out. I have faith in God, I am sure He will never leave my side. He will help me to find what I really wanted. It's just a matter of doing my BEST and HE will do the rest.

Life is hard, but God is good—all the time.
