Rumblings of.....Job huntt.....
My job hunt is still rather fruitless.... after all the applications..gone thru like 5 interviews...still nothing... And now..the recession is here... Things are all gloomy...dark.... unknown....
Im still surviving... well.. on my savings.... Only output..no input... Perhaps everyone gona worry that i will starve to death.. yesh... i do worry that i will starve to death.. but not soo soon... Im now managing my finances tightly...
My route of job hunting... im faced with decisions.... Its like..looking at the job scope..the terms n conditions (refers to location, working hours, pay...)... Ive to decide further on whether im ok with it or not...
Finding a job is like finding a partner or boyfriend to me.... There is like a certain percentage of uncertainty up ahead.... And u are deciding whether to put in time n effort into it..... Its like finding a partner...
U have to love the "bf" (note: this refers to JOB) .. FIRST before you step into the relationship... U are aware that u are gona be with this "bf" for some time... (Well..if its a great relaitonship...u will think of staying longer..maybe forever... BUT..if its a toxis relaitonship... u might wanna leave within a month)....Before you accept your "bf" .. u must be happy with the little things.. like the location, got OT or nots.. Its the same when it comes to a real life bf...
u must be ok about that guy's habits, behaviour... For example, u have to accept that he has a pot belly.. or perhaps u have to accept that he smokes... JUst examples....Becos..little unhappiness can add up to a huge amount of unhappiness and resent in future.. of course..if its a real life bf..such things still have room for talks.. More flexible... if its a job.. its hard for u to negotiate on the location UNLESS hte coy has branches all over SG...
Sometimes the "bf" might let u down in some ways.. its like..before u enter the relationship ( refers to penning down ur signation on the employment contract) ... "bf" might have promised u some things.... like u will get pay increment after 3 months... or something like boyfren will buy u a diamond ring on the 6th month of being together.... Then after entering the relationship..u realised that somet hings seem to be very different from before entering the relationship..
Boyfriends might sweet talk u. into a relationship..and then when u are in a relationship..u realised tat...the boyfrend not as sweet talking as before..not as accomodating as before... Same goes for hte job... its like.. they promise to give u this condition....after u agreed on the job... things took a change just before u pen down ur signation.. Argh.. its like total letdown feeling..and it suckx.
While u are deciding whether u wanna enter the relationship with "bf"..... They , on the other hand, are also thinking of whether they should "invest" in you... Its like a two way thingy.... "BF" might have other choices to choose from.. U have to accept that u are not hte only candidate seeking for this particular job....JOb market is like an OPEN market, u see.... There are competitors... U have the right to choose.. U might have other options for you besides sticking on to this particular "bf"...... well...they also have the right to choose you as well...
Same goes to a real life relationship.... u are thinking whether to be together with him.. he could be thinking on whether to really jump into the relationship with you.. On the other hand.. there is still possibiliities that he has other choices besides you... while u, at the same time, have got other suitors waiting in the queue...
Sometimes if u make the "bf" wait too long..they might just decide to back off... u know.. while u are confused and deciding whether to accept or reject the job offer.. u do take some time, rite? UNLESS you are tat super good that they "bf" really cherish u and die oso must have you.......But in reality...u must know that no one waits forever... especially for a job.. they might have other candidates..if u take too long..u miss the chance... The same goes to real life boyfriend finding.. let the guy wait toooo long..he might eventually give up.. UNLESS he is willing to wait till the end of time whether or not u will choose him...
And for practical purposes... if theres a job offer to me that i feel ok with..i will just take..even tho its a much lower pay...
Damn.. grad at the wrong time... i regretted turning dwn tat 6mnths temp 2 months ago... if i know times gona be this bad.. i would have taken it.. zzzzz......
