The months of getting paycheck to paycheck has kept me busy but most importantly has helped built my character in the real world. It's not all shine and glory but it has its moments where I'm proud of.
In the year 2018, I decided that I had to leave something behind and till this day (or any other day before this post is published), I thought to myself, 'Was that the right thing to do?'. I got a lot of support from my partner and I know that it will take some time for me to adjust back into society. I wasted no time in looking for jobs and felt that I might not be good enough when it comes to working but everyone has to start from somewhere.
I told myself that working in the sales line would be the fastest way to learn something and I set my sights on jobs that had sales in the job scope. I got a job but that was short lived as there were internal factors that hinders my progression or not being able see myself in that company that would help in my growth. As a result, I sent my resignation letter and that was the end of that chapter. I opened a new chapter when I started working in telecommunication company which was also sales and might I I add, the company provided the much needed exposure, training and work ethics that I found to be much useful even outside of work.
If there were things I would recall on how I changed after joining my current team was that I learnt to be;
1. Accountable
2. Responsible
3. Gratitude
4. Appreciative
5. Optimistic
6. Tolerable towards others which includes those that need much patience and attention
There are many others I would like to list but its at the tip of my tongue situation whereby it's there but I can't recall.
Additionally, the abundance of experiences and moments were memorable too and I realized that most graduates are not fond of looking for jobs outside of their comfort zone. Comfort zone revolves around the education they received in their respective colleges or universities. In retrospect, it shapes the person to be a soft bubble that does not recognize the meaning of desperation.
I actually am grateful with the job opportunity given because with the knowledge and skills I gained from my current workplace, it directly made me marketable. I've turned down many job opportunities after gaining said skillsets because I felt that I have not gained the leverage to properly negotiate and job hopping does not shade a beautiful color on my resume.
I suppose this is it for now and here I thought there would be more I could write (actually just pictures to add) but I can't think of any currently.
