Yes, it is official! I am not a student anymore and looking for a job that would fit my knowledge, prowess and ability.
One week after my graduation, I started surfing the web all-day and night searching for my target companies: IT-related corporations, and I found out that I submitted almost 30 applications thru email and jobstreet.com. I am glad that my co-blogger-friend, Rhence is finally entering the corporate world, and I want also to find a job just like her as soon as possible. *No pressure at all!*
Last Monday, I went to this particular company trying my luck that I will be able to pass all the processes they are requiring. I passed the exam, the initial interview and the technical interview. The engineer who interviewed me left me this, ‘Just wait for a call and we will tell you if you are qualified to this particular position.’
I also attended this blockbuster job fair last Wednesday and also get the same blitz of words.
This is not easy. I know what they’re keep on trying to put on our heads that finding a job is not a very easy thing to do. I treat it before as a trivial matter, but I realized that it’s not!
Why fit-in when you can standout?
I keep on processing these thoughts in my mind. What makes me stand-out? I will give them an affable smile with a pleasing personality? Sell myself to them by confidently answering and chewing their not-so-easy questions? Or to joust with everyone else, step into them, and wait for an open opportunity?
To stand-out is to be easily seen or noticed. I admit that I am not that good as others; I don’t have the experiences yet. I’m not that great in answering straightforward English questions and the result is I buckle a lot of times. My skills are in the process, I’m still studying and reading articles and tutorials as of now. Even if I’m considering myself as a novice in this new step of my life, I can say only one that I am confident about.
“I have Jesus Christ.”
In every job interviews and examinations, I know that He is always there for me. Kasama ko Siya sa lahat ng oras kaya walang dahilan para matakot at mahiya. Alam kong patuloy Niya akong sasamahan sa paglalakabay na ito hanggang marating ko ang inaasam na trabahong ipagkakaloob Niya sa akin ng may tiwala at galak.
Happy job-finding to all newly graduates out there! =)
