The great journey ahead.

Gainfully Employed.

Slowly but surely. Slow and steady. Whatever the phrases may be, it all sums up to one thing. Yes, I agree that patience is a virtue. Patience is killing deep down inside. No words can summarise the hardship, mind-draining, and the tiredness of goin from one place to another. Be it by bus, trains or FITria. However, after 28 days, 672 hours, countless resumes sent, numerous calls from unknown person regarding interviews, FINALLY it is done deal. This offer is so far the best i've received and have clinched it with Starhub.

Thinking back, the time and effort i had gave seems worthwhile. Before, the usual routine after waking up and washing up is to open the papers to classifieds. Unsatisfied with the job listings posted, next up is the PC and into Jobstreet, Jobslite etc. Upteen times done till it is becoming a cycle and will have to stop it at once. The feeling of being unemployed really irrates me. Sometimes i think that it is a big great burden to be sitting at home and awaiting a kind soul asking me out. As most of them are working or studying, therefore can't hope for much.

First impression while looking for a job and as i read more jobposts, is that they need EXPERIENCE. As the phrase " salary will commensurate with experience " suggest. What am i goin to do with this? During the army, i was a driver back then and although it is for two years, my only experience is driving. But then again, i don't wanna be a driver for the rest of my life (not looking down on drivers). What i want is a stable job for now and forever and a stable income to take home with.

I told myself that whatever happens, how long it takes i will get a stable income job. Days gone, time flies, and eventually a ring from the Human Resource officer from Starhub yesterday made the difference i've been waiting for all this while. It came at 2.09pm on a Sunday afternoon right infront of ITE Bishan (as i was driving but eventually stopped to answer the call).

I just wanna share an experience or shall i say my experience of getting a job. What i've gone through is like a mini hell to me. And for those readers who had been planning for employment, although i am not a great adviser, but my advice is, keep trying and trying. Because if the job is meant to be yours, no matter how long or how many times you apply, it will sure be yours one day. Remember, patience is a virtue. And no happiness is achieved without hardship been suffered first.
