I’ve spent over a week sending
out resumes to prospective companies in the hopes of getting a job here in SG.
Out of the almost fifty CVs out, I only got eight acknowledgements and zero
invitation for an interview. I know that it really will take some time to get a
job in my field of expertise as it is a very competitive market and the
screening process is stricter than that of what I was used to.
Patience is a skill that I’ve
thankfully learned through the years but worrying and waiting still takes its
toll. I check my email every five minutes and stare at my mobile phone, waiting
for it to ring or get a message. I’ve finished all the work my previous company
asked me to complete since my replacement got dismissed, so I’m back to sending
more applications and waiting for responses.
The plans I’ve drawn out before
we left the PH in currently a work in progress. My parents always remind me to
take baby steps as I can’t expect things to come to us in an instant and I am
fully accepting of that fact. They are only concern because I’ve been non-stop
since we got here. I always say that I’m in no hurry; it’s just that I don’t
want to stand still and wait for my world to change as time passes me by. I
refuse to go back to feeling helpless. So I do as much as I possibly can with
things I have control over, for the rest I’d have to wait. As I’ve said before,
patience is not a virtue, it’s a skill. And so another round of waiting
begins..
