I doubt anyone is still reading my blog, but I thought maybe I could pen down some of my thoughts on graduation.

Upon receiving my results in August, I could say I felt a sense of relieve even though I didn't do very well.
Barely made it with a Third Class Honours but hey, at least I graduated right?
Was so worried during all my overseas trips (Sydney, Genting, Taiwan) that I didn't enjoy myself 100%.
Nonetheless, I thought to myself at that point of time: "Yes, time to get a stable job and start my next phase of life".
Well, at least I thought that was how it was going to be.

However, almost 2 months down, and I'm still an unemployed.
I never expected finding a job to be so hard.
But it's only until now that I realised, having a Degree doesn't really mean a lot.
What most companies want? - Experience.

I tried to get a job in the HR field, but despite lowering my expected salary to $2k and sending out 40 over resumes, no company wants to take in a fresh graduate with no experience in that field, because no one is willing to teach.
In this case, I just find it a little demoralising because I want to learn, but no one is willing to give me a chance.

That said, I'm now still trying my best to get a job.
One that suits me.

I also hope that I can stop being so impulsive.

As some friends might have known, I signed a contract recently and went into to a shipping company as a customer service officer, thinking that I can finally learn something.
Pay & location were great but, it didn't turn out well.

Thing is, I felt that the lady who was leaving the company in 2 weeks (also the one whom I'd be replacing), she didn't have a systematic way to teach me and I was so stressed out that I broke down on the 3rd day and decided to leave the company.
I mean, how was I going to learn from someone who can't teach and replace her in 2 weeks when I have no experience myself while she has had 6 years of experience?

In the end, I was not paid for the 3 days that I worked there.
Not complaining here, just saying this to remind myself to think through before signing a contract the next time and not be so rash in making decisions.

I admit that I accepted the job on impulse because I just wanted a job, I wanted money.
But, to accept a job that's not suitable, that I don't really enjoy doing, it's really tough.

So, I'm going to take it as an experience.
At least now I know I don't really enjoy working in the shipping line. :p

Currently, still praying that I can get a job fast.
Been idle for so long sigh.

Alright, till the next.
