Life ramblings
It's been a long time since I have posted here in Livejournal.
It's been almost a year since I started working in a multinational company. Looking back at it a year ago, I never expected I'd get in. I really have low self confidence when it comes to the real deal like interviews. I am really happy with my workplace. My direct manager is very nice. My teammates are the best team I have ever had, and my colleagues are easy to get along with. Though there was a period that I had to work overtime everyday and there was a moment I really wanted to quit, I'm glad I pushed through it.
The reality of working versus the time when I was a student is really different. I actually prefer working than being a student. After all, you don't get paid when you are a student, not to mention homeworks and exams. Well, I'm not saying that working is very easy. After all, I graduated without really knowing what I want to do with my life. Even now, I am still in the process of finding myself...
I would really like to commend those people who have already made up their mind in what they want to do. I will still try to find the one profession that I would excel and be fully satsfied in but for now, I'll enjoy the moments that I currently have.
For those who are looking for jobs and find it difficult to express themselves in interviews, just a friendly tip. Don't be too hard on yourself. I was over-marketing myself to companies which made me lose some confidence in myself on whether I really can do it or not. Don't be like me. Just be true to them. And one important thing is that you should let them know that you are very interested and that you are going to stay with them for the long term. I learned that after working with my current company.
