What’s up lately in my life? Blogging has very much been taking a back seat to job hunting, which is my overriding priority for the time being anyway. And I have to prioritize what’ important, whatsoever.

     At the beginning of the job hunting process, I did feel a bit frustrated. Well, I did have to undergo a lot more than the ordinaries. On top of the pressure emanating from finding an ideal job, there was more to go through, which was about the emotional pain. I constantly put myself into trouble. Then, normal was that I, more often ever, felt gloomy and confused. At the end, however, I grew stronger and wiser. I was able to bounce very well between personal life and business, and to get focused on priorities. It was a long journey of growth.

Talking about the unprecedented array of challenges I encountered in the course, I came a long way before I finally was enlightened. Currently and more than ever, I was so much more positive and hopeful. I understood competition was a way of life and I rose to challenges. I didn't fear difficulties, as I believed there was a way so long as I was alive. I was fearless, and the only thing I was fearful of is that I lost the ability to solve problems. I was tough enough to cope with the problems, however grave they were. Being soft in the business world was not my trait when I stepped up with a twisted ankle. I was in pain and had to limp on one leg, after a few days' treatment though, and I was strong-minded enough to go to the recruiting seminars. Nothing could hold me back seriously.

Previously, I was thinking it would be a bit hard to edge out candidates from top universities like Sun Yat-sen University. They said to be so much stronger and more capable, leaving us far behind to catch up with. However, I understood I should just bear in mind that in the competitive field of job finding, everyone was competing on an equal footing, and that there was no reason to keep that angst in mind others had a clear advantage over us. The thing was, no matter what, we should have confidence in ourselves and always believe that we could not only be as excellent as them, but better in our performance. They might be a shining star, but, we could be their nearest challenges. And it was the judges’ ultimate decision as who was the best fit. So, drop the ill mentality of inferiority complex, carry on and no worries.

   As to the interview I mentioned, it was not immediately clear who won the challenge. And the result would be unveiled sooner or later. Let me believe I had all it took to get the job well done. I would be patiently waiting on the judges’ ultimate decision while hanging in and trying my luck on other companies.

   Well, all the best to myself and good luck to those in the same boat.
