I currently have two jobs.
And I still have job interviews from left and right. Gee.
I'm surprised that someone gives a damn and reads my resume rather than placing it in the shredding machine. I'm surprised that my resume is actually impressive enough for them to invite me for an interview. I'm surprised that I don't need someone from the inside to hand my resume for me and 'back me up'.
I'm being hired for my skills. For what I can do. For my qualifications. It feels amazing because for once, this was all about me and what I can offer, not because I'm the daughter or relative of whoever. It feels good to finally have various job opportunities that I can deliberately choose from. I no longer have to accept a job just because it's the one and only job offer I will ever have.
Thank you, Lord, for this birthday present.
I will still change my career but I'm grateful nonetheless.
P.S. I accept monetary donations for my fashion school fees. Charot! Hahaha!
