FINDING THE ONE

musings of a job hunter

Job market isn't looking too ideal this year, especially in the year-end where little hiring takes place (and people are kinda in the holiday mood already). In this season of my life - job hunting phrase, I guess God wants me to be patient and to rely on him instead of myself, which includes whatever's written on my resume or how I fared during the interview. Not being proud or whatsoever but to be honest, if I were an employer, I would think my resume and what I can offer does stand out from other applicants. However, I know that God opposes the proud and shows favour to the humble. Ultimately, so what if I am good, so what if I have a lot to offer... if that job is not part of God's plan, he will not open that door for me no matter how much I want it. It's sad, but it's something I've learnt over these few months of tough job hunt.

I've got some ups and downs, opened yet closed doors. It's not a happy problem I'm facing. And really, sometimes, I think to myself, is graduating one sem earlier a bad choice or rather, a wrong choice? Should I have graduated the same time as my batch? Or, am I that bad that no one wants to employ me?

Most of my friends can get a job, why not me? God... why?

But deep down, I know that although it may take a longer time, I must have faith that God will eventual grant me the wishes of my heart and that his plans for me are higher than mine. So, I'm trusting my job search to him and I pray that he will open the right door for me. It may not be the best job in the world, but it's the best job for me.

 Sometimes in life we tend to focus more of the negative things in life because we always trying to improve and yearning for a better life. But they often forgot about the positive things in life and staying appreciative.
