Note to job seeker?

*it's allllll my own opinions* 

To all job seekers. 

I know job hunting is not easy. 

I know job hunting is not easy at all. 

It is torturing in fact. Mentally torturing. 

For the past few months....12 months(?), every morning the first thing I do after I open my eyes - 

I reach out my mobile and refresh my email inbox to follow up all the jobs that I applied. 

Everyday, never fails, except for weekends of coz. 

But everyday, I check my inbox. 

Everyday I wait for phone calls from any possible successful application. 

When my phone rings, so nervous and say hello. 

The first few times I always screw up the phone calls but later on I get used to it and it went well. 

Practice makes perfect. 

Job hunting can drive people nuts! 

I don't know anything about back home coz I started my career in OZ. 

Maybe the job hunt back home would be slightly easier coz you get connections easier. 

I started from zero, I don't know how I did it but I just did it. 

I am not well knowns of coz...still a peanut but at least I have got a few connections. 

It's not easy. It takes time. It takes so much time. 

And most importantly, be strong mentally and be determine. 

Do not lost hope. 

It's not easy, I know. 

But do not lost hope. 

Opportunities are out there. 

You will get it eventually. 

Yes, believe me.  

So, to all my job seekers friend - 

Please do not lost hope. 

Please do not stop sending out your resume lol. 

I swear, I give out my resume like leave-lets. 

If you tell me you sent out like maybe 10 applications and no reply...

10 applications means nothing, really. 

I am not being harsh but from my own experience - 

I think I sent out 100 since last year. 

So, 10 is really nothing. 

One of the manager that spoke to me earlier, he told me he sent out 100-200 applications back then when he just graduate. 

So - 10??!! 

You just have to very determine and keep telling yourself not to give up. 

But, if you get reply after 10 applications, you are just damn lucky or you have really good qualifications la ok. 

But seriously, do not lost hope friends. 

Be positive. 

Find someone to talk. 

As a fresh grad, I have nothing to negotiate with people with experience. 

Seriously nothing to nego - so what if I am a bachelor degree student? everyone is. so what I finished my studies in a university? so, nothing lol.

So, I just keep applying and hoping someone will get back to me and any job that is within my acceptable scope, I will just do it. 

I just have to start from somewhere. 

I am not the lucky one, I would say. 

It took me quite some time to build up my small little circle of connections and it took some time to get spotted by people. 

So yeah. 

Please do not lost hope friends. 

I believe opportunities are out there. 

Every opportunity is your chance to get and secure that damn job. 

I don't know where I will be in the future but I hope I will be good and proud of myself. 

I don't know where I will be too but I am just gonna give my best for now. 

And yes, I kinda secured a job and I was lucky someone saw me lol *WIDE SMILE* like finally okayyyyy. 

Let's wait till my probation ends... 

I will feel secure then! 

DO NOT LOST HOPE. 

BELIEVE YOURSELF. 

WE CAN DO IT. 

We are still young, we have so much opportunities - 

Something I read from facebook - 我输得起！

True that. 

We are still young so just try out any opportunity. 

Good luck friends, you can do it, I can do it, we all can.
