So the month of July has just passed us and we are now in August. Not too sure why I didnt write any updates in July and as I am typing all this, I myself am trying to figure out what really transpired in July. I suppose nothing really eventful or major – I did try to apply for a few jobs, namely at a large well known semi-conductor establishment and at one of them Magnificent 7 companies. Both also rejected me which made me wonder – seriously what are these guys really looking for? Based on my own AI proximity fit to the job role, It felt i had a very high fit, but as wifey says, sometimes its also a timing thing.
In any case, you might be wondering why am I even planning to leave my current job? Well to be honest I dont really have a solid reason – yeah i keep telling myself its to do with the whole “you are not performing enough at your level-you need to do more” mantra, but at the same time I am honestly not interested in doing alot more for the company other than just seeing to the needs of my client – I have no motivation to get promoted because my pay is already pretty decent (and I recently got a small increament that too!) so things are ok for me. But I am often worried about “when the good times will end” and I also feel its time for me to move on. The client is nice, but forcing myself everyday to try to see new ways of doing things with the client (and boosting my career expeirence in the process) can only get me so far.
Another role has also come up with a large Big Pharma company but the role is on Organisation and Culture – something up my alley. I am very fortunate that I have a friend working there and she has been kind enough to refer me for the role so hopefully this looks more promising. The role does have some travel involved, and is an APAC role so hopefully things work out for me this time. THe ironiy is just as I was about to start on the application, I get an email saying the system is down and will be down until later tonight. Wifey says Jesus is teling me to “take a chill pill” and maybe she isn’t wrong on this. Its just that its been a nerve wrecking experience for me to do all these application processes and its been tiring. Especially doing it at night wih tired heavy eyes. Anyway hopefully the system will be up later tonight and I can get it done by this weekend.
Truth be told, all this waiting is wearing me down. Waiting for kangaroo land, waiting for a job, waiting on a chance to work abroad – all this has been weighing me down (the wait I mean) but I know and I am trying to stay positive and have patience with Him. I know in the fulness of time, He will come through. But man, the wait can be really a pain.
