Jobless

It has been a while for leaving this session unattended since I was back in Singapore.

In the beginning, I felt happy and sweet to be home. I felt ambitious to get better job and so, I have high expectation and demands on myself. However, things didn’t seem to turn out the way I wanted to be.

After one month of job hunting, I told myself, just be patient. Two months gone, I start to feel anxious. What happen to all my applications? Am I over-confident? Am I too picky? Is there something wrong with my resume or cover letter? Probably I lack of experience in the job I want.

The longer joblessness lasts, the greater the emotional toll it takes on me. Desperation, depression, anxiety and frustration slowly come to me. I feel a sense of humiliation and my self-esteem starts to take a hit.

Praying hard for better weeks to come……

  1. Yeah Susan, I felt the same too. We are in the same boat, just that I'm currently stuck to this stagnant job. When will it be a dead end.. i do not know.

    I do not know where to go frm here too. Application uppon applications.. no news either. I do feel that I must be lacking somewhere..

    Let's support each other. Let's hope & pray for the best. Stay strong ya!
