Job Searching

Before I start on my main topic today, let me share with you guys some of the dialogues between my mother & I.

***********************************************************

Few years ago
Mother: Are you going to auntie's house in this coming holiday?
Me: No. Auntie's staying at Teluk Intan. It's a bit far from KL. I am afraid of long-distance with public transport.

Currently

Me: Dad, Can you help me to buy a bus ticket to singapore for this coming 10th Jan?
Mother: Ohhh~ Go Auntie's there is far but singapore is not??? I just realised Singapore is nearer than Teluk Intan from KL. Since when you are no more afraid of long-distance?
Me: .........................................................................

***********************************************************

Few Months ago
My auntie's: You shall try in singapore after graduated. Singapore is safety compare to KL and can earn more... blar blar blar~
Me: eh~ I Don't like singapore. Singaporeans is very ego, food is sucks, lifestyle is very boring and too systematic & not as fun as KL..blar blar blar~

Currently
Me: Mummy and daddy, I just sent my resume to few of Singapore based companies.
Parents: .................................................................

***********************************************************

Yes, That's what had happened in my life currently. Don't laugh! I know I'm very contradict. The only reason that I able to provide is... "Love is Blind"... or "This is so called The Power of Love"......(most is because of Singapore currency.)

For this reason, I trying hard currently to search on jobs and sent over my resume. Actually I had though a lot in mind before to make the decision. A bit dilemma as I was facing with this situation. Asking myself "should I start my career in Singapore or just get back to my comfort zone in KL." I worrying couldn't adapt in new environment, a place that I unfamiliar at the meanwhile far away from my family. I lack of confident about my own capability and I worrying I couldn't handle well in my jobs. Especially with my language obstacles now. How could I fight with those Singaporeans? There's a lot of questions in my mind & desperate for an answers. Confident is needed, braveness is needed & encouragement is needed too.

However, I did tried to push my self to move on. Asked myself to take every little obstacles as another challenges in life. A way to learn and be stronger. Just try it out and give a chance to myself to explore further in life. There's some position I had applied within this two days such as marketing coordinator, marketing assistant, marketing executive, business development executive, marketing planner, Marketing Specialist, Advertising & promotions executive. The marketing positions that I had applied are not exactly based on sales, most is about strategy and brand management that related to advertising. (I keep asking myself don't scare by the job titles.) By the way, I wish I able to get the feedback for interview so that I could contribute in my family, share the burden for my daddy. Otherwise, I need to find another job in KL again..which is underpaid T.T Good luck to myself!
