1 week

I hope it is not too much to ask for one week of rest before I officially start to look for a job.

Give me one week to wallow please. If I were to find jobs now I dont know how to face the interviewers even, how do I even expecting to clinch a job? I hate to think how I would need to answer repeatedly why I left the last job cos interviewers LOVE to ask this question.

Hence I've decided to give myself a break, and not wander my finger over the 'New tab' icon in my mozilla browser for hours without actually clicking on it to enter any jobsite's address. I appreciate a vacation. I hope when I emerged from this I am a strengthened person already.

But that brings me to my next worry, what if I cant find a job after this? I keep willing myself to think on the bright side. Not to offend anyone or be insensitive here, but I am I am being as neutral as I can already.

It could had been harder for me to find a job if :

  • I'm only a PSLE grad but I am not.
  • I'm a degree/master holder but I am not. (Recently my friends who had it worse in finding jobs are those with very good qualifications.)
  • I've been convicted for a crime but I had not.
  • I'm a bankrupt but I am not.
  • I'm handicapped but I am not.
  • I've got atrocious results at school but I had not. (Not that I can really remember, haha.)
  • I've a serious personality flaw, like the tendecy to lie, but I had not.
  • I've a problem controlling the amount I smoke or drink but I have not. (I think those whose life is controlled by a mere liquid or a mere dangerous herb is pathetic. But a few glasses a day or a few sticks a day is ok. I am not saying about you.)
  • I demand a high pay but I dont.
  • I'm not susceptible to long working hours and OT but I am not.

Sigh. This doesnt make me feel better at all. What's my point in the first place.
