Ok.. so here’s the cycle that we need to deal with, which I am in right now, since I’m in my final year and graduating soon.
Sorry to whoever I took this cycle from, no idea where I read this anymore…
Limbo–>Rejection–>Frustration–>Discouragement–>Regroup
Limbo:
Send in your application, and wait… and wait… and wait… and… wait, most of the time, it just stops here, and then u just realize that u should just give up and consider it as rejected
Rejection:
Sometimes it’s nice when u get to this stage, with the usual, “while you are outstanding, we regret to inform you that…”. At least it skips the limbo, mindless waiting stage
Frustration:
After enough of stage 1 & 2, people would eventually hit this, and they start blaming people, scolding others.. blah blah..
Discouragement:
After even more of the above, some will just give up the applications and job seeking altogether, which is great, for a while, to give yourself time to recoup and recover, and the plan, and think back. Which leads us to…
Regroup
Look back.. think about what’s wrong, consult with your friends, family, close ones, try to improve our presentation, and then.. TRY AGAIN, and we can have fun in the endless loop, till we hit the lucky BREAK! And land our job
I’m now kinda in between stages 4 & 5.. gonna rework my resume and stuff, ar.. I really need a break! (both in the literal and the BREAK above)
Break!
O yea.. had a great, though short time with my dear today, for our anniversary month, and then went home in a blur state, by wanting to alight at the wrong side of Jurong East interchange, and then ending up at Boon Lay station!
