I've officially ORDed from NS on 22nd December 2005. Funny though, doesn't make much of a difference. Everyone keeps saying that MINDEF gave me back my freedom as a Chrismas present, but I'd beg to differ. Soon, I'll be working and then I'll cry my 'loss' of freedom due to work.
Been for a few job interviews already. Previously I'd screwed up my 1st 2 interviews, realising that I should be marketing and 'selling' myself, I bucked up and got myself placed for a few more interviews, even to firms which were not hiring at the moment. One was however, willing to create a post for me-so thus, perhaps I scored on that point. However, the drive to excel and find that dream 1st job has drained. Though I've been lucky to garner a few, it seems that for some reason, I'm starting to get depressed...again...perhaps my self esteem and confidence took a nose dive then I've posted applications and emails to at least 80+ companies and only a few were willing to interview me. A few were decent to at least reply my email saying that they had
no vacancies. It irks me to find that certain companies are just downright rude and aren't being civil.
Christmas & New Year has come and past. While I'm writing this, I certainly feel consigned to my fate. I'm certainly loved and blessed to have my family and a few friends (old and relatively new) , namely, Justin, Norain, Marcus, Simon, Siti, Cliff, Colin, who have given me so much encouragement. If you guys are reading this, I just wanna say thanks for lifting me up. =) Esp, Justin & Norain, we had a great time on that 1st day Monday of the new year.
SJAB wise, I've handed my appointment of Corps Officer in Charge to one of my 2 teachers in CTSS. Think she'll do a great job with all the assistacne from the kids. I've done my part for the past 7 years? (1999 to 2005) and its time for a change in leadership. I can't remain relevant to the kids anymore since I can't be present at their instructional meetings most of the time and thus have relagated myself as the unit advisor. I've however, expanded my unofficial portfolio at NHQ, with me and Colin processing the entire Brigade's CPBS. A feat to accomplish considering we have to takre care of our careers, own units anf the Zone. Hopefully, we'll get more help soon.
