One Month and Jobless Blues

Hey there, World!

Well, it's been another month since I last wrote here. I guess I had nothing to write about in one month, but now I do.

I am still jobless if you are wondering. I have been searching online to find any HR job that I could apply. I was suppose to have an interview at Makati, but I didn't show up. I know that not showing up means that I am not going to be hired and stuff. I told that about it to my mother. She got worried that if I work at Makati, I will have to worry about the fare going there and back also my food. She encouraged that I should apply somewhere near.

So, then my options got smaller. But of course, there are more vacant jobs at Makati and Manila than here around Laguna. Though I still search around that are in Makati.

Oh, I didn't leave the house to apply, I actually searched online. I registered in some online job search sites like Kalibrr and JobStreet. I also browsed in a group page in Facebook to see job postings. I can't go out and go to Makati to apply because we are tight on money and... well embarrassingly, I am afraid to go out on my own.

I searched and sent resumes but none of them called. Well, one did call... but the guy offered me to do sales. And the funny thing is that I think the caller got annoyed at me because of the way that talked to him. I seriously don't want to do sales because not only my parents don't want me to, I can't do that kind of job because of my personality and attitude.

Though during those times that I was still searching, there was a new game that released here in South East Asia. It's called Tree of Savior and it's free to play in Steam. I am actually online more often in Steam than in Facebook because of TOS. I might blog about it soon, so watch out for that! :)

Anyway, I still searched and searched but to no avail, no one called or emailed me to schedule an interview. After a while I lost my motivation again to find a job. Whenever I see a post from my batchmates, both in high school and college, that they have an interview or they landed a job I feel rather sad and I log out. It's another reason that I rarely go online in Facebook. It makes me feel that I have done nothing to get a job and that is why I am jobless. I can't ask money from my parents because I know that they are expecting that I won't do that because I will find a job. I have cried a few times because of the fact that I am unemployed and I couldn't do anything to be employed and help my family. Whenever I go to church, I always prayed that I will have a job. Though I guess it's in God's timing that I will have one but not immediately.

For now, I am not searching any job online now because I can't find anything there. But I am not losing hope that I could find a way to make a living even if I am not leaving this house.

My advice for people who are like me, that are college graduates but couldn't get a job, just keep moving forward, as Walt Disney would say. Keep applying, keep sending resumes, I know that there is a job out there waiting for you. You just have to be determined(like in Undertale). I just wish I put my own advice to myself.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and I'll write again soon. :)
