Uncertainty after uncertainty, that's what I've been going through in my journey in job seeking. At one point I was on fire and another point I was desperately pessimistic. Every time I was feeling down after I heard no news after an interview, I would lose the will to look for more opportunities. But I keep feeding my positive dog with positive thoughts. It's hard, I know, but I know I've got to do it. I keep telling myself not to stop looking, not to give up trying, it's just a matter of time inshaa Allah. If I stop looking, I might miss out on a really good opportunity. If I give up trying, it means I'm delaying my success. With all energy that I have left, I'm still pushing myself. I refuse to give up.
Last week I gathered up the courage to start applying again. It was on Saturday. I was quite bored and I thought that I didn't want to miss any opportunity that came up during that week, so I applied to some vacancies. I counted the number of applications that I sent. It was seven; seven applications. On Monday, I got a call. Surprise, surprise, it was from my past employer (I sent application on that Saturday). I was very happy. That was the phone call I've been waiting all my life here in Australia. I got an invitation for an interview the next day. I prepared beforehand and made sure I wasn't going to be late like my last interview (which was embarrassing). I made sure everything was perfect. I did my best, and will let Allah do the rest. I still haven't got a call back though, but I'm hoping it will come in soon. But if I didn't get the job, I will go back feeding my positive dog again and reminding myself again "just a little bit more...".
